QuickHashIntStringHash::update

(PECL quickhash >= Unknown)

QuickHashIntStringHash::updateThis method updates an entry in the hash with a new value

Description

public QuickHashIntStringHash::update(int $key, string $value): bool

This method updates an entry with a new value, and returns whether the entry was update. If there are duplicate keys, only the first found element will get an updated value. Use QuickHashIntStringHash::CHECK_FOR_DUPES during hash creation to prevent duplicate keys from being part of the hash.

Parameters

key

The key of the entry to update.

value

The new value for the entry. If a non-string is passed, it will be converted to a string automatically if possible.

Return Values

true when the entry was found and updated, and false if the entry was not part of the hash already.

Examples

Example #1 QuickHashIntStringHash::update() example

<?php
$hash
->add( 161803398, "--" );
$hash->add( 314159265, "a lot" );

echo
$hash->get( 161803398 ), "\n";
echo
$hash->get( 314159265 ), "\n";

var_dump( $hash->update( 314159265, "a lot plus one" ) );
var_dump( $hash->update( 314159999, "a lot plus one" ) );

echo
$hash->get( 161803398 ), "\n";
echo
$hash->get( 314159265 ), "\n";
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

--
a lot
bool(true)
bool(false)
--
a lot plus one
