    There are some interfaces used here that are not documented.  It took a bit to figure this one out, but you can create your own ArrayObject type class (that is, one who's objects can be access using the array [$index] syntax).

    Your class must just implement ArrayAccess.  Which has four abstract methods you must define.  For example:

    <?php
            class Collection Implements ArrayAccess{
       
            protected     $array;
           
            function     offsetExists($offset){
               
                if(isset(    $this->array[$offset])){
                    return     TRUE;
                }
                else{
                    return     FALSE;
                }
               
            }
           
            function     offsetGet($offset){
               
                return     $this->array[$offset];
               
            }
           
            function     offsetSet($offset, $value){
               
                if(    $offset){
                        $this->array[$offset] = $value;
                }
                else{
                        $this->array[] = $value;
                }
           
            }
           
            function     offsetUnset($offset){
           
            }
       
       
        }
    ?>

    You'll have to jump through a couple more hoops to get foreach and print_r and the likes to behave properly.  But with just this, you can :

    <?php
          $col     = new Collction();
              $col[] = new ObjectX();
              $col[] = new ObjectX(123);

          echo     $col[0]->name;
              // etc.
    ?>

    These to funtions has excatly the same output, the only diff. is in which directory iterator they use. I hope someone out there can use it:
    <?php
    function listfilesin1 ($dir = ".", $depth=0) {
        echo     "Dir: ".$dir."<br/>";
        foreach(new     DirectoryIterator($dir) as $file) {
            if (!    $file->isDot()) {
                if (    $file->isDir()) {
                        $newdir = $file->getPathname();
                        listfilesin1($newdir, $depth+1);
                } else {
                    echo     "($depth)".$file->getPathname() . "<br/>";
                }
            }
        }
    }
    function     listfilesin2 ($dir = ".", $depth=0) {
        echo     "Dir: ".$dir."<br/>";
        foreach(new     RecursiveDirectoryIterator($dir) as $file) {
            if (    $file->hasChildren(false)) {
                    $newdir = $file->key();
                    listfilesin2($newdir, $depth+1);
            } else {
                echo     "($depth)".$file->key() . "<br/>";
            }
        }
    }
    listfilesin();
    ?>

    This code is an example. By using classes like this, you gives a chance to create classes which extends another class but have most of the ability what a class extends ArrayObject (like multiple inheritance):

    <?php

    class foo
    {
        public     $foo = 'foo';
    }     // class

    class foobar extends foo implements ArrayAccess,IteratorAggregate,Countable
    {
        public function     offsetExists($offset)
        {
                $array = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
            return     array_key_exists($offset, $array);
        }
       
        public function     offsetGet($offset)
        {
                $array = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
            return     $array[$offset];
        }
       
        public function     offsetSet($offset, $value)
        {
                // Makes "array" to readonly
            }
       
        public function     offsetUnset($offset)
        {
                // Makes "array" to readonly
            }
       
        function     count()
        {
                $array = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
            return     count($array);
        }     // function
       
            function getArray()
        {
            return array(    1, 2, 3, 4);
        }     // function
       
            function getIterator()
        {
            return new     ArrayIterator(array(1, 2, 3, 4));
        }     // function
       
            function __toString()
        {
            return     'String test';
        }     // function
    } // class

    $foobar = new foobar();
    print     $foobar[0].'<br/>';
    print     $foobar->foo.'<br/>';
    print     count($foobar).'<br/>';

    foreach (    $foobar as $k=>$v)
    {
        print     $k.'=>'.$v.'<br/>';
    }     // foreach

    var_dump($foobar->getArray());

    print     $foobar;

    /* Generated output:
    1
    foo
    4
    0=>1
    1=>2
    2=>3
    3=>4
    array
      0 => int 1
      1 => int 2
      2 => int 3
      3 => int 4
    String test
    */
    ?>

    For proper use you must be define all these methods except getArray()

    Browse SPL's sources to be a very helpful think.

    /*
    How to store SPL Iterator results (rather than just echo-and-forget):

    The library of Iterators  are object based, so you need to trick the little rascals into an array. 
    Here's how (two ways) ...

