php - array_walk vs array_map vs foreach
314
I'm trying to compare these three but it seems onlyarray_map
works.
$input = array( ' hello ','whsdf ',' lve you',' ');
$input2 = array( ' hello ','whsdf ',' lve you',' ');
$input3 = array( ' hello ','whsdf ',' lve you',' ');
$time_start = microtime(true);
$input = array_map('trim',$input);
$time_end = microtime(true);
$time = $time_end - $time_start;
echo "Did array_map in $time seconds<br>";
foreach($input as $in){
echo "'$in': ".strlen($in)."<br>";
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////
$time_start = microtime(true);
array_walk($input2,'trim');
$time_end = microtime(true);
$time = $time_end - $time_start;
echo "Did array_walk in $time seconds<br>";
foreach($input2 as $in){
echo "'$in': ".strlen($in)."<br>";
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////
$time_start = microtime(true);
foreach($input3 as $in){
$in = trim($in);
}
$time_end = microtime(true);
$time = $time_end - $time_start;
echo "Did foreach in $time seconds<br>";
foreach($input3 as $in){
echo "'$in': ".strlen($in)."<br>";
}
What Am I Doing Wrong? Here's the output:
Did array_map in 0.00018000602722168 seconds
'hello': 5
'whsdf': 5
'lve you': 7
'': 0
Did array_walk in 0.00014209747314453 seconds
' hello ': 10
'whsdf ': 41
' lve you': 37
' ': 30
Did foreach in 0.00012993812561035 seconds
' hello ': 10
'whsdf ': 41
' lve you': 37
' ': 30
It's not trimming forarray_walk
and theforeach
loop.

Solution:
doesn't look at what result function gives. Instead it passes callback a reference to item value. So your code for it to work needs to be
foreach
doesn't store changed values itself either. Change it toRead more about references.
