Question

I can see in PHP 5.3.2 there is an ArrayObject class. Is it possible to declare a new object named Array

that extends the ArrayObject. But Im not sure if ‘Array‘ is a reserved keyword or should I use my own prefix i.e XArray(), MyArray etc…

What I would like to have is

class Array extends ArrayObject {

...my own code

}

Answer 1

All you’d have to do is try to run:

<?php class Array {}

And you’d see:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'Array' 

So the answer is, no, you cannot. You’ll need to use a different name.
