下面是另一个简单但功能强大的逻辑(Laravel框架在内部机制中也使用了这个逻辑)

/**
 * Determines if an array is associative.
 * @param  array  $array
 * @return bool
 */
function isAssoc(array $array)
{
    $keys = array_keys($array);

    return array_keys($keys) !== $keys;
}

从源头再来一个。 json_encode(和bson_encode)的拟合编码。javascript数组的一致性也是如此。

function isSequential($value){
    if(is_array($value) || ($value instanceof \Countable && $value instanceof \ArrayAccess)){
        for ($i = count($value) - 1; $i >= 0; $i--) {
            if (!isset($value[$i]) && !array_key_exists($i, $value)) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    } else {
        throw new \InvalidArgumentException(
            sprintf('Data type "%s" is not supported by method %s', gettype($value), __METHOD__)
        );
    }
}

通过使用xarray PHP扩展

你可以非常快地做到这一点(在PHP 5.6中大约快30倍):

if (array_is_indexed($array)) {  }

Or:

if (array_is_assoc($array)) {  }

我想出了下一个方法:

function isSequential(array $list): bool
{
    $i = 0;
    $count = count($list);
    while (array_key_exists($i, $list)) {
        $i += 1;
        if ($i === $count) {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}


var_dump(isSequential(array())); // false
var_dump(isSequential(array('a', 'b', 'c'))); // true
var_dump(isSequential(array("0" => 'a', "1" => 'b', "2" => 'c'))); // true
var_dump(isSequential(array("1" => 'a', "0" => 'b', "2" => 'c'))); // true
var_dump(isSequential(array("1a" => 'a', "0b" => 'b', "2c" => 'c'))); // false
var_dump(isSequential(array("a" => 'a', "b" => 'b', "c" => 'c'))); // false

*注意空数组不被认为是一个连续数组，但我认为这是好的，因为空数组就像0 -不管它是正负，它是空的。

与上面列出的一些方法相比，这种方法的优点如下:

它不涉及数组的复制(有人在这个要点https://gist.github.com/Thinkscape/1965669中提到array_values不涉及复制-什么!??它确实如此-如下所示) 对于更大的数组，它更快，同时对内存更友好

我使用了Artur Bodera提供的基准测试，其中我将其中一个数组更改为1M个元素(array_fill(0, 1000000, uniqid())， //大数字数组)。

以下是100次迭代的结果:

PHP 7.1.16 (cli) (built: Mar 31 2018 02:59:59) ( NTS )

Initial memory: 32.42 MB
Testing my_method (isset check) - 100 iterations
  Total time: 2.57942 s
  Total memory: 32.48 MB

Testing method3 (array_filter of keys) - 100 iterations
  Total time: 5.10964 s
  Total memory: 64.42 MB

Testing method1 (array_values check) - 100 iterations
  Total time: 3.07591 s
  Total memory: 64.42 MB

Testing method2 (array_keys comparison) - 100 iterations
  Total time: 5.62937 s
  Total memory: 96.43 MB

*方法的排序基于它们的内存消耗

**我使用echo“Total memory:”。Number_format (memory_get_peak_usage()/1024/ 1024,2) . "MB \ n”;显示内存使用情况

function is_associative($arr) {
  return (array_merge($arr) !== $arr || count(array_filter($arr, 'is_string', ARRAY_FILTER_USE_KEY)) > 0);
}

我认为标量数组的定义因应用程序而异。也就是说，一些应用程序将需要更严格的定义标量数组，而一些应用程序将需要更宽松的定义。

下面我将介绍3种不同严格程度的方法。
