php loop for (count array)/times

I have a function geturls() that returns $urls as array

$urls[1] $urls[2] .....$urls[44]

However I don't know count of $urls (sometimes 44 45 77 ....)

And I want to make a loop for many times (44 in this case but could change)

So here is my script 

function geturls($xml){
//my function
}

$urls = geturls($xml);
$counti = count($urls);

for ($i = 1; $i <= $counti; $i++) {
$modifiedurl = modify($urls[$i]);
echo $modifiedurl;
}

Is there a better way to do this (I'm sure there is a better way without using count() )?

You can walk through an arrays elements with the array map function.

$modifiedUrls = array_map('modify', $urls);

Just made a test about our answers.

<?php

$start = microtime(true);

$urls = range(1, 1000000);

function modify($url)
{
    return "modified_".$url;
}

$modified_urls = [];

foreach ($urls as $url) {
    $modified_urls[] = modify($url);
}

// $modified_urls = array_map('modify', $urls);

$end = microtime(true);

$time_elapsed_secs = $end - $start;

echo $time_elapsed_secs;

  • foreach: 0.202~ ms

  • array_map: 0.130~s ms

Use foreach():

$modified_urls = []; //create new array for modified URLs

foreach($urls as $url){
    $modified_urls[] = modify($url); //modify this URL and add it to the array
}

print_r($modified_urls); //output the array
