Note Submitter: marxy at portugalmail dot pt ---- I would like to extract an associative array into the properties of an object <? class MyClass { $var property1; $var property2; function MyClass( $array ) { extract( $array ) } } $properties = array( 'property1'=>"red", 'property2'=>'blue') $c = new MyClass( $propertries ); print_r( $c ); ?> This won't work cause, property1(="red") and property2(="blue") will only be available inside the constructor. The way to do it is: <? class MyClass { $var property1; $var property2; function MyClass( ) { if( func_num_args( ) > 0 ) { $array = func_get_arg( 0 ); foreach( $array as $key => $value ) { $this->$key = $value; } } else { die("on args in"); } } $properties = array( 'property1'=>"red", 'property2'=>'blue') $c = new MyClass( $propertries ); print_r( $c ); } ?> This way you can create an object no knowing for sure how many init values (and order) you will have.
