HashMap

HashMaps are represented as associative arrays in PHP.

Converting from a zval to a HashMap is valid when the key is a String, and the value implements FromZval. The key and values are copied into Rust types before being inserted into the HashMap. If one of the key-value pairs has a numeric key, the key is represented as a string before being inserted.

Converting from a HashMap to a zval is valid when the key implements AsRef<str>, and the value implements IntoZval.

Rust example

#![cfg_attr(windows, feature(abi_vectorcall))]
extern crate ext_php_rs;
use ext_php_rs::prelude::*;
use std::collections::HashMap;
#[php_function]
pub fn test_hashmap(hm: HashMap<String, String>) -> Vec<String> {
    for (k, v) in hm.iter() {
        println!("k: {} v: {}", k, v);
    }

    hm.into_iter()
        .map(|(_, v)| v)
        .collect::<Vec<_>>()
}
fn main() {}

PHP example

<?php

var_dump(test_hashmap([
    'hello' => 'world',
    'rust' => 'php',
    'okk',
]));

Output:

k: hello v: world
k: rust v: php
k: 0 v: okk
array(3) {
    [0] => string(5) "world",
    [1] => string(3) "php",
    [2] => string(3) "okk"
}
