(PHP 5 >= 5.0.0, PHP 7)
Examples:
Basic usage
<?php class obj implements ArrayAccess { private $container = array(); public function __construct() { $this->container = array( "one" => 1, "two" => 2, "three" => 3, ); } public function offsetSet($offset, $value) { if (is_null($offset)) { $this->container[] = $value; } else { $this->container[$offset] = $value; } } public function offsetExists($offset) { return isset($this->container[$offset]); } public function offsetUnset($offset) { unset($this->container[$offset]); } public function offsetGet($offset) { return isset($this->container[$offset]) ? $this->container[$offset] : null; } } $obj = new obj; var_dump(isset($obj["two"])); var_dump($obj["two"]); unset($obj["two"]); var_dump(isset($obj["two"])); $obj["two"] = "A value"; var_dump($obj["two"]); $obj[] = 'Append 1'; $obj[] = 'Append 2'; $obj[] = 'Append 3'; print_r($obj); ?>
The above example will output something similar to:
bool(true) int(2) bool(false) string(7) "A value" obj Object ( [container:obj:private] => Array ( [one] => 1 [three] => 3 [two] => A value [0] => Append 1 [1] => Append 2 [2] => Append 3 ) )
