• PHP 5.6 or above; version 7.0 is recommended

Getting Started

Collections

Collections is the base concept of this package. Each collection wraps an array into a class with methods to handle its elements in a normalized way. Both concrete and abstract classes are provided.

// index.php
require('path/to/vendor/autoload.php');

use Phower\Arrays\Collection;

$collection = new Collection();

Please review Collection Interface for more details on available methods.

Stacks

Stacks are collections where elements are always added to the top of the internal array. This strategy allows a LIFO (Last In-First Out) handling.

use Phower\Arrays\Stack;

$stack = new Stack();

Please review Stack Interface for more details on available methods.

Queues

Queues are collections with the ability to enqueue/dequeue elements. While enqueue is similiar to add method, dequeue always remove the returned element from the queue.

use Phower\Arrays\Queue;

$queue = new Queue();

Please review Queue Interface for more details on available methods.
