Wow! Excellent article! Very useful; thank you for the introduction. Am I alone in not knowing the SPL existed? :)

I don't think so, I read a lot of PHP5 code that can be converted to a much more readable code using SPL.

Thanks for reading this, I'm really glad you liked it.

SPL is one of the main reasons that I finnaly installed PHP5, so this article was perfect for me.

I think listing 7 has errors:

$iterator = new ExtensionFilter(
new LimitIterator(
new DirectoryIterator(’/tmp’),
0, 10),
‘bz2′
);
should be:
$iterator = new LimitIterator(
new ExtensionFilter(
new DirectoryIterator(’/tmp’),
‘bz2′),
0, 10);

THANKS! I’m just getting into PHP - working with a bunch of
experienced PHP people. I stumbled on SPL while working on
some little utilities of my own. One of my teammates saw my
code and asked what’s a DirectoryIteratorIterator? When I
told him about SPL, it sure made me look good!

Excellent. This article is a fine departure from the usual SPL articles which assume the reader is familiar with the concept of iterators (for instance from experience with the C++ STL) and really breaks it down with real world examples of usage.

This is great, I also found an excellent tutorial on SPL at http://phpro.org/tutorials/Introduction-to-SPL.html
These have been most helpful

Great stuff! While I was familiar with most of the things you explained here, it was nice to see an article that discussed most facets of SPL at once, and in depth.

A very very good article.

With the lack of documentation on that, I found this resource to be extremly helpful.

You should link to this on PHP.net, really!

So, more people can find your great work!
