Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

Question

It often happens to me to handle data that can be either an array or a null variable and to feed some foreach with these data.

$values = get_val         


        

Answer 1

What about defining an empty array as fallback if get_value() is empty?
I can't think of a shortest way.

$values = get_values() ?: [];

foreach ($values as $value){
  ...
}
