how to edit row inside array of objects in php?

Question

i have a var that holds an array of objects. $object:

Array
(
[0] => First_Model Object
    (
        [_id:protected] => 988198
        [_status:protected] => some string here
        [_user_id:protected] => 18289
    )

[1] => Second_Model Object
    (
        [_id:protected] => 566198
        [_status:protected] => some string here
        [_user_id:protected] => 18290
    )
....

if i do:

<?php foreach($object as $row): ?>
<?php echo $row->status(); ?>
<?php endforeach: ?>

i get: some string here

what i want to do is to edit $row->status(), maybe use ucwords or something on this string and them place it back in the $object so that when i do the loop i get the changed result.

i could alter the result inside the foreach loop but i want my code to be clean.

so i need to grab $object->status do something with it then place it back on the $object then ill have the modified result..

any ideas on how to place the modified string inside the array of objects?

thanks

@webbiedave Theory is: when you use specialized function (such as array_walk), in future it may work in parallel threads. And I guess php provides some kind of optimalization for calling function via this function (at least callback are called from C source (array_walk is implemented in C), not via interpreted (slower) code). — Vyktor

@Vyktor: Using array_walk is almost always slower than just foreach-ing. Future parallel thread? By the time PHP can do that, we'll all have flying cars :) — webbiedave

You need array_walk, all necessary examples are in documentation :)

I would also create interface, that would declare methods: setStatus and getStatus and use

if( !($item1 instanceof YourInterface)){
    throw new Exception(...);
}
