\Zend_Stdlib_PriorityQueue
Re-usable, serializable priority queue implementation
SplPriorityQueue acts as a heap; on iteration, each item is removed from the queue. If you wish to re-use such a queue, you need to clone it first. This makes for some interesting issues if you wish to delete items from the queue, or, as already stated, iterate over it multiple times.
This class aggregates items for the queue itself, but also composes an "inner" iterator in the form of an SplPriorityQueue object for performing the actual iteration.

array $items = array()
Actual items aggregated in the priority queue.
Each item is an array with keys "data" and "priority".

Methods


contains(mixed $datum) : bool
Does the queue contain the given datum?
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$datum | mixed |
Type | Description |
---|---|
bool |


getIterator() : \SplPriorityQueue
Retrieve the inner iterator
SplPriorityQueue acts as a heap, which typically implies that as items are iterated, they are also removed. This does not work for situations where the queue may be iterated multiple times. As such, this class aggregates the values, and also injects an SplPriorityQueue. This method retrieves the inner queue object, and clones it for purposes of iteration.
Type | Description |
---|---|
\SplPriorityQueue |


getQueue() : \Zend_Stdlib_SplPriorityQueue
Get the inner priority queue instance
Type | Description |
---|---|
\Zend_Stdlib_SplPriorityQueue |


hasPriority(int $priority) : bool
Does the queue have an item with the given priority?
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$priority | int |
Type | Description |
---|---|
bool |


insert(mixed $data, int $priority = 1) : \Zend_Stdlib_PriorityQueue
Insert an item into the queue
Priority defaults to 1 (low priority) if none provided.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$data | mixed | |
$priority | int |
Type | Description |
---|---|
\Zend_Stdlib_PriorityQueue |


remove(mixed $datum) : boolean
Remove an item from the queue
This is different than extract(); its purpose is to dequeue an item.
This operation is potentially expensive, as it requires re-initialization and re-population of the inner queue.
Note: this removes the first item matching the provided item found. If the same item has been added multiple times, it will not remove other instances.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$datum | mixed |
Type | Description |
---|---|
boolean | False if the item was not found, true otherwise. |


returnData(array $item) : mixed
Return data from an internal item
Used as a lambda in toArray().
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$item | array |
Type | Description |
---|---|
mixed |


returnPriority(array $item) : mixed
Return priority from an internal item
Used as a lambda in toArray().
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$item | array |
Type | Description |
---|---|
mixed |


setInternalQueueClass(string $class) : \Zend_Stdlib_PriorityQueue
Specify the internal queue class
Please see getIterator() for details on the necessity of an internal queue class. The class provided should extend SplPriorityQueue.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$class | string |
Type | Description |
---|---|
\Zend_Stdlib_PriorityQueue |


toArray(int $flag = self::EXTR_DATA) : array
Serialize to an array
By default, returns only the item data, and in the order registered (not sorted). You may provide one of the EXTR_* flags as an argument, allowing the ability to return priorities or both data and priority.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$flag | int |
Type | Description |
---|---|
array |


unserialize(string $data) : void
Unserialize a string into a Zend_Stdlib_PriorityQueue object
Serialization format is compatible with Zend_Stdlib_SplPriorityQueue
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$data | string |
