Get Instance ID of an Object in PHP

Question

I\'ve learn a while ago on StackOverflow that we can get the \"instance ID\" of any resource, for instance:

var_dump(intval(curl_init()));  // int(2)
var_dum         


        

Answer 1

Have a look at spl_object_hash(). Usage example:

$id = spl_object_hash($object);

Note that you'll need PHP 5 >= 5.2.0 for that to work.
