SplObjectStorage now implements a getHash($obj) method, so you can extend SplObjectStorage and overwrite that method to suit your needs.

While I currently do this by jumping through a few hoops, this will be a welcome addition. A __hashCode() magic method can accomplish this easily. Test script: --------------- Pseudo-code: <? class StockSecurity { public $exchange; public $ticker; public function __hashCode() { return $this->exchange . ":" . $this->ticker; } } $d = new SplObjectStorage(); $s = new StockSecurity( 'NASDAQ', 'GOOG' ); $d->attach( $s, getStockQuote( $s ) ); // later on, in a different method $s = new StockSecurity( 'NASDAQ', 'GOOG' ); $quote = $d[ $s ]; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51345&edit=1
