I’m sure I read a while back about a new feature of PHP that was either a new magic method or a new interface so that you could implement Arrayable methods.
eg
interface Arrayable
{
public function toArray();
}
Was I imagining it?
Yes.
There is no interface (PHP 5.4 or otherwise) within PHP for handling casting to an array.
PHP 5.4.0 introduced the
JsonSerializableinterface, perhaps you’re thinking of that?There’s also a draft RFC (one of several related) that suggests a
__toArray()method; see Request for Comments: Scalar Type Casting Magic Methods
