# The SplObjectStorage class

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0)

## Introduction

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.

## Class synopsis

SplObjectStorage implements Countable , Iterator , Serializable , ArrayAccess {
/* Methods */
public void addAll ( SplObjectStorage `$storage` )
public void attach ( object `$object` [, mixed `$data` = `NULL` ] )
public bool contains ( object `$object` )
public int count ( void )
public object current ( void )
public void detach ( object `$object` )
public string getHash ( object `$object` )
public mixed getInfo ( void )
public int key ( void )
public void next ( void )
public bool offsetExists ( object `$object` )
public mixed offsetGet ( object `$object` )
public void offsetSet ( object `$object` [, mixed `$data` = `NULL` ] )
public void offsetUnset ( object `$object` )
public void removeAll ( SplObjectStorage `$storage` )
public void removeAllExcept ( SplObjectStorage `$storage` )
public void rewind ( void )
public string serialize ( void )
public void setInfo ( mixed `$data` )
public void unserialize ( string `$serialized` )
public bool valid ( void )
}

## Examples

Example #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));
?>`

The above example will output:

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

Example #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]);
}
?>`

The above example will output:

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