Rediscovering the SPL

Dive into the powerful yet underutilized Standard PHP Library (SPL) in this comprehensive 59-minute conference talk from PHP UK Conference 2014. Explore numerous iterators, data structures, and interfaces defined by SPL, learning when and how to implement them in your projects. Discover edge cases and unexpected behaviors in SPL, gaining insights into Traversable, Iterator, Countable, and various specialized iterators. Examine PHP source code, iterator aggregation, and recursive operations. Delve into SPL arrays, data structures, Big O notation, and object storage. Understand SPL exceptions, including logic and runtime exceptions, and learn best practices for exception handling.
