Working with Arrays
Arrays are stored in HashTable strucures, and have the zval type IS_ARRAY. The API functions for creating, destroying and manipulating these structures as variables are documented here and can be found in Zend/zend_API.h
| Prototype | Description |
|---|---|
void array_init(zval* pzval) |
initializes the variable as a HashTable, setting type and appropriate destructor function for the HashTable |
void array_init_size(zval* pzval) |
initializes the variable as array_init with a minimum of size buckets |
Note:
Do not squint too hard looking for array_destroy: to destroy a variable array you should call
zval_ptr_dtoron the variable, if there are no other references to the variable it will result in the array being destroyed.

int add_assoc_zval(zval* pzval, const char* key, zval* value) |
int add_assoc_zval_ex(zval* pzval, const char* key, uint klen, zval* value) |
Note:
add_*_string functions that accept a parameter named duplicate, will duplicate the string with
estrndupwhenduplicateis true
Note:
add_*_zval functions do not adjust the refcount of the
valueparameter
To perform more advanced operations on array variables we must use the HashTable API directly.
