Recursive array access for PHP5.6+
==================================

[](#recursive-array-access-for-php56)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/668e8c17237d66e30bd580d3fef1ae6120e7efa4586b600947abfb1f2d529411/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f726b72782f7068702d7265637572736976652d61727261792d6163636573732e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/rkrx/php-recursive-array-access)

Access to n-dimensional arrays via a simple interface.

Why, what?
----------

[](#why-what)

Example:

```
// PHP5.4-style array syntax
$array = [];
$data = new ArrayPath\Map($array);
$data->set(['a', 'b', 'c'], 'test'); // equals $data['a']['b']['c'] = 'test';
print_r($data->asArray());

echo $data->getString(['a', 'b', 'd'], 'fallback'); // -> "fallback"
print_r($data->getArray(['a', 'b', 'd'], ['fallback'])); // -> ["fallback"]
```

You can also use strings as a path:

```
$array = [];
$data = new StringPath\Map($array);
$data->set('a.b.c', 'test'); // equals $data['a']['b']['c'] = 'test';
print_r($data->asArray());

echo $data->getString('a.b.d', 'fallback'); // -> "fallback"
print_r($data->getArray('a.b.d', ['fallback'])); // -> ["fallback"]
```
