This is unlikely to happen and thus I'm changing this feature request. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-06 21:31:43] dave at smartboy dot com Description: ------------ Attempting to use instances of class SplObjectStorage as an array results in exceptions and generally does not work as expected. Test script: --------------- $s = new SplObjectStorage; $o = new stdClass; $s[$o]["key"] = "value"; var_export($s[$o]); // Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'UnexpectedValueException' with message 'Object not found' Expected result: ---------------- The above sample code should create an array for the object key inside SplObjectStorage, and display: array ( 'key' => 'value', ) Compare the above code with: $s = array(); $o = "someKey"; $s[$o]["key"] = "value"; var_export($s[$o]); which works as expected and displays array ( 'key' => 'value', ) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'UnexpectedValueException' with message 'Object not found' in Command line code:1 Stack trace: #0 Command line code(1): SplObjectStorage->offsetGet(Object(stdClass)) #1 {main} thrown in Command line code on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63449&edit=1
