My problem, simplified is:
class A {
public $a;
public $b;
function f1 () {
// Code
}
}
$obj = new A();
$arr = array ("a" => 1, "b" => 2);
How can I put the contents of $arr into $obj? (Obviously without $obj->a = $arr["a"], suppose there are thousands of values)
Thank you.
A foreach loop and a variable variable:
foreach ($arr as $name => $value) {
$obj->$name = $value;
}
You probably shouldn't have thousands of variables in your class though.
You can also use get_class_vars() function like -
<?php
class A {
public $a;
public $b;
function f1 () {
// Code
}
}
$obj = new A();
$arr = array ("a" => 1, "b" => 2);
$vars = get_class_vars("A");
foreach($vars as $var=>$value)
$obj->$var = $arr[$var];
print_r($obj);
?>
A same as (discarding protected & private member):
foreach ($obj as $property_name => $property_value) {
if (array_key_exists($property_name, $arr))
//discarding protected and private member
$obj->$property_name = $arr[$property_name];
}
Or just add iterate method on class A:
class A {
public $a;
public $b;
function iterate($array) {
foreach ($this as $property_name => $property_value) {
if (array_key_exists($property_name, $array))
$this->$propety_name = $array[$property_name];
}
}
function f1 () {
// Code
}
}
and use the iterate() method.
