PHP 8.4.0 RC2 available for testing

The SplObjectStorage class

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Giriş

The SplObjectStorage class provides a map from objects to data or, by ignoring data, an object set. This dual purpose can be useful in many cases involving the need to uniquely identify objects.

Sınıf Sözdizimi

class SplObjectStorage implements Countable, Iterator, Serializable, ArrayAccess {
/* Yöntemler */
public addAll(SplObjectStorage $storage): int
public attach(object $object, mixed $info = null): void
public contains(object $object): bool
public count(int $mode = COUNT_NORMAL): int
public current(): object
public detach(object $object): void
public getHash(object $object): string
public getInfo(): mixed
public key(): int
public next(): void
public offsetExists(object $object): bool
public offsetGet(object $object): mixed
public offsetSet(object $object, mixed $info = null): void
public offsetUnset(object $object): void
public removeAll(SplObjectStorage $storage): int
public rewind(): void
public serialize(): string
public setInfo(mixed $info): void
public unserialize(string $data): void
public valid(): bool
}

Örnekler

Örnek 1 SplObjectStorage as a set

<?php
// As an object set
$s = new SplObjectStorage();

$o1 = new stdClass;
$o2 = new stdClass;
$o3 = new stdClass;

$s->attach($o1);
$s->attach($o2);

var_dump($s->contains($o1));
var_dump($s->contains($o2));
var_dump($s->contains($o3));

$s->detach($o2);

var_dump($s->contains($o1));
var_dump($s->contains($o2));
var_dump($s->contains($o3));
?>

Yukarıdaki örneğin çıktısı:

bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(false)

Örnek 2 SplObjectStorage as a map

<?php
// As a map from objects to data
$s = new SplObjectStorage();

$o1 = new stdClass;
$o2 = new stdClass;
$o3 = new stdClass;

$s[$o1] = "data for object 1";
$s[$o2] = array(1,2,3);

if (isset(
$s[$o2])) {
var_dump($s[$o2]);
}
?>

Yukarıdaki örneğin çıktısı:

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  int(1)
  [1]=>
  int(2)
  [2]=>
  int(3)
}

Note some inconsistent/surprising behavior in SplObjectStorage to preserve backwards compatibility. You can't properly use foreach with key/value syntax.

<?php
$spl
= new SplObjectStorage ();
$keyForA = new StdClass();
$keyForB = new StdClass();
$spl[$keyForA] = 'value a';
$spl[$keyForB] = 'value b';
foreach (
$spl as $key => $value)
{
// $key is NOT an object, $value is!
// Must use standard array access to get strings.
echo $spl[$value] . "\n"; // prints "value a", then "value b"
}
// it may be clearer to use this form of foreach:
foreach ($spl as $key)
{
// $key is an object.
// Use standard array access to get values.
echo $spl[$key] . "\n"; // prints "value a", then "value b"
}
?>

SplObjectStorage class can be nicely used in Observer pattern, for example:

<?php
class Subject implements \SplSubject
{
private
$observers;

public function
__construct()
{
$this->observers = new \SplObjectStorage;
}

public function
attach(\SplObserver $observer)
{
$this->observers->attach($observer);
}

public function
detach(\SplObserver $observer)
{
$this->observers->detach($observer);
}

public function
notify()
{
foreach (
$this->observers as $observer) {
$observer->update($this);
}
}
}
?>

Keep in mind that foreach() will copy your array before iterating, SplObjectStorage does not. If you have a sub call within an iteration that also calls foreach() on the object storage again, the iterator position collides!

To be safe use:
<?php
foreach(clone $myStorage as $obj) {

}
?>

Please note that SplObjectStorage has a Bug introduced with 5.4.0, breaking object lookup in cloned instances of derived classes that overwrite getHash().

