Note that even though isset/empty works on classes implementing ArrayAccess, array_key_exists does not. At least not in PHP 5.3.
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
ArrayAccess::offsetExists — Comprobar si existe un índice
Comprueba si existe o no un índice.
Este método se ejecuta cuando se utilizan las funciones isset() o empty() sobre los objetos que implementan ArrayAccess.
Nota:
Cuando se utiliza empty(), ArrayAccess::offsetGet() será invocada para comprobar si está vacío solamente si ArrayAccess::offsetExists() devuelve
true
.
offset
El índice a comprobar.
Devuelve true
en caso de éxito o false
en caso de error.
Nota:
El valor de retorno se debe convertir a bool si no devuelve un valor boleano.
Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de ArrayAccess::offsetExists()
<?php
class obj implements ArrayAccess {
public function offsetSet($offset, $value): void {
var_dump(__METHOD__);
}
public function offsetExists($var): bool {
var_dump(__METHOD__);
if ($var == "foobar") {
return true;
}
return false;
}
public function offsetUnset($var): void {
var_dump(__METHOD__);
}
#[\ReturnTypeWillChange]
public function offsetGet($var) {
var_dump(__METHOD__);
return "value";
}
}
$obj = new obj;
echo "Runs obj::offsetExists()\n";
var_dump(isset($obj["foobar"]));
echo "\nRuns obj::offsetExists() and obj::offsetGet()\n";
var_dump(empty($obj["foobar"]));
echo "\nRuns obj::offsetExists(), *not* obj:offsetGet() as there is nothing to get\n";
var_dump(empty($obj["foobaz"]));
?>
El resultado del ejemplo sería algo similar a:
Runs obj::offsetExists() string(17) "obj::offsetExists" bool(true) Runs obj::offsetExists() and obj::offsetGet() string(17) "obj::offsetExists" string(14) "obj::offsetGet" bool(false) Runs obj::offsetExists(), *not* obj:offsetGet() as there is nothing to get string(17) "obj::offsetExists" bool(true)

It seems that in PHP 7, if this method returns FALSE then offsetGet() will return NULL (in PHP 5, offsetGet() didn't first check what value offsetExists() returned). So if your code suddenly stops working when you upgrade to PHP 7 make sure that offsetExists() returns a sensible value!
If you care about key-strictness, you may need to use an alternative solution (maybe overriding offsetExists() in subclass(es)). So, offsetExists() acts like array_key_exists() and does not handle the key types. Here;
<?php
$array = ['one', 'two', 3.=>'boom!'];
$arrayObject = new ArrayObject($array);
$key = '3';
var_dump(array_key_exists($key, $array)); // bool(true)
var_dump(in_array($key, array_keys($array), true)); // bool(false)
var_dump($arrayObject->offsetExists($key)); // bool(true)
var_dump(in_array($key, array_keys($arrayObject->getArrayCopy()), true)); // bool(false)
// @override;
public function offsetExists($key)
{
// make a strict check
return in_array($key, array_keys($this->getArrayCopy()), true);
}
?>
