Flow PHP

Column

Methods

at() : mixed: PHYSICAL cell: int|float|bool|string|array|null - never a DateTimeImmutable, Uuid, Json …
concat() : self: Same-class lane; a mixed-class concat never reaches here - Rows::concat rebuilds it through the caller's backend.
count() : int
encode() : array<int, string>
isNull() : bool
nullCount() : int
physicals() : array<int, mixed>
slice() : self: `self`, never `static`: the extension declares these too and ext-php-rs has no `static` return binding.
take() : self
type() : Type<string|int, mixed>: The logical type; a child column has a Type, never a Definition.
value() : mixed: LOGICAL cell - PHP: Physical::fromPhysical(at($i)); native: built in Rust.
values() : array<int, mixed>
withType() : self: The one type-changing operation: same buffers, a new Type of the same column kind, checked recursively.

at()


    public
                    at(int $i) : mixed

Parameters

$i : int

concat()

Same-class lane; a mixed-class concat never reaches here - Rows::concat rebuilds it through the caller's backend.


    public
                    concat(self ...$others) : self

Parameters

$others : self

Return values

self

count()


    public
                    count() : int

Return values

int

encode()


    public
                    encode() : array<int, string>

Return values

array<int, string> —

the column's frame buffers in the kind's buffer order, pre-order for nested kinds, in canonical form; an omitted validity buffer is ''

isNull()


    public
                    isNull(int $i) : bool

Parameters

$i : int

Return values

bool

nullCount()


    public
                    nullCount() : int

Return values

int

physicals()


    public
                    physicals() : array<int, mixed>

Return values

array<int, mixed> —

physical, whole column - PHP returns its backing list (refcount), native copies once

slice()

`self`, never `static`: the extension declares these too and ext-php-rs has no `static` return binding.


    public
                    slice(int $offset, int $length) : self

Parameters

$offset : int
$length : int

Return values

self

take()


    public
                    take(array<int, int> $indices) : self

Parameters

$indices : array<int, int>: every index in [0, count())

Return values

self

type()

The logical type; a child column has a Type, never a Definition.


    public
                    type() : Type<string|int, mixed>

Return values

Type<string|int, mixed>

value()

LOGICAL cell - PHP: Physical::fromPhysical(at($i)); native: built in Rust.


    public
                    value(int $i) : mixed

Parameters

$i : int

values()


    public
                    values() : array<int, mixed>

Return values

array<int, mixed> —

logical, whole column (encoders, statistics, reduceToArray)

withType()

The one type-changing operation: same buffers, a new Type of the same column kind, checked recursively.


    public
                    withType(Type<string|int, mixed> $type) : self

Dropping an OptionalType or an element's optionality at any depth requires that child column's nullCount() === 0.

Parameters

$type : Type<string|int, mixed>

Return values

self
