Structs data type in php?

Question

Can anyone give me example for structs data type in php ? How come there is something like structs in php all of a sudden ?

Answer 1

It seems that the struct datatype is commonly used in SOAP:

var_dump($client->__getTypes());

array(52) {
  [0] =>
  string(43) "struct Bank {\n string Code;\n string Name;\n}"
}

This is not a native PHP datatype!

It seems that the properties of the struct type referred to in SOAP can be accessed as a simple PHP stdClass object:

$some_struct = $client->SomeMethod();
echo 'Name: ' . $some_struct->Name;
