Queue is a special first-in-first-out linear table that can only perform deletion operations on the front end (commonly called dequeuing) and insertion operations on the backend (commonly called enqueuing). The end that performs the deletion operation is called the head of the queue, and the end that performs the insertion operation is called the tail of the queue. Queue organizes data according to the first-in-first-out or last-in-last-out principle. When there are no elements in the queue, it is called an empty queue.

Sample code 1
$queue = new Queue();
$queue->enqueue(1)->enqueue(2)->enqueue(3)->enqueue(4)->enqueue(5)->enqueue(6);
echo '
', print_r($queue->getQueue(), TRUE), '';
', print_r($queue->getQueue(), TRUE), '';
Note: PHP array functions already have queue-like functions: array_unshift (enqueue) and array_shift (dequeue).
