Efficiency of PHP arrays cast as objects?
- by keithjgrant
From what I understand, PHP objects are generally much faster than arrays. How is that efficiency affected if I'm typecasting to define stdClass objects on the fly:
$var = (object)array('one' => 1, 'two' => 2);
If the code doing this is deeply-nested, will I be better off explicitly defining $var as an objects instead:
$var = new stdClass();
$var->one = 1;
$var->two = 2;
Is the difference negligible since I'll then be accessing $var as an object from there on, either way?
