Re: PECL extension for TypeKey Authentication

Almost everything you need to know about array handling is covered in Zend/zend_hash.h The specific functions you'll be most interrested in for associative arrays are: zend_hash_exists() <--- does a particular key exist in an array zend_hash_find() <---- actually get the data associated with a key Note: If you're going to get the data anyway, you might as well use find() and not bother with exists() zend_hash_add() <--- Add an element zend_hash_del() <---- Delete an element However you'll also be interrested in the array_init(), and add_*() macros which make creating hashes of zvals easier to approach.
