PriorityQueue
in package
implements
Countable, IteratorAggregate, Serializable
Re-usable, serializable priority queue implementation
SplPriorityQueue acts as a heap; on iteration, each item is removed from the queue. If you wish to re-use such a queue, you need to clone it first. This makes for some interesting issues if you wish to delete items from the queue, or, as already stated, iterate over it multiple times.
This class aggregates items for the queue itself, but also composes an "inner" iterator in the form of an SplPriorityQueue object for performing the actual iteration.

Parameters
- $datum : TValue
Return values
boolcount()
How many items are in the queue?
public
count() : int

Extract a node from the inner queue and sift up
public
extract() : TValue
Return values
TValuegetIterator()
Retrieve the inner iterator
public
getIterator() : SplPriorityQueue<TPriority, TValue>
SplPriorityQueue acts as a heap, which typically implies that as items are iterated, they are also removed. This does not work for situations where the queue may be iterated multiple times. As such, this class aggregates the values, and also injects an SplPriorityQueue. This method retrieves the inner queue object, and clones it for purposes of iteration.
Attributes
Return values
SplPriorityQueue<TPriority, TValue>hasPriority()
Does the queue have an item with the given priority?
public
hasPriority(TPriority $priority) : bool
Parameters
- $priority : TPriority
Return values
boolinsert()
Insert an item into the queue
public
insert(TValue $data[, TPriority $priority = 1 ]) : $this
Priority defaults to 1 (low priority) if none provided.
Parameters
- $data : TValue
- $priority : TPriority = 1
Return values
$thisisEmpty()
Is the queue empty?
public
isEmpty() : bool
Return values
boolremove()
Remove an item from the queue
public
remove(mixed $datum) : bool
This is different than ; its purpose is to dequeue an item.
This operation is potentially expensive, as it requires re-initialization and re-population of the inner queue.
Note: this removes the first item matching the provided item found. If the same item has been added multiple times, it will not remove other instances.
Parameters
- $datum : mixed
Return values
bool —False if the item was not found, true otherwise.
serialize()
Serialize the data structure
public
serialize() : string
Return values
stringsetInternalQueueClass()
Specify the internal queue class
public
setInternalQueueClass(SplPriorityQueue> $class) : $this
Please see for details on the necessity of an internal queue class. The class provided should extend SplPriorityQueue.
Parameters
- $class : SplPriorityQueue>
Return values
$thistoArray()
Serialize to an array By default, returns only the item data, and in the order registered (not sorted). You may provide one of the EXTR_* flags as an argument, allowing the ability to return priorities or both data and priority.
public
toArray([int $flag = self::EXTR_DATA ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
- $flag : int = self::EXTR_DATA
Tags
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>top()
Peek at the top node in the queue, based on priority.
public

Unserialize a string into a PriorityQueue object
public
unserialize(string $data) : void
Parameters
- $data : string