This is a confirmed Bug: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67582

Example:
<?php
class MyObjectStorage extends SplObjectStorage {
// Overwrite getHash() with just some (working) test-method
public function getHash($object) { return get_class($object); }
}

class
TestObject {}

$list = new MyObjectStorage(); // No issues if using "new SplObjectStorage()"
$list->attach(new TestObject());

foreach(
$list as $x) var_dump($list->offsetExists($x)); // TRUE

$list2 = clone $list;
foreach(
$list2 as $x) var_dump($list2->offsetExists($x)); // FALSE

<?php
/**

*/
$entity1 = new stdClass();
$entity2 = new stdClass();
$entities = [];
$entities[spl_object_hash($entity1)] = $entity1;
$entities[spl_object_hash($entity2)] = $entity2;

For anyone having issues with SplObjectStorages containing corrupt member variables after garbage collection (FatalErrorException after serializing): we used following fix to great effect
<?php

class FixedSplObjectStorage extends SplObjectStorage
{

public function
serialize()
{
$goodPortion = 'N;;m:a:0:{}';
$startKey = 'N;;m:a:';

$serialized = parent::serialize();

$startPos = strpos($serialized, $startKey);

if (
$startPos !== false) {
$serialized = substr_replace($serialized, $goodPortion, $startPos, -1);

}

return
$serialized;

}
}

I needed to merge SplObjectStorages.
<?php
// As an object set
$SplObjectStorage_1 = new SplObjectStorage();

$object1 = new StdClass;
$object1->attr = 'obj 1';
$object2 = new StdClass;
$object2->attr = 'obj 2';
$object3 = new StdClass;
$object3->attr = 'obj 3';

$SplObjectStorage_1->attach($object1);
$SplObjectStorage_1->attach($object2);
$SplObjectStorage_1->attach($object3);

// Another one object set
$SplObjectStorage_2 = new SplObjectStorage();

$object4 = new StdClass;
$object4->attr = 'obj 4';
$object5 = new StdClass;
$object5->attr = 'obj 5';
$object6 = new StdClass;
$object6->attr = 'obj 6';

$SplObjectStorage_2->attach($object4);
$SplObjectStorage_2->attach($object5);
$SplObjectStorage_2->attach($object6);

/**
* Merge SplObjectStorage
*
* @param how many SplObjectStorage params as you want
* @return SplObjectStorage
*/
function mergeSplObjectStorage() {

$buffer = new SplObjectStorage();

if(
func_num_args() > 0 ) {
$args = func_get_args();
foreach (
$args as $objectStorage) {
foreach(
$objectStorage as $object) {
if(
is_object( $object ) ) {
$buffer->attach($object);
}
}
}
}
else{
return
FALSE;
}
return
$buffer;
}

$merge = mergeSplObjectStorage($SplObjectStorage_1, $SplObjectStorage_2);

?>
<?php
echo $merge->count();
?>
Will output :
6

<?php
$merge
->rewind();
while(
$merge->valid()) {
$object = $merge->current();
var_dump($object);
$merge->next();
}
?>
Will ouput :
object(stdClass)#2 (1) {
["attr"]=>
string(5) "obj 1"
}
object(stdClass)#3 (1) {
["attr"]=>
string(5) "obj 2"
}
object(stdClass)#4 (1) {
["attr"]=>
string(5) "obj 3"
}
object(stdClass)#6 (1) {
["attr"]=>
string(5) "obj 4"
}
object(stdClass)#7 (1) {
["attr"]=>
string(5) "obj 5"
}
object(stdClass)#8 (1) {
["attr"]=>
string(5) "obj 6"
}

My two cents.

Do not use SplObjectStorage::detach when forach'ing over items in the storage as this skips the second (and only second) element.

Example:

<?php

class A {
public
$i;
public function
__construct($i) {
$this->i = $i;
}
}

$container = new \SplObjectStorage();

$container->attach(new A(1));
$container->attach(new A(2));
$container->attach(new A(3));
$container->attach(new A(4));
$container->attach(new A(5));

foreach (
$container as $item) {
echo
$item->i . "\n";
$container->detach($item);
}
echo
"== Left in storage ==\n";
foreach (
$container as $item) {
echo
$item->i . "\n";
}
/* Outputs:
1
3
4
5
== Left in storage ==
2
*/

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"

if you're looking for a ResourceStorage, check https://gist.github.com/divinity76/b8041e073b74bdeab562a075fc94217f

I rewrote some scripts and changed object storage with arrays to SplObjectStorage. At some point I needed support of array_rand() but I did not find a function to return a random attached object of an SplObjectStorage object.

So here is my solution for random access to SplObjectStorage:

<?php
$o1
= new StdClass;
$o2 = new StdClass;
$s = new SplObjectStorage;
$s->attach($o1);
$s->attach($o2);

$random = rand(0,$s->count()-1);
$s->rewind();
for(
$i=0;$i<$random;$i++) {
$s->next();
}
var_dump($s->current());
?>
