Question

I need to be able to set my object like this:

$obj->foo = 'bar'; 

then I need to use it as an array like that:

if($obj['foo'] == 'bar'){   //more code here } 

Answer 1

Just add implements ArrayAccess to your class and add the required methods:

• public function offsetExists($offset)
• public function offsetGet($offset)
• public function offsetSet($offset, $value)
• public function offsetUnset($offset)

See http://php.net/manual/en/class.arrayaccess.php
