SPL

The SplFixedArray class functions more like an array in C or Java than an array in PHP.

• The number of elements to be stored is known in advance (a crude example being when the mysql_num_rows function is called on a result resource).• Elements only need to be accessed by sequential position (versus by a semantically meaningful key).

For 500 elements memory consumption 1400KB

With SplFixedArray 800 KB
