The ArrayAccess interface

Introduction

Interface to provide accessing objects as arrays.

Class synopsis

ArrayAccess
ArrayAccess {
/* Methods */
abstract public boolean offsetExists ( string $offset )
abstract public mixed offsetGet ( string $offset )
abstract public void offsetSet ( string $offset , string $value )
abstract public void offsetUnset ( string $offset )
}

Example #1 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) {
        $this->container[$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"]);

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

bool(true)
int(2)
bool(false)
string(7) "A value"
