The SplFixedArray class

INTRODUCTION

	The SplFixedArray class provides the main functionalities of array. The main differences between a SplFixedArray and a normal PHP array is
       that the SplFixedArray is of fixed length and allows only integers within the range as indexes. The advantage is that it  allows  a  faster
       array implementation.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      SplFixedArray usage example

	      <?php
	      // Initialize the array with a fixed length
	      $array = new SplFixedArray(5);

	      $array[1] = 2;
	      $array[4] = "foo";

	      var_dump($array[0]); // NULL
	      var_dump($array[1]); // int(2)

	      var_dump($array["4"]); // string(3) "foo"

	      // Increase the size of the array to 10
	      $array->setSize(10);

	      $array[9] = "asdf";

	      // Shrink the array to a size of 2
	      $array->setSize(2);

	      // The following lines throw a RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range
	      try {
		  var_dump($array["non-numeric"]);
	      } catch(RuntimeException $re) {
		  echo "RuntimeException: ".$re->getMessage()."
";
	      }

	      try {
		  var_dump($array[-1]);
	      } catch(RuntimeException $re) {
		  echo "RuntimeException: ".$re->getMessage()."
";
	      }

	      try {
		  var_dump($array[5]);
	      } catch(RuntimeException $re) {
		  echo "RuntimeException: ".$re->getMessage()."
";
	      }
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      NULL
	      int(2)
	      string(3) "foo"
	      RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range
	      RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range
	      RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range
