the difference of this method and the direct assign the object to a value is as follows:
<?php
$b = array('name'=>'mengzhi','age'=>'12','city'=>'shanghai');
$a = new ArrayIterator($b);
$a->append(array('home'=>'china','work'=>'developer'));
$c = $a->getArrayCopy();
var_dump($a);
var_dump($c);
?>
result:
object(ArrayIterator)#1 (1) { ["storage":"ArrayIterator":private]=> array(4) { ["name"]=> string(7) "mengzhi" ["age"]=> string(2) "12" ["city"]=> string(8) "shanghai" [0]=> array(2) { ["home"]=> string(5) "china" ["work"]=> string(9) "developer" } } }
array(4) { ["name"]=> string(7) "mengzhi" ["age"]=> string(2) "12" ["city"]=> string(8) "shanghai" [0]=> array(2) { ["home"]=> string(5) "china" ["work"]=> string(9) "developer" } }
