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:

You can use an array to pass variable number of variable to the class, for example:

<?php

class test
{
  private $myarray = array();

  function save($index, $value)
  {
      $this->myarray[$index] = $value;
  }

  function get($index)
  {
     echo $this->myarray[$index] . '<br />';
  }
}

$test = new test;
$test->save('1', 'some value here 1');
$test->save('2', 'some value here 2');
$test->save('3', 'some value here 3');

$test->get(1);
$test->get(2);
$test->get(3);

 ?>

Output

some value here 1
some value here 2
some value here 3

You could also use the __get and __set magic methods to save info easily.
