PHP check whether property exists in object or class

Question

I understand PHP does not have a pure object variable, but I want to check whether a property is in the given object or class.

$ob = (object) array(\'a\' =&g         


        

Answer 1

Just putting my 2 cents here.

Given the following class:

class Foo
{
  private $data;

  public function __construct(array $data)
  {
    $this->data = $data;
  }

  public function __get($name)
  {
    return $data[$name];
  }

  public function __isset($name)
  {
    return array_key_exists($name, $this->data);
  }
}

the following will happen:

$foo = new Foo(['key' => 'value', 'bar' => null]);

var_dump(property_exists($foo, 'key'));  // false
var_dump(isset($foo->key));  // true
var_dump(property_exists($foo, 'bar'));  // false
var_dump(isset($foo->bar));  // true, although $data['bar'] == null

Hope this will help anyone
