People often ask me, if a PHP array is accessed using foreach, is the order of traversal fixed? In what order?
For example:

<ol style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style-type: none;">
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="sh_symbol" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><?php </span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">

To fully understand this issue, I think first of all, everyone should understand the internal implementation structure of PHP arrays...PHP arraysIn PHP, arrays are implemented using a HASH structure (HashTable). PHP uses some mechanisms to make it possible Adding and deleting arrays is achieved with O(1) time complexity, and supports both linear traversal and random access. Also discussed in previous articles, PHP's HASH algorithm, Based on this, we will make further extensions. Before getting to know HashTable, let us first take a look at the structure definition of HashTable. I have added comments for everyone to understand:

We noticed that the last element, this is a flexible array technique, which can save memory and facilitate initialization. Friends who are interested can google flexible array.There are a couple of things it could refer to. The only place I've seen thatprecisewording used much is C99 though.A flexible array member is the official C99 name for what used to (usually) be called the "struct hack". The basic idea is that you define a struct something like this:struct x { int a; // whatever members you want here. size_t size; int x[]; // no size, last member only }; This is used primarily (or exclusively) with dynamic allocation. When you want to allocate an object of this type, you

How does PHP type hinting work, including scalar types, return types, union types, and nullable types?Apr 17, 2025 am 12:25 AM

PHP type prompts to improve code quality and readability. 1) Scalar type tips: Since PHP7.0, basic data types are allowed to be specified in function parameters, such as int, float, etc. 2) Return type prompt: Ensure the consistency of the function return value type. 3) Union type prompt: Since PHP8.0, multiple types are allowed to be specified in function parameters or return values. 4) Nullable type prompt: Allows to include null values and handle functions that may return null values.
