There are two methods to doing it.

One, you can directly create property dynamically from outside the class:

class Foo{

}

$foo = new Foo();
$foo->hello = 'Something';

Or if you wish to create property through your createProperty method:

class Foo{
    public function createProperty($name, $value){
        $this->{$name} = $value;
    }
}

$foo = new Foo();
$foo->createProperty('hello', 'something');
