Nice, but php already has arrays. :|

Michal Kočárek 15 years, 5 months ago  # | flag

Why so much OOP?

// Create new linked list: $list = array();

// Append item... array_push($list, $item); // ...to end of the list array_unshift($list, $item); // ...to begin of the list

// Remove... $item = array_pop($list); // ...last item from the list $item = array_shift($list); // ...first item from the list unset($list[array_search($item, $list)]); // ...specific value unset($list[$i]); $list = array_values($list); // ...specific index

I really do not understand, how this could speed up development/resulting script nor make code more readable...

Gleaning the sample, I first thought to myself, "Wow-- the author shows an exemplary effort in commenting the PHP!".

Further study intrigued me, however wrinkled the brow, for in reckoning some sensible, well structured architecture, I found myself frustrated to learn I'd read the whole bit, but left without realizing the epiphany I felt so sure I might find there.

considering the existing user-feedback, I'm a bit vexed-- wishing to take a closer look at both the sample, and comment #2.

In my experience, the several suggested analogous, built-in functions are some of the greatest tools of PHP. A thorough review of PHP array Functions-- and the Function Reference section of the Manual in general-- has proven to endure as a worthy endeavor. Such practice may lack excitement, but it is nonetheless a fine way to exercise the PHP skill-set, and strengthen one's sensibilities for problem-solving. :-)

Very useful, i like the similarities between php,c and java.
