This function does not modify the current vector and returns an array, and the order of elements in arrays is the same as the vector.

public Ds\Vector::toArray(): array

Parameters

Return value

This function returns an array containing all values in the same order as vector.

Example 1

The following program demonstrates the usage of the PHP Ds\Vector::toArray() function −

<?php 
   $vector = new \Ds\Vector([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
   echo("The original vector: \n"); 
   print_r($vector);
   echo("An array elements: \n");
   print_r($vector->toArray());
?>

Output

After executing the above program, the following output will be displayed −

The original vector:
Ds\Vector Object
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 2
    [2] => 3
    [3] => 4
    [4] => 5
)
An array elements:

)

Example 2

Following is another example of the PHP Ds\Vector::toArray() function. We use this function to convert this vector in an array (["Tutorials", "Point", "Tutorix"]) −

<?php 
   $vector = new \Ds\Vector(["Tutorials", "Point", "Tutorix"]);
   echo("The original vector: \n"); 
   print_r($vector);
   echo("An array elements: \n"); 
   print_r($vector->toArray()); 
?>

Output

The above program produces the following output −

The original vector:
Ds\Vector Object
(
    [0] => Tutorials
    [1] => Point
    [2] => Tutorix
)
An array elements:
Array
(
    [0] => Tutorials
    [1] => Point
    [2] => Tutorix
)
