从PHP 8开始，我们可以使用命名参数:

class Student {

  protected int $id;
  protected string $name;

  public function __construct(int $id = null, string $name = null, array $row_from_database = null) {
    if ($id !== null && $name !== null && $row_from_database === null) {
      $this->id = $id;
      $this->name = $name;
    } elseif ($id === null && $name === null
        && $row_from_database !== null
        && array_keys($row_from_database) === [ 'id', 'name' ]
        && is_int($row_from_database['id'])
        && is_string($row_from_database['name'])) {
      $this->id = $row_from_database['id'];
      $this->name = $row_from_database['name'];
    } else {
      throw new InvalidArgumentException('Invalid arguments');
    }
  }

}

$student1 = new Student(id: 3, name: 'abc');
$student2 = new Student(row_from_database: [ 'id' => 4, 'name' => 'def' ]);

通过适当的检查，可以排除无效的参数组合，这样创建的实例在构造函数的末尾是一个有效的实例(但错误只会在运行时检测到)。

在创建具有不同签名的多个构造函数时，我也面临着同样的问题，但不幸的是，PHP没有提供直接的方法来这样做。然而，我发现了一个技巧来克服它。希望也适用于你们所有人。

    <?PHP

    class Animal
    {

      public function __construct()
      {
        $arguments = func_get_args();
        $numberOfArguments = func_num_args();

        if (method_exists($this, $function = '__construct'.$numberOfArguments)) {
            call_user_func_array(array($this, $function), $arguments);
        }
    }
   
    public function __construct1($a1)
    {
        echo('__construct with 1 param called: '.$a1.PHP_EOL);
    }
   
    public function __construct2($a1, $a2)
    {
        echo('__construct with 2 params called: '.$a1.','.$a2.PHP_EOL);
    }
   
    public function __construct3($a1, $a2, $a3)
    {
        echo('__construct with 3 params called: '.$a1.','.$a2.','.$a3.PHP_EOL);
    }
}

$o = new Animal('sheep');
$o = new Animal('sheep','cat');
$o = new Animal('sheep','cat','dog');

// __construct with 1 param called: sheep
// __construct with 2 params called: sheep,cat
// __construct with 3 params called: sheep,cat,dog

Kris的解决方案真的很好，但我更喜欢工厂和流畅风格的混合:

<?php

class Student
{

    protected $firstName;
    protected $lastName;
    // etc.

    /**
     * Constructor
     */
    public function __construct() {
        // allocate your stuff
    }

    /**
     * Static constructor / factory
     */
    public static function create() {
        return new self();
    }

    /**
     * FirstName setter - fluent style
     */
    public function setFirstName($firstName) {
        $this->firstName = $firstName;
        return $this;
    }

    /**
     * LastName setter - fluent style
     */
    public function setLastName($lastName) {
        $this->lastName = $lastName;
        return $this;
    }

}

// create instance
$student= Student::create()->setFirstName("John")->setLastName("Doe");

// see result
var_dump($student);
?>

PHP是一种动态语言，因此不能重载方法。你必须像这样检查参数的类型:

class Student 
{
   protected $id;
   protected $name;
   // etc.

   public function __construct($idOrRow){
    if(is_int($idOrRow))
    {
        $this->id = $idOrRow;
        // other members are still uninitialized
    }
    else if(is_array($idOrRow))
    {
       $this->id = $idOrRow->id;
       $this->name = $idOrRow->name;
       // etc.  
    }
}

这里有一种优雅的方法。创建trait，在给定参数数量的情况下启用多个构造函数。你只需将参数的数量添加到函数名“__construct”中。所以一个参数是"__construct1"，两个"__construct2"…等。

trait constructable
{
    public function __construct() 
    { 
        $a = func_get_args(); 
        $i = func_num_args(); 
        if (method_exists($this,$f='__construct'.$i)) { 
            call_user_func_array([$this,$f],$a); 
        } 
    } 
}

class a{
    use constructable;

    public $result;

    public function __construct1($a){
        $this->result = $a;
    }

    public function __construct2($a, $b){
        $this->result =  $a + $b;
    }
}

echo (new a(1))->result;    // 1
echo (new a(1,2))->result;  // 3

嗯，很惊讶我还没有看到这个答案，假设我要参加竞选。

class Action {
    const cancelable    =   0;
    const target        =   1
    const type          =   2;

    public $cancelable;
    public $target;
    public $type;


    __construct( $opt = [] ){

        $this->cancelable   = isset($opt[cancelable]) ? $opt[cancelable] : true;
        $this->target       = isset($opt[target]) ?     $opt[target] : NULL;
        $this->type         = isset($opt[type]) ?       $opt[type] : 'action';

    }
}


$myAction = new Action( [
    Action::cancelable => false,
    Action::type => 'spin',
    .
    .
    .
]);

您可以选择将这些选项分离到它们自己的类中，例如扩展脾。

abstract class ActionOpt extends SplEnum{
    const cancelable    =   0;
    const target        =   1
    const type          =   2;
}
