From: llmll at gmx dot de Operating system: any PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Support amed parameters in constructors to inline initialize objects with new()
Description: ------------ As PHP does not support *real* overloading by different parameter sets, arrays are being used for dynamic parameters as well as for object initialization in constructors. However arrays use strings as keys, which kills syntax highlighting and refactoring capabilities in IDEs. PHP engine should provide a way to initialize an object inline by dynamically providing parameters to new(). Test script: --------------- $object = new Object({ StringMember: "content", Counter: 42, ArrayMember: ["old" => "way"] }); Expected result: ---------------- $object->StringMember = "content"; $object->Counter = 42; $object->ArrayMember = array("old" => "way"); $object->MoreProperties = "stay untouched"; Actual result: -------------- not possible. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65296&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65296&r=mysqlcfg
