Hi all,
Say you may want to create an instance in multiple ways, such as creating
from scratch or loading from a database. Is something like this normal for
creating an instance?
class Foo
{
function Foo($method)
{
switch ($method) {
default:
$method = 'create';
case 'create':
case 'load':
$args = func_get_args();
array_shift($args);
if (!call_user_func_array(array(&$this, $method), $args)) {
$this = false;
}
}
}
function create()
... // Returns false on failure; true otherwise.
function load($id)
... // Returns false on failure; true otherwise.
function save()
... // Saves to database.
}
What are other people doing to instantiate their objects?
