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

have a look at the factory design pattern:

class Factory {
  public static function CreateInstance($args) {
    switch(func_get_num_args()) {
      case …:
        return new ClassA(…); break;
      case …:
        return new ClassB(…); break;
    }
  }
}
