jQuery style Constructors in PHP
- by McB
Is there a way to instantiate a new PHP object in a similar manner to those in jQuery? I'm talking about assigning a variable number of arguments when creating the object. For example, I know I could do something like:
...
//in my Class
__contruct($name, $height, $eye_colour, $car, $password) {
...
}
$p1 = new person("bob", "5'9", "Blue", "toyota", "password");
But I'd like to set only some of them maybe. So something like:
$p1 = new person({
name: "bob",
eyes: "blue"});
Which is more along the lines of how it is done in jQuery and other frameworks. Is this built in to PHP? Is there a way to do it? Or a reason I should avoid it?
