PHP 8.x polyfill for the removed each() function

README

This package returns the legacy each() function which has been removed in PHP 8.0. This can be useful when working with legacy code or with end-of-life packages which still make use of the each() function.

It is therefore not really a polyfill but rather a shim as it provides legacy functionality to modern-day software instead of vice versa. I have still chosen the name polyfill as this term is usually top of mind irrespective of the direction of the port.

Prerequisites

• PHP 5.3 or later, though the shim will only take effect in PHP 8.x

Installation

Installation can be easily done using Composer:

composer require christiaanbye/polyfill-each
