ArrayObject::__construct — Construct a new array object

### Description

public ArrayObject::__construct(array|object `$array` = [], int `$flags` = 0, string `$iteratorClass` = ArrayIterator::class)

This constructs a new array object.

### Parameters

`array`

  The `array` parameter accepts an array or an Object.

`flags`

  Flags to control the behaviour of the ArrayObject object. See ArrayObject::setFlags().

`iteratorClass`

  Specify the class that will be used for iteration of the ArrayObject object. The class must implement ArrayIterator.

### Examples

Example #1 ArrayObject::__construct() example

    <?php
    $array = array('1' => 'one',
                   '2' => 'two',
                   '3' => 'three');

    $arrayobject = new ArrayObject($array);

    var_dump($arrayobject);
    ?>

The above example will output:

    object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) {
      ["storage":"ArrayObject":private]=>
      array(3) {
        [1]=>
        string(3) "one"
        [2]=>
        string(3) "two"
        [3]=>
        string(5) "three"
      }
    }
