README

composer require srph/map-range

A more efficient foreach-range.

Usage

SRPH\MapRange\map_range(function($index) {
	// do something
}, $from, $to);

For PHP >=v5.6, you can use the use function (aka import function) syntax:

use function SRPH\MapRange\map_range;

map_range(function($index) {
	// do something
}, $from, $to);

Note that it iterates while $from <= $to.

Why

Because some developers prefer this

foreach(range(0, 10) as $i) {
	// ..
} 

Over this:

for ( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++ ) {
	//
}

In which the first example generates a buffer array first (which is terrible for performance).
