PHP SPL Reference Documentation

Question

I'm pretty green at all the new features implemented with the PHP SPL, from this very long list all I've played with was with the RecursiveDirectoryIterator class, I don't even fully understand it I just saw an example and hacked my way through it.

I've come to love the PHP documentation, but the lack of documentation on these new and supposedly cool features is letting me disappointed, Most classes don't even have a introductory text!

I feel like a child who was given a chocolate but isn't allowed to unwrap the outside paper to eat it.

Where can I find documentation, tutorials, examples, books, etc on SPL that gets me up to speed?

Answer 1

This is extremely useful stuff on SPL !

Answer 2

We could do with some more volunteers to flesh out the SPL documentation, if you'd like to help out then do let me know!

As for other useful places to look Sarfraz Ahmed's link is one, and I'd also like to direct you to:

• A series of SPL articles from Lorenzo Alberton
• The old doxygen documentation (the secret SPL bible)
• A bunch of presentations from talks/conferences
