I feel foreach() should silently ingore any non-array variables passed to it, especially if this was modeled after the same Perl statement.  At the very least, I would like to be able to use the @ notation in front of it so that the script won't die if it doesn't get it's array.  Otherwise, I have to continually use is_array() before using foreach() just to make sure my script continues to live.  Since PHP doesn't make you delcare or initialize variables, you can't always expect that the variables you give a statement or function will be what they are supposed to me.

I know that I can just turn my error reporting down, but I do want to see other valid script and parse errors.

Thanks,

Daniel Beckham
