Why we use ArrayAccess::offsetUnset() instead i hope unset() is enough to use. But php.net stated that:
Note: This method will not be called when type-casting to (unset)
Can anyone tell how we use it, whether it automatically unset the called offset element from the class that implements ArrayAccess interface ?
Reference link http://php.net/manual/en/arrayaccess.offsetunset.php.
Thanks !!!
The offsetUnset()
method is called, when the array access expression is used in the unset()
function like this:
unset($yourSpecialObject['abc']);
However it is not called in the following statements:
$yourSpecialObject['abc'] = null; // offsetSet() is called instead
$yourSpecialObject['abc'] = (unset)'abc'; // offsetSet() is called instead
(unset)$yourSpecialObject['abc']; // offsetGet() is called instead
