How can PHP classes be used to store and manipulate arrays effectively?

PHP classes can be used to store and manipulate arrays effectively by creating a class that contains array properties and methods to manipulate those arrays. This allows for better organization of code, encapsulation of data, and reusability of array manipulation logic. 

class ArrayManipulator {
    private $array;

    public function __construct($array) {
        $this->array = $array;
    }

    public function addElement($element) {
        $this->array[] = $element;
    }

    public function removeElement($index) {
        unset($this->array[$index]);
    }

    public function getArray() {
        return $this->array;
    }
}

// Example usage
$array = [1, 2, 3];
$manipulator = new ArrayManipulator($array);
$manipulator->addElement(4);
$manipulator->removeElement(1);
print_r($manipulator->getArray());
