Re: ability to use extract to $this vars in a class

If i understand you correctly, you want to extract all the keys and generate class members with them.. // Define class test class test { // We pass an array to the constructor function __construct( $arr ) { foreach($arr as $key => $val ) { $this->{$key} = $val; } // For this example, i print the structure of the object print_r($this); } } $tests = array( 'hi' => 'bye', 'hey' => 'ho', 'lets' => 'go'); $test = new test($tests); I forgot in the previous message to mention that if the member exists, it will be overriden. In addition, you shouldn't use this, as you don't have control over the accessing to the vars. Instead, you should store them in a previously defined array (for example private $_vars; )
