I need PHP object similar to HashMap in Java, but I didn't find when I googled, so if someone knows how I can mimic HashMaps in PHP, help would be appreciated.

You could create a custom HashMap class for that in php. example as shown below containing the basic HashMap attributes such as get and set.
class HashMap{
public $arr;
function init() {
function populate() {
return null;
}
// change to 999 for efficiency
$this->arr = array_map('populate', range(0, 9));
return $this->arr;
}
function get_hash($key) {
$hash = 0;
for ($i=0; $i < strlen($key) ; $i++) {
$hash += ord($key[$i]);
}
// arr index starts from 0
$hash_idx = $hash % (count($this->arr) - 1);
return $hash_idx;
}
function add($key, $value) {
$idx = $this->get_hash($key);
if ($this->arr[$idx] == null) {
$this->arr[$idx] = [$value];
} else{
$found = false;
$content = $this->arr[$idx];
$content_idx = 0;
foreach ($content as $item) {
// checking if they have same number of streams
if ($item == $value) {
$content[$content_idx] = [$value];
$found = true;
break;
}
$content_idx++;
}
if (!$found) {
// $value is already an array
array_push($content, $value);
// updating the array
$this->arr[$idx] = $content;
}
}
return $this->arr;
}
function get($key) {
$idx = $this->get_hash($key);
$content = $this->arr[$idx];
foreach ($content as $item) {
if ($item[1] == $key) {
return $item;
break;
}
}
}
}
Hope this was useful
