note 70730 added to language.types.array

This page should include details about how associative arrays are implemened inside PHP; e.g. using hash-maps or b-trees. This has important implictions on the permance characteristics of associative arrays and how they should be used; e.g. b-tree are slow to insert but handle collisions better than hashmaps. Hashmaps are faster if there are no collisions, but are slower to retrieve when there are collisions. These factors have implictions on how associative arrays should be used. ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 89.107.46.3 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70730 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70730/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70730/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70730/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70730/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70730/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70730/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70730 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70730 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
