Re: [PHP-DEV] Let range() return a generator?

Yeah, sorry, it was a bad example -- I just noted after I submit. hehe About "new Generator($arg)" I mean a method to flag the first argument on function, that should identify that it should work differently or default method (without allocate memory). I guess that it is not implemented on PHP cor

Re: [PHP-DEV] Let range() return a generator?

There are some way to PHP be flagged before run some function, and understand that you wants to return a Generator instead of array? For instance: new Generator(range(1, 1000)) makes range() work like a generator instead of return an array - it's an alternative to avoid new keywords. Or, maybe, som

[PHP-DEV] PDO Sqlite functions – still experimental?

Hi! PDO::sqliteCreateAggregate(), sqliteCreateCollation() and ::sqliteCreateFunction() are marked as being experimental[1] since they've been introduced in PHP 5.1.0. Has that been overlooked, or are they really still experimental? [1]

Re: [PHP-DEV] Let range() return a generator?

I guess that a lot of PHP functions that could be replaced by a Generator (basically all array functions like array_values(), array_keys(), etc). But there are a big question: could it be applied to any case? It will be faster than just an array? Certainly it will be more memory optimized. About B
