The SplFixedArray class provides the main functionalities of array. The main differences between a SplFixedArray and a normal PHP array is that the SplFixedArray is of fixed length and allows only integers within the range as indexes. The advantage is that it allows a faster array implementation.

[, bool $save_indexes
= true
] )$index

Example #1 SplFixedArray usage example
<?php
// Initialize the array with a fixed length
$array = new SplFixedArray ( 5 );
$array [ 1 ] = 2 ;
$array [ 4 ] = "foo" ;
var_dump ( $array [ 0 ]); // NULL
var_dump ( $array [ 1 ]); // int(2)
var_dump ( $array [ "4" ]); // string(3) "foo"
// Increase the size of the array to 10
$array -> setSize ( 10 );
$array [ 9 ] = "asdf" ;
// Shrink the array to a size of 2
$array -> setSize ( 2 );
// The following lines throw a RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range
try {
var_dump ( $array [ "non-numeric" ]);
} catch( RuntimeException $re ) {
echo "RuntimeException: " . $re -> getMessage (). "\n" ;
}
try {
var_dump ( $array [- 1 ]);
} catch( RuntimeException $re ) {
echo "RuntimeException: " . $re -> getMessage (). "\n" ;
}
try {
var_dump ( $array [ 5 ]);
} catch( RuntimeException $re ) {
echo "RuntimeException: " . $re -> getMessage (). "\n" ;
}
?>
以上例程会输出:
NULL int(2) string(3) "foo" RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range RuntimeException: Index invalid or out of range

As the documentation says, SplFixedArray is meant to be *faster* than array. Do not blindly believe other people's benchmarks, and beextra careful with the user comments on php.net. For instance, nairbv's benchmark code is completely wrong. Among other errors, it intends to increase the size of the arrays, but always initialize a 20 elements SplFixedArray.
On a PHP 5.4 64 bits linux server, I found SplFixedArray to be always faster than array().
* small data (1,000):
* write: SplFixedArray is 15 % faster
* read: SplFixedArray is 5 % faster
* larger data (512,000):
* write: SplFixedArray is 33 % faster
* read: SplFixedArray is 10 % faster

Memory footprint of splFixedArray is about 37% of a regular "array" of the same size.
I was hoping for more, but that's also significant, and that's where you should expect to see difference, not in "performance".

Note, that this is considerably faster and should be used when the size of the array is known. Here are some very basic bench marks:
<?php
for($size = 1000; $size < 50000000; $size *= 2) {
echo PHP_EOL . "Testing size: $size" . PHP_EOL;
for($s = microtime(true), $container = Array(), $i = 0; $i < $size; $i++) $container[$i] = NULL;
echo "Array(): " . (microtime(true) - $s) . PHP_EOL;
for($s = microtime(true), $container = new SplFixedArray($size), $i = 0; $i < $size; $i++) $container[$i] = NULL;
echo "SplArray(): " . (microtime(true) - $s) . PHP_EOL;
}
?>
