How does PHP array_keys do the search for value?
Example:
$array2 = array("xyz", "xyz", "abc", "abc", "xyz", "xyz", "text", "abc", "text");
print_r(array_keys($array2,"abc"));
Since they are key,value pairs. I am guessing PHP to do a search based on hash rather than iterate through each of the key-pairs in the array.
Any 'clarity thoughts' on this?
Question inspired by this question: How to get the keys of empty elements in an array if the corresponding element in a similar-sized array is a number (without iteration)?
回答1:
In the php source, they iterate through each key and value, one by one. https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/standard/array.c#L2439

Please see the array_keys definition, take note also for the comments which explain it pretty well:
Return just the keys from the input array, optionally only for the specified search_value
and later on:
Go through input array and add keys to the return array
The definition as follows for PHP 5.3 on ext/standard/array.c:
2427 /* {{{ proto array array_keys(array input [, mixed search_value[, bool strict]])
2428 Return just the keys from the input array, optionally only for the specified search_value */

2435 *new_val; /* New value */
2436 int add_key; /* Flag to indicate whether a key should be added */
2437 char *string_key; /* String key */

The search that is performed is also explained on the PHP manual page for array_keysDocs:
If the optional search_value is specified, then only the keys for that value are returned. Otherwise, all the keys from the input are returned.
See also the $strict parameter to influence how values are compared:
Determines if strict comparison (===) should be used during the search.
The two types of comparison == (Equal) and === (Identical) are documented as well.
回答3:
I suspect this to be not so easy:
- If you do NOT give the last parameter "strict" as true, PHP might need to walk the array, along the way converting values to a compareable type.
- If you DO give "strict" as true, it might also be necessary to iterate the array to exclude wrong types
