Another advantage arrays currently have over anonymous objects is destructuring - if this was (somehow?) also made possible with objects, this would be the best of both worlds. (Returning multiple named values from a function is also mentioned in the use-cases of the RFC.) I know this works: ``` [ "foo" => $foo, "baz" => $baz ] = (array) $object; ``` (Alternatively also using get_object_vars() instead of casting.) But we both have to convert to an intermediate array again, and lose the type information of the object (eg. for static analysis), so this could also be made more ergonomic if we want to go down the anonymous object route. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
