The "everything in the constructor" is the problem. That results in, essentially, an obscenely long function call that just happens to be named __construct(). If I wanted something that obscure and hard to work with I'd just use anonymous arrays. :-)

Huh? "with" methods and __construct are not exclusive. In fact, you could have a private constructor and only have "with" methods. Only allowing assignment to properties in the constructor doesn't prevent having a nice API: have your methods call the constructor. I don't see what you're getting at here. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
