Pass variable number of variables to a class in PHP

Question

I need to pass a variable number of strings to instantiate different classes. I can always do a switch on the size of the array:

switch(count($a)) {
case 1:
            


        

Answer 1

// Constructs an instance of a class with a variable number of parameters.

function make() { // Params: classname, list of constructor params
 $args = func_get_args();
 $classname = array_shift($args);
 $reflection = new ReflectionClass($classname);
 return $reflection->newInstanceArgs($args);
}

How to use:

$MyClass = make('MyClass', $string1, $string2, $string3);

Edit: if you want to use this function with your $a = array("variable1", "variable2", 'variable3", ...)

call_user_func_array('make', array_merge(array('MyClass'), $a));
