PHP SPL Data structures Complete Reference

0 0 3 minutes read

Standard PHP Library (SPL) the collection of standard data structures. The SPL data structure grouped the contents according to their implementation.

Example: Below programs illustrate the SplDoublyLinkedList::offsetGet() function in PHP:

PHP

<?php 
  
// Declare an empty SplDoublyLinkedList 
$list = new \SplDoublyLinkedList; 
  
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::add() function to 
// add elements to the SplDoublyLinkedList 
$list->add(0, 30); 
$list->add(1, 20); 
$list->add(2, 30); 
$list->add(3, "Geeks"); 
$list->add(4, 'G'); 
$list->rewind(); 
  
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::offsetGet() function 
// to check index exist or not 
var_dump($list->offsetGet(2)); 
  
var_dump($list->offsetGet(3)); 
  
?>

Output:

int(30)
string(5) "Geeks"
