# The MultipleIterator class

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7)

## Introduction

An Iterator that sequentially iterates over all attached iterators

## Class synopsis

MultipleIterator implements Iterator {
/* Constants */
const int MIT_NEED_ANY = 0 ;
const int MIT_NEED_ALL = 1 ;
const int MIT_KEYS_NUMERIC = 0 ;
const int MIT_KEYS_ASSOC = 2 ;
/* Methods */
public __construct ([ int `$flags` = MultipleIterator::MIT_NEED_ALL|MultipleIterator::MIT_KEYS_NUMERIC ] )
public attachIterator ( Iterator `$iterator` [, string `$infos` ] ) : void
public containsIterator ( Iterator `$iterator` ) : bool
public countIterators ( ) : int
public current ( ) : array
public detachIterator ( Iterator `$iterator` ) : void

public key ( ) : array

}

## Predefined Constants

`MultipleIterator::MIT_NEED_ANY`

  Do not require all sub iterators to be valid in iteration.

`MultipleIterator::MIT_NEED_ALL`

  Require all sub iterators to be valid in iteration.

`MultipleIterator::MIT_KEYS_NUMERIC`

  Keys are created from the sub iterators position.

`MultipleIterator::MIT_KEYS_ASSOC`

  Keys are created from sub iterators associated information.
