Class File_MARC_List

Description
Description | Methods (details)

The File_MARC_List class extends the Structures_LinkedList_Double class to override the key() method in a meaningful way for foreach() iterators.

For the list of File_MARC_Field objects in a File_MARC_Record object, the key() method returns the tag name of the field.

For the list of File_MARC_Subfield objects in a File_MARC_Data_Field object, the key() method returns the code of the subfield.

  1.  // Iterate through the fields in a record with key=>value iteration
  2.   foreach ($record->getFields() as $tag=>$value) {
  3.      print "$tag: ";
  4.      if ($value instanceof File_MARC_Control_Field) {
  5.          print $value->getData();
  6.      }
  7.      else {
  8.          // Iterate through the subfields in this data field
  9.                   foreach ($value->getSubfields() as $code=>$subdata) {
  10.              print "_$code";
  11.          }
  12.      }
  13.      print "\n";
  14.  }
