Hello everyone
I've been a reader of internals for some years and would like to join
the round.
Unfortunately I have no experience implementing changes to the PHP
source itself. I hope to find the time to work my way into php-src and
hopefully contribute some RFCs and PRs in the future.
Is
e.g. `$x = object{key: object{'escaped-literal': $v2 }};`
(equivalent to `$x = (object)['key' => (object)['escaped-literal' => $v2]];`)
For example, in JS, non-string key literals are surrounded in `[]` to
unambiguously reference them.
Here, that could be `object{[$key]: $value, [MY_CONST]: $oth
I don't follow; is the resulting JSON different if you cast to
object, or is there some other reason you prefer an object over using
an associative array directly?
The by-reference semantics of objects vs arrays in PHP.
*shrug* If you want things to be mutable between functions, stick an & in
