Does PHP have built-in data structures?

Question

I\'m looking at the PHP Manual, and I\'m not seeing a section on data structures that most languages have, such as lists and sets. Am I just blind or does PHP not have anything

Answer 1

C languages will allow creating a structure and then filling it like a string (char/byte) buffer. Once it's filled the code accesses the buffer via the structure members. It's really nice to parse structured (database,image,etc.) files that way. I don't think you can do that with PHP structures - or am I (hopefully) wrong.

Ok - well PHP does have unpack and pack - functionally the same, but not as elegant.
