Bug description:Create objects with array of parameters
Description:
------------
Currently it is (not possible) to create an object using an array of
parameters.
You have to type in each parameter for the constructor manually... (see
script #1)
As it is possible to call functions using call_user_func_array, it would
also be nice to create objects like that. The only trick to make this
possible is to make the use of Reflection. (see script #2)
The paranthesis indicate that the arguments for __construct will be passed.
The idea is to omit the paranthesis and pass the arguments as array. (see
script #3)
But this is only my idea... Maybe the best way is to provide a function for
that, like call_user_func_array() for functions exists... (see script #4)
Additionally another idea is to change the way "new" works, enabling to
pass parameters to new. (see script #5)
But for me, #3 is the best solution, because IF it would be possible in
future releases of php to cast to an object, the new keyword can simply be
omitted while making the use of paranthesis. (see script #6)
thx for listenig :)
Test script:
---------------
#1
<?php
$obj = new MyClass(1,4,8);
?>
#2
<?php
$class = new ReflectionClass('MyClass'));
$obj = $class->newInstanceArgs($array);
?>
#3
<?php
$obj = new MyClass $array;
?>
#4
<?php
$obj = create_instance('MyClass', $array);
?>
#5
<?php
$obj = new(MyClass, $array); # possible solution 1
$obj = new('MyClass', $array); # possible solution 2
?>
#6
<?php
$object = (MyClass) $array;
?>
Expected result:
----------------
A function or language construct to provide making objects of classes
quickly.
Actual result:
--------------
No way instead of making the use of Reflection...
