Bug #15128: php_java array access

From: paul.schaap@dingoblue.com.au Operating system: Any PHP version: 4.1.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: php_java array access Hello, Currently under the php_java extension to access array elements you must pull the whole array/hashtable into a php variable before you can access its elements. e.g. r.java ####################################### import java.util.*; public class r { public Hashtable y = new Hashtable(); public void r() { y.put("x","xx"); } } ####################################### <?php $je = new Java("r"); $je->r(); $ht = $je->y; echo $ht["x"]; ?> It would be much nicer (and more php'esque) to access the array and hashtable variables directly like so :- <?php $je = new Java("r"); $je->r(); echo $je->y["x"]; ?> As a trial I ported my custom database access class to Java JDBC with connection pooling, which went very smoothly bar this one difference (I have relied heavily on '$je-> y["x"];' style access in my arrays in my pages). I have had a little stab at figuring out from the source how to implement this, but it is beyond my abilities. Hence my feature request.