    1. Explicit typecasts: $a[] = (array)$Obj->objMethod();

    2. Array definition: $a[] = array( key => $Obj->objMethod() );

    Examples: DirectoryIterator()
    */

    // 1. explicity typecast object as array
    foreach ( new DirectoryIterator('./') as $Item )
    {
          $fname = (array)$Item->getFilename();
          $dir_listing[] = $fname[0];
    }

    //
    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($dir_listing); unset($dir_listing);
    echo    "</pre><hr />";
    //

    // or

    // 2. define array as key => object->method
    foreach ( new DirectoryIterator('./') as $Item )
    {
          $dir_listing[] = array (
            "fname" => $Item->getFilename(),       
            "path" => $Item->getPathname(),
            "size" => $Item->getSize(),                   
            "mtime" => $Item->getMTime()
      );
    }

    //
    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($dir_listing); unset($dir_listing);
    echo    "</pre>";
    //

    I have to correct my implementation from before. The example before only supported correct read-access but failed on setting new values after creation of the ArrayMultiObject. Also i had to correct a bug that occured from my CopyPasteChange into the comment textarea.

    This snippet now hopefully implements a fully functional multidimensional array, represented by an ArrayObject:

    <?php
    class ArrayMultiObject extends ArrayObject
    {
        function     __construct($array, $flags = 0, $iterator_class = "ArrayIterator")
        {
                $objects = array();
            foreach(    $array AS $key => $value) {
                if(    is_array($value)) {
                        $objects[$key] = new ArrayMultiObject($value, $flags, $iterator_class);
                } else {
                        $objects[$key] = $value;
                }
            }

                parent::__construct($objects, $flags, $iterator_class);
        }

        public function     offsetSet($name, $value)
        {
            if(    is_array($value)) {
                    $value = new ArrayMultiObject($value);
            }

            return     parent::offsetSet($name, $value);
        }
    }
    ?>

    Here's a sample implementation of the RecursiveDirectoryIterator class. It prints a simple treeview of a given directory:
    <?php
    function recurse($it) {
       echo     '<ul>';
       for( ;     $it->valid(); $it->next()) {
           if(    $it->isDir() && !$it->isDot()) {
                   printf('<li class="dir">%s</li>', $it->current());
               if(    $it->hasChildren()) {
                       $bleh = $it->getChildren();
                   echo     '<ul>' . recurse($bleh) . '</ul>';
               }
           } elseif(    $it->isFile()) {
               echo     '<li class="file">'. $it->current() . ' (' . $it->getSize(). ' Bytes)</li>';
           }
       }
       echo     '</ul>';
    }

    recurse(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('D:/'));

    There is a RecursiveFilterIterator that makes the above code much easier. And then ther is ParentIterator thta is already a filtering recursive iterator that only accepts elements that have children, with a RecursiveDirectoryIterator as inner iterator you would obviously get only the directories. Further more it ensures that it creates the correct children. All in all you simply need to do this:

    $it = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path);
    $it = new ParentIterator($it);
    $it = new RecursiveIteratorIteator($it);

    foreach($it as $dir  => $o) { ... }

    For some application I needed to reverse some standard iterators.

    So I mocked up this flexible function.
    Enjoy

    <?php
    function reverse_iterator(Iterator $iterator){
            $type     = get_class($iterator);
            $array     = array_reverse(iterator_to_array($iterator), true);
        return new     $type($array);
    }
    ?>

    Something to note that, at least to me, seems pretty important and is not entirely clear in the documentation is the fact that the ArrayObject class supports get/set on uni-dimensional keys and get ONLY on *passed* multi-dimensional keys/paths (see source below). If you, like me, need to support array accesss overloading for multi-dimensional data, you will need to derive from ArrayObject and overide the ArrayAccess interface methods to "walk" passed data and convert embedded arrays to objects of some kind...

    Reference Bug 34816 @ http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34816.

    Illustration of the issue:

    $a = array(
        "test" => array(
            "one" => "dunno",
            "two" => array(
                "peekabo" => "do you see me?",
                "anyone" => array("there")
                )
            )
        );
    $oArray = new ArrayObject($a);
    var_dump($oArray);

    $oArray["three"] = "No problems here.";

    echo "\n\\test\\one == " . $oArray["test"]["one"] . "\n\n";

    // NEITHER of the two below will work!
    $oArray["test"]["one"] = "Yes I do!";
    $oArray["test"]["yes"] = array(
        "hello" => "Goodbye!"
        );

    var_dump($oArray);

    ---
    Note from the extension author:
    Actually there is RecursiveArrayObject and RecursiveArrayIterator to deal with recursive structures. However this does not always solve all multidimensional issues as expected.
