note 126098 added to class.splobjectstorage

If you assign an array() to an object in SplObjectStorage and then try to modify its individual elements, you'll probably find it doesn't work. Instead, you can use ArrayObject(), which will emulate array behaviour. <?php $storage = new SplObjectStorage(); $obj1 = new StdClass(); $obj2 = new StdClass(); $storage[$obj1] = array(); $storage[$obj2] = new ArrayObject(); $storage[$obj1]['person'] = 'Jana'; // Won't work (PHP Notice: Indirect modification of overloaded element of SplObjectStorage has no effect) $storage[$obj2]['person'] = 'Jana'; // Works var_dump($storage[$obj1]['person']); // NULL (PHP Notice: Undefined index: person) var_dump($storage[$obj2]['person']); // string(4) "Jana" ?> ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 45.112.85.242 (proxied: 212.11.118.132) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/class.splobjectstorage.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/126098 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126098/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126098/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126098/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126098/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126098/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126098/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126098 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/126098 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
