Hi,
For now you can only index an array using a scalar type or a string.
Is there some rfc or work going on to enlarge the possibility so that it is
possible to have some other object like:
- closure
- object
- etc.
Thanks

If an object implements a __toString() magic method, then it can work ...
<?php
class randomizer {
public function __toString() {
return (string)mt_rand();
}
}
$randomizer = new randomizer;
$array = array (
"$randomizer" => 'First',
"$randomizer" => 'Second',
"$randomizer" => 'Third',
"$randomizer" => 'Fourth',
);
print_r($array);
?>
outputs ...
Array
(
[1365443950] => First
[1235256771] => Second
[520059180] => Third
[486985268] => Fourth
)
Well that is not the expected behavior since if you call array_keys you won't get the object.
