David Reiss commented on THRIFT-342:
------------------------------------

Using array keys as set elements *is* a reliable set construct for ints and 
strings.  We shouldn't break the few cases that already work.

> PHP: can't have sets of complex types

> A setup like this:
> struct alice {
>   1: string bob
> }
> and another like this:
> struct charlie {
>    1: set<alice> david
> }
> causes problems because the generated PHP code looks like:
> ==
>         case 1:
>           if ($ftype == TType::SET) {
>             $this->david = array();
>             $_size0 = 0;
>             $_etype3 = 0;

> Using objects as array keys makes PHP cranky and the values can not be 
> properly set. I think the solution to this is either:
> 1. Document that the PHP bindings do not support sets of complex types. 
> (boooo!)
> 2. Modify the generated code so that the values are stored in array values 
> not keys. (With some additional checks to ensure uniqueness, or perhaps just 
> using spl_object_hash($theObject) as the array key.
> This seems similar to the issues raised in THRIFT-231 and THRIFT-162
>               $this->david[$elem5] = true;
