PHP effective data structures

As software engineers, we know that we need to use the proper data structure to handle each task. Depending on the data structure we use to process a collection, we might not achieve our goals at all.

On PHP, we don't have that concern, because we have one way of dealing with all of them: Arrays. We can reduce greatly the memory usage, and related to that, improve the performance of the application.
