Req #78494 [NEW]: Creating simple object with object()

From: geoffgedde at gmail dot com Operating system: Any PHP version: 7.2.22 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Creating simple object with object() Description: ------------ Many times I prefer the syntax and usage of Objects over Arrays, but creating objects quickly is awkward and not very readable to the entire Team. However, it would be simplified if we could use a function called object() like we do with array(). Sure we could typecast array with (object) but that could be confusing to other devs if they miss-read or typecast. Instead it would be better to do: $obj = object( 'name' => 'Some Name', 'id' => 123 ); echo $obj->name; object() is an unused function so why can't it be added in? -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78494&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78494&r=mysqlcfg
