SplFixedArray usage example
<?php // Initialize the array with a fixed length $array = new SplFixedArray(5); $array[1] = 2; $array[4] = "foo"; var_dump($array[0]); // NULL var_dump($array[1]); // int(2) var_dump($array["4"]); // string(3) "foo" // Increase the size of the array to 10 $array->setSize(10); $array[9] = "asdf"; // Shrink the array to a size of 2 $array->setSize(2); // The following lines throw a RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range try { var_dump($array["non-numeric"]); } catch(RuntimeException $re) { echo "RuntimeException: ".$re->getMessage()."\n"; } try { var_dump($array[-1]); } catch(RuntimeException $re) { echo "RuntimeException: ".$re->getMessage()."\n"; } try { var_dump($array[5]); } catch(RuntimeException $re) { echo "RuntimeException: ".$re->getMessage()."\n"; } ?>
The above example will output:
NULL int(2) string(3) "foo" RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range
