Summary: Support named parameters in constructors to inline
initialize objects with new()
Status: Open
Type: Feature/Change Request
Package: Scripting Engine problem
Operating System: any
PHP Version: Irrelevant

New Comment:
Keeping in mind that your IDE could not possibly give you support for arbitrary
properties on objects, they probably do support the @property phpdoc. Add that
to __get/__set and you have
/**
* @property string $StringMember
* @property int $Counter
* @property mixed[] $ArrayMember
*/
class Foo {
private $data;
public function __construct(array $data) { $this->data = $data; }
public function __get($name) { return $this->data[$name]; }
public function __set($name, $value) { $this->data[$name] = $value; }
}
$foo = new Foo([
"StringMember" => "content",
"Counter" => 42,
"ArrayMember" => ["old" => "way"]
]);
$foo-> // should autocomplete/suggest StringMember, Counter, and ArrayMember
If you're talking about the {} syntax you used,

Description:
------------
As PHP does not support *real* overloading by different parameter sets, arrays are being used for
dynamic parameters as well as for object initialization in constructors.
However arrays use strings as keys, which kills syntax highlighting and refactoring capabilities in
IDEs.
PHP engine should provide a way to initialize an object inline by dynamically providing parameters
to new().
Test script:
---------------
$object = new Object({
StringMember: "content",
Counter: 42,
ArrayMember: ["old" => "way"]
});
Expected result:
----------------
$object->StringMember = "content";
$object->Counter = 42;
$object->ArrayMember = array("old" => "way");
$object->MoreProperties = "stay untouched";
Actual result:
--------------
not possible.
