Initialize Objects like arrays in PHP?

Question

In PHP, you can initialize arrays with values quickly using the following notation:

$array = array(\"name\" => \"member 1\", array(\"name\" => \"member         


        

Answer 1

I use a class I name Dict:

class Dict {

    public function __construct($values = array()) {
        foreach($values as $k => $v) {
            $this->{$k} = $v;
        }
    }
}

It also has functions for merging with other objects and arrays, but that's kinda out of the scope of this question.
