QuickHashStringIntHash::set

(No version information available, might only be in Git)
This method updates an entry in the hash with a new value, or adds a new one if the entry doesn't exist
public int QuickHashStringIntHash::set ( string $key, int $value )

This method tries to update an entry with a new value. In case the entry did not yet exist, it will instead add a new entry. It returns whether the entry was added or update. If there are duplicate keys, only the first found element will get an updated value. Use QuickHashStringIntHash::CHECK_FOR_DUPES during hash creation to prevent duplicate keys from being part of the hash.

Parameters:
key

The key of the entry to add or update.

value

The value of the entry to add. If a non-string is passed, it will be converted to a string automatically if possible.

Returns:

2 if the entry was found and updated, 1 if the entry was newly added or 0 if there was an error.

Examples:
QuickHashStringIntHash::set() example
<?php
$hash = new QuickHashStringIntHash( 1024 );

echo "Set->Add\n";
var_dump( $hash->get( "fourty six thousand six hundred ninety two" ) );
var_dump( $hash->set( "fourty six thousand six hundred ninety two", 16091 ) );
var_dump( $hash->get( "fourty six thousand six hundred ninety two" ) );

echo "Set->Update\n";
var_dump( $hash->set( "fourty six thousand six hundred ninety two", 29906 ) );
var_dump( $hash->get( "fourty six thousand six hundred ninety two" ) );
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Set->Add
bool(false)
int(2)
int(16091)
Set->Update
int(1)
int(29906)
