Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-05 19:26:00] info at strictcoding dot co dot uk Agreed, it would be a very nice addition, this is currently a blocking issue for doing some cool stuff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-23 11:22:06] mep_eisen at web dot de I don't get the point why ArrayAccess allowes object as keys (which is very nice) but Iterator does not allow it. I use proxy objects to store instances during serialization and connect them to a single object instance during unserialization. Having those proxies as keys in arrays would be really nice. SplObjectStorage does not work because multiple proxies that are connected to the same underlying object instance will always be different keys for SplObjectStorage. What's about the feature request? Any news? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-21 19:19:04] bytebrite at gmail dot com This would be a nice addition. What technical issues are preventing this functionality from being realized? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-16 02:29:33] tejas dot net+php at gmail dot com Agreed. Its cool that 5.3 has the ArrayAccess interface, but key() not being able to return objects really gets in the way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-12 17:38:25] fqqdk at freemail dot hu I don't see why ArrayAccess can allow objects (or anything) as array keys, and Iterator doesn't. This is inconsistent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
