PHP technically doesn't allow it. But we can do it using
func_get_args
and
func_num_args
functions.
func_get_args
Gets function arguments
func_num_args
Gets amount of function arguments.
class myClass {
public function __construct() {
$get_arguments = func_get_args();
$number_of_arguments = func_num_args();
if (method_exists($this, $method_name = '__construct'.$number_of_arguments)) {
call_user_func_array(array($this, $method_name), $get_arguments);
}
}
public function __construct1($argument1) {
echo 'constructor with 1 parameter ' . $argument1 . "\n";
}
public function __construct2($argument1, $argument2) {
echo 'constructor with 2 parameter ' . $argument1 . ' ' . $argument2 . "\n";
}
public function __construct3($argument1, $argument2, $argument3) {
echo 'constructor with 3 parameter ' . $argument1 . ' ' . $argument2 . ' ' . $argument3 . "\n";
}
}
$object1 = new myClass('BUET');
$object2 = new myClass('BUET', 'is');
$object3 = new myClass('BUET', 'is', 'Best.');
