Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Batches operations on any elgg_get_*() or compatible function that supports an options array.

Instead of returning all objects in memory, it goes through $chunk_size objects, then requests more from the server. This avoids OOM errors.

Parameters

string	$getter	The function used to get objects. Usually an elgg_get_*() function, but can be any valid PHP callback.
array	$options	The options array to pass to the getter function. If limit is not set, 10 is used as the default. In most cases that is not what you want.
mixed	$callback	An optional callback function that all results will be passed to upon load. The callback needs to accept $result, $getter, $options.
int	$chunk_size	The number of entities to pull in before requesting more. You have to balance this between running out of memory in PHP and hitting the db server too often.
bool	$inc_offset	Increment the offset on each fetch. This must be false for callbacks that delete rows. You can set this after the object is created with ElggBatch::setIncrementOffset().
