Question

Im rewriting application from .NET to PHP.
I need to create class like this:

class myClass
{
    public ${'property-name-with-minus-signs'} = 5;
    public {'i-have-a-lot-of-this'} = 5; //tried with "$" and without
}

But it doesnt work.
I dont want to use something like this:

$myClass = new stdClass();
$myClass->{'blah-blah'};

Because i have a lot of this in code.

Edit few days later: i was writing application that uses SOAP. These fancy names are used in API which i had to communicate with.

Answer 1

I used code like this:

class myClass
{

    function __construct() {

        // i had to initialize class with some default values
        $this->{'fvalue-string'} = '';
        $this->{'fvalue-int'} = 0;
        $this->{'fvalue-float'} = 0;
        $this->{'fvalue-image'} = 0;
        $this->{'fvalue-datetime'} = 0;   
    }
}
