optimizing space for array of booleans

Some languages allows to bit-pack structures to save spaces. Since PHP doesn't have native set data type and operations, will array of booleans be optimized as such? If not, how can I achieve the same result? I need to save about 200 boolean values and I guess it's a good idea to use bitsets. Requirements: - Easy to use (set, unset, test), so C way to use bitwise operations is simply rejected. I need something like Pascal's set. - Small space (bit level if possible) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/optimizing-space-for-array-of-booleans-tp22159131p22159131.html Sent from the PHP - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
