note 57663 added to ref.spl

Something to note that, at least to me, seems pretty important and is not entirely clear in the documentation is the fact that the ArrayObject class supports get/set on uni-dimensional keys and get ONLY on *passed* multi-dimensional keys/paths (see source below). If you, like me, need to support array accesss overloading for multi-dimensional data, you will need to derive from ArrayObject and overide the ArrayAccess interface methods to "walk" passed data and convert embedded arrays to objects of some kind... Reference Bug 34816 @ http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34816. Illustration of the issue: $a = array( "test" => array( "one" => "dunno", "two" => array( "peekabo" => "do you see me?", "anyone" => array("there") ) ) ); $oArray = new ArrayObject($a); var_dump($oArray); $oArray["three"] = "No problems here."; echo "\n\\test\\one == " . $oArray["test"]["one"] . "\n\n"; // NEITHER of the two below will work! $oArray["test"]["one"] = "Yes I do!"; $oArray["test"]["yes"] = array( "hello" => "Goodbye!" ); var_dump($oArray); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.spl.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57663 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57663&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57663&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57663&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57663&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57663&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57663&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57663&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57663&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
