We might also need to convert a SplFixedArray to a regular PHP array to apply some predefined array functions from PHP. Like the previous example, this is also a very simple thing to do:

$items = 5; 
$array = new SplFixedArray($items); 
for ($i = 0; $i < $items; $i++) { 
    $array[$i] = $i * 10; 
} 

$newArray = $array->toArray(); 
print_r($newArray); 

This will produce the following output:

Array 
( 
    [0] => 0 
    [1] => 10 
    [2] => 20 
    [3] => 30 
    [4] => 40 
)
