How to create data structure with key duplicates in php instead of default hash?

Question

I want to create a wrapper class that will use duplicate keys, while hash settings do not allow defaults. The class should use the element overload mechanism introduced in php5, so it will simulate all standard hashes of behavior. For example, I want to have something like

$var => obj( :values_arr -> array(
      obj(:key -> 'mykey', :value -> 'val1'), 
      obj(:key -> 'mykey', :value -> 'val2')
    )
)

If I want to get $ var ['mykey'], it should return an array ('val1', 'val2'), but if I want to extend obj with a new pair of 'mykey' => 'value, I will call

$val['mykey'][] = 'value'

The main idea is that the hash behavior has been saved, and after trying to assign a value to the use of an existing key, it will not be overwritten, but added to the list.

Answer 1

class MultiMap
{
    protected $map = array();

    function __set($key, $val) {
        if(!isset($this->map[$key]))  
           return $this->map[$key] = $val;
        if(!is_array($this->map[$key]))
           $this->map[$key] = array($this->map[$key]);
        $this->map[$key][] = $val;
    }
    function __get($key) {
       return $this->map[$key];
    }
}

$m = new MultiMap;
$m->foo = 1;
$m->foo = 2;
$m->bar = 'zzz';
print_r($m->foo);
print_r($m->bar);

$val['mykey'] = 'value';

ArrayAccess

class MultiHash implements ArrayAccess, IteratorAggregate
{
    protected $data;

    public function offsetGet($offset)
    {
        return $this->data[$offset];
    }
    public function offsetSet($offset, $value)
    {
        if ($offset === null) { // $a[] = ...
            $this->data[] = array($value);
        } else {
            $this->data[$offset][] = $value;
        }
    }
    public function offsetExists($offset)
    {
        return isset($this->data[$offset]);
    }
    public function offsetUnset($offset)
    {
        unset($this->data[$offset]);
    }

    public function getIterator()
    {
        $it = new AppendIterator();
        foreach ($this->data as $key => $values) {
            $it->append(new ConstantKeyArrayIterator($values, 0, $key));
        }
        return $it;
    }
}

class ConstantKeyArrayIterator extends ArrayIterator
{
    protected $key;

    public function __construct($array = array(), $flags = 0, $key = 0)
    {
        parent::__construct($array,$flags);
        $this->key = $key;
    }
    public function key()
    {
        return parent::key() === null ? null : $this->key;
    }
}

IteratorAggregate, .

$test = new MultiHash();
$test[] = 'foo';
$test[] = 'bar';
$test['mykey'] = 'val1';
$test['mykey'] = 'val2';
$test['mykey2'] = 'val3';

echo "mykey: ";
var_dump($test['mykey']);

echo "mykey2: ";
var_dump($test['mykey2']);

echo "iterate:\n";
foreach ($test as $key => $value) {
    echo "$key : $value \n";
}

mykey: array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(4) "val1"
  [1]=>
  string(4) "val2"
}
mykey2: array(1) {
  [0]=>
  string(4) "val3"
}
iterate:
0 : foo 
1 : bar 
mykey : val1 
mykey : val2 
mykey2 : val3
