  • $a->$key

    Return the item indexed by $key or null if not found.

  • $a->get($key)

    Returns the value of the item at the given $key, or null if not set.

  • $a->find("selector")

    Return all items that match the given selector, or a blank WireArray if none found.

  • $a->get("selector")

    Return the first item that matches the given selector, or null if not found.

  • $a->getRandom()

    Returns a single random item from this WireArray.

  • $a->findRandom($n)

  • $a->findRandomTimed($n, $seed='Ymd')

    Get a quantity of random elements from this WireArray that always returns the same random items for the same $seed. If $seed is a string, it is considered a PHP date() string.
