PHP dynamic class loading

Question

Lets say that I have an array that I want to convert to a value object.

My value object class is as follows:

/* file UserVO.php*/
 class UserVO
 {
    pu         


        

Answer 1

First, conversion of data to an array object for UserVO should be done with ArrayObject

so

class UserVO extends ArrayObject
{
}

You are trying to use the factory method pattern and your code seems to be right, though you seem to have an forgotten to define $result as an array ($result = array()).

You can also use the ReflectionClass to pass constructor arguments as well as such:

$rc = new ReflectionClass($vo);
$rc->newInstanceArgs($data[$i]);

To "autoload" your UserVO object, you should use the spl_autoload_register function with a php include path.
