Re: associative arrays

Actually, this is quite well documented, if you actually try to look the documentation up... http://www.zend.com/apidoc/x1243.php Zeev At 12:24 13-08-01, Markus Fischer wrote:

go Rasmus go! :-) Some more examples and we seriously can extend zend.com/apidoc . Such examples are of great value to anyone who is new to writing php extension. - Markus On Mon, Aug 13, 2001 at 02:14:01AM -0700, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote : Ah, ok. It's not much harder: pval *tmp_arr; array_init(return_value); MAKE_STD_ZVAL(tmp_arr); array_init(tmp_arr); add_assoc_string(tmp_arr, "string index", "foo", 1); zend_hash_index_update(Z_ARRVAL_P(return_value), 5, &tmp_arr, sizeof(tmp_arr), NULL); This will create $whatever[5]['string index'] = 'foo' Or if you want a string index at the top level: zend_hash_update(Z_ARRVAL_P(return_value), "bar", strlen("bar")+1, &tmp_arr, sizeof(tmp_arr), NULL); This will create $whatever['bar']['string index'] = 'foo'; -Rasmus On Mon, 13 Aug 2001, Thomas Wentzel wrote:

Uhhh sorry! What I should have said is that... The associative array I wish to return is to be an array element of .... an associative array ;) Meaning... I need the functionality of add_assoc_array but since this function doesn't exist - I have to manipulate with the zend_hash_xxx in order to get what I want - but I fail to connect my constructed array with a name...

I was wondering if someone would be so nice as to post a code snippet that returns an associative array... I'm writing an extension and am only able to return an ordinary array... Alternatively I would be very interested if someone could point me to some documentation on the zend_hash_xxx functions

array_init(return_value); add_assoc_string(return_value, "string index", your_char_var, 1); add_assoc_double(return_value, "another one", your_long_var); That's all. Last arg on add_assoc_string() should be 1 if you need to make a copy of the string. If the char * you are passing was

allocated by

you using emalloc() then don't make a copy. You don't need any zend_hash_xxx functions to just return an

associative

array. -Rasmus
