ArrayAccess::offsetExists

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

ArrayAccess::offsetExists — Whether an offset exists

Descrizione

public ArrayAccess::offsetExists(mixed $offset): bool

Whether or not an offset exists.

This method is executed when using isset() or empty() on objects implementing ArrayAccess.

Nota:
When using empty() ArrayAccess::offsetGet() will be called and checked if empty only if ArrayAccess::offsetExists() returns true.

Elenco dei parametri

offset: An offset to check for.

Valori restituiti

Restituisce true in caso di successo, false in caso di fallimento.

Nota:
The return value will be casted to bool if non-boolean was returned.

Example #1 ArrayAccess::offsetExists() example

<?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"]));
?>

Il precedente esempio visualizzerà qualcosa simile 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)

Note that even though isset/empty works on classes implementing ArrayAccess, array_key_exists does not. At least not in PHP 5.3.

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);
}
?>
