Question

For example, I have a object like this:

class myObj{
 private $a;
 private $b;

 //getter , setter

}

And I would like to do something like:

$myObj = initWitharray(array('a'=> 'myavalue', 
                           'b'=> 'mybvalue'));

And the myObj will have all the a value and b value. How can I do so ? Thank you.

As NullUserException suggested:

<?php

class myObj {

    private $a;
    private $b;

    public function initWithArray(array $arr) {
        foreach ($arr as $k => $v) {
            $this->$k = $v;
        }
        return $this;
    }

    public function get($name) {
        return $this->$name;
    }

}

// usage
$myObj = new myObj();
echo $myObj->initWithArray(array(
            'a' => 'myavalue',
            'b' => 'mybvalue'))
        ->get('a');
