php create object without class [duplicate]

Question

In JavaScript, you can easiliy create an object without a class by:

 myObj = {};  myObj.abc = "aaaa"; 

For PHP I've found this one, but it is nearly 4 years old: http://www.subclosure.com/php-creating-anonymous-objects-on-the-fly.html

$obj = (object) array('foo' => 'bar', 'property' => 'value'); 

Now with PHP 5.4 in 2013, is there an alternative to this?

Answer 1

you can always use new stdClass(). Example code:

   $object = new stdClass();    $object->property = 'Here we go';     var_dump($object);    /*    outputs:     object(stdClass)#2 (1) {       ["property"]=>       string(10) "Here we go"     }    */ 

Also as of PHP 5.4 you can get same output with:

$object = (object) ['property' => 'Here we go'];
