ArrayObject iterator class requires a child of ArrayObject or ArrayIterator

<?php

class MyIterator implements Iterator {

    public
    function
__construct(ArrayObject $array, $flags = 0) {
       
// ...
   
}

    public
    function
current() {
       
// ..
   
}

    public
    function
next() {
       
// ..
   
}

    public
    function
key() {
       
// ..
   
}

    public
    function
valid() {
       
// ..
   
}

    public
    function
rewind() {
       
// ..
   
}   
}

$obj = new ArrayObject(array(), 0, 'MyIterator');
$obj->getIterator();

?>
