Generic arrays in PHP

Read Original

This technical article discusses how to simulate generic arrays in PHP, which does not natively support generics. It presents two approaches: one using inheritance from ArrayObject with type hinting for specific classes, and a more flexible method using a custom GenericArrayObject class with a configurable validation function to enforce type constraints on array elements.
