SplDoublyLinkedList

SPLStack

SPLQueue

SplPriorityQueue

SPL Stack

$stack = new SplStack();

$stack->push('a');
$stack->push('b');
$stack->push('c');

echo $stack->pop();
echo $stack->pop();
echo $stack->pop();

Magic Static Calls

Magic Calls

class Foo
{
public function __call($aName, $aParameters)
{
var_dump($aName);
var_dump($aParameters);
}
}

$foo = new Foo();
$foo->test('something');

Magic Calls

class Foo
{
public function __call($aName, $aParameters)
{
var_dump($aName);
var_dump($aParameters);
}
}

$foo = new Foo();
$foo->test('something');

->

string(4) "test"
array(1) {
[0]=> string(9) "something"
}

Magic Calls

Strict standards: Non-static method Foo::test() should not be called statically

Magic Static Calls

class Foo
{
public static function __callStatic($aName, $aParameters)
{
...
}
}

Foo::doSomething(...);
