I'm searching to the best & most elegant way to have, in symfony2 project, functions available at global scope, ie, you can access everywhere in the project.
Firstly, a requirement/function example: I need to merge various "number-keyed" arrays (eg [4=>"foo", 7=>"bar"]) maintaing the keys, so php array_merge function isn't valid for me. I found this function at stackoverflow ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10083158/how-to-merge-two-php-doctrine-2-arraycollection) function array_merge_maintain_keys() { $args = func_get_args(); $result = array(); foreach ( $args as &$array ) { foreach ( $array as $key => &$value ) { $result[$key] = $value; } } return $result; } Some ideas: -A Trait (php 5.4): I don't like this, code is reusable, but isn't elegant -A php extension: too much effort to add an stupid function -Add an include_once at the end of app/autoload.php pointing to a plain php file with that kind of simple function(s) -A class static methods, something like \Acme\Utils::array_merge_mantain_keys(); -A service is another option, but if I need to call that function from an entity I would have to inject it previously (I hate this) Which would be the best & the most elegant solution? -- If you want to report a vulnerability issue on symfony, please send it to security at symfony-project.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony developers" group.
