Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

Question

It often happens to me to handle data that can be either an array or a null variable and to feed some foreach with these data.

$values = get_val         


        

Answer 1

More concise extension of @Kris's code

function secure_iterable($var)
{
    return is_iterable($var) ? $var : array();
}

foreach (secure_iterable($values) as $value)
{
     //do stuff...
}

especially for using inside template code
