Object Type

object is a PHP type, which represents an object of any class, including anonymous classes.

object may be used with properties, arguments and returntype, but not with instanceof.

<?php

foreach([11,12,13] as $id => $value) {
    print "$id => $value\n";
}

for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
    echo $i;
}

$i = 10;
while ($i <= 10) {
    echo $i++;
}

$i = 10;
do {
    echo $i++;
} while ($i <= 10);

$a = new A;
var_dump($a instanceof object);

?>
