Php, is there an array to iterator converter?

Question

its good that there is iterator to array http://php.net/manual/en/function.iterator-to-array.php but is there anything to do it reversed?

Answer 1

Yes, if reversed means just make an Iterator from a given Array.

$array = array(
  'a' => 1,
  2 => new stdClass,
  3 => array('subArrayStuff'=>'value')
);

$iterator = new ArrayObject($array);

$arrayAgain = iterator_to_array($iterator);

Try it.
