你总是可以在构造函数中添加一个额外的参数，比如mode，然后对它执行一个switch语句……

class myClass 
{
    var $error ;
    function __construct ( $data, $mode )
    {
        $this->error = false
        switch ( $mode )
        {
            'id' : processId ( $data ) ; break ;
            'row' : processRow ( $data ); break ;
            default : $this->error = true ; break ;
         }
     }

     function processId ( $data ) { /* code */ }
     function processRow ( $data ) { /* code */ }
}

$a = new myClass ( $data, 'id' ) ;
$b = new myClass ( $data, 'row' ) ;
$c = new myClass ( $data, 'something' ) ;

if ( $a->error )
   exit ( 'invalid mode' ) ;
if ( $b->error )
   exit ('invalid mode' ) ;
if ( $c->error )
   exit ('invalid mode' ) ;

Also with that method at any time if you wanted to add more functionality you can just add another case to the switch statement, and you can also check to make sure someone has sent the right thing through - in the above example all the data is ok except for C as that is set to "something" and so the error flag in the class is set and control is returned back to the main program for it to decide what to do next (in the example I just told it to exit with an error message "invalid mode" - but alternatively you could loop it back round until valid data is found).

更现代的方法: 你把独立的类混合成一个，实体和数据水合。 对于你的案例，你应该有两个类:

class Student 
{
   protected $id;
   protected $name;
   // etc.
}
class StudentHydrator
{
   public function hydrate(Student $student, array $data){
      $student->setId($data['id']);
      if(isset($data['name')){
        $student->setName($data['name']);
      }
      // etc. Can be replaced with foreach
      return $student;
   }
}

//usage
$hydrator = new StudentHydrator();
$student = $hydrator->hydrate(new Student(), ['id'=>4]);
$student2 = $hydrator->hydrate(new Student(), $rowFromDB);

另外请注意，您应该使用doctrine或其他已经提供自动实体水合的ORM。 你应该使用依赖注入来跳过手动创建像StudentHydrator这样的对象。

我可能会这样做:

<?php

class Student
{
    public function __construct() {
        // allocate your stuff
    }

    public static function withID( $id ) {
        $instance = new self();
        $instance->loadByID( $id );
        return $instance;
    }

    public static function withRow( array $row ) {
        $instance = new self();
        $instance->fill( $row );
        return $instance;
    }

    protected function loadByID( $id ) {
        // do query
        $row = my_awesome_db_access_stuff( $id );
        $this->fill( $row );
    }

    protected function fill( array $row ) {
        // fill all properties from array
    }
}

?>

然后，如果我想要一个学生，我知道ID:

$student = Student::withID( $id );

或者如果我有一个db行数组:

$student = Student::withRow( $row );

从技术上讲，您不需要构建多个构造函数，而只是静态帮助方法，但是这样可以避免构造函数中的大量意大利面条代码。

我知道我在这方面非常晚，但我提出了一个相当灵活的模式，应该允许一些真正有趣和通用的实现。

像往常一样设置类，使用您喜欢的任何变量。

class MyClass{ protected $myVar1; protected $myVar2; public function __construct($obj = null){ if($obj){ foreach (((object)$obj) as $key => $value) { if(isset($value) && in_array($key, array_keys(get_object_vars($this)))){ $this->$key = $value; } } } } } When you make your object just pass an associative array with the keys of the array the same as the names of your vars, like so... $sample_variable = new MyClass([ 'myVar2'=>123, 'i_dont_want_this_one'=> 'This won\'t make it into the class' ]); print_r($sample_variable); The print_r($sample_variable); after this instantiation yields the following: MyClass Object ( [myVar1:protected] => [myVar2:protected] => 123 ) Because we've initialize $group to null in our __construct(...), it is also valid to pass nothing whatsoever into the constructor as well, like so... $sample_variable = new MyClass(); print_r($sample_variable); Now the output is exactly as expected: MyClass Object ( [myVar1:protected] => [myVar2:protected] => ) The reason I wrote this was so that I could directly pass the output of json_decode(...) to my constructor, and not worry about it too much. This was executed in PHP 7.1. Enjoy!

Kris的回答很好，但正如Buttle Butku评论的那样，新的static()将在PHP 5.3+中被首选。

所以我会这样做(根据克里斯的回答修改):

<?php

class Student
{
    public function __construct() {
        // allocate your stuff
    }

    public static function withID( $id ) {
        $instance = new static();
        $instance->loadByID( $id );
        return $instance;
    }

    public static function withRow( array $row ) {
        $instance = new static();
        $instance->fill( $row );
        return $instance;
    }

    protected function loadByID( $id ) {
        // do query
        $row = my_awesome_db_access_stuff( $id );
        $this->fill( $row );
    }

    protected function fill( array $row ) {
        // fill all properties from array
    }
}

?>

用法:

<?php

$student1 = Student::withID($id);
$student2 = Student::withRow($row);

?>

我还在php.net OOP文档中找到了一个有用的例子。

我创建这个方法是为了让它不仅在构造函数中使用，而且在方法中使用:

我的构造函数:

function __construct() {
    $paramsNumber=func_num_args();
    if($paramsNumber==0){
        //do something
    }else{
        $this->overload('__construct',func_get_args());
    }
}

我的doSomething方法:

public function doSomething() {
    $paramsNumber=func_num_args();
    if($paramsNumber==0){
        //do something
    }else{
        $this->overload('doSomething',func_get_args());
    }
}

两者都使用这个简单的方法:

public function overloadMethod($methodName,$params){
    $paramsNumber=sizeof($params);
    //methodName1(), methodName2()...
    $methodNameNumber =$methodName.$paramsNumber;
    if (method_exists($this,$methodNameNumber)) {
        call_user_func_array(array($this,$methodNameNumber),$params);
    }
}

所以你可以声明

__construct1($arg1), __construct2($arg1,$arg2)...

or

methodName1($arg1), methodName2($arg1,$arg2)...

等等。

使用时:

$myObject =  new MyClass($arg1, $arg2,..., $argN);

它将调用__constructN，在那里你定义了N个参数

然后 $myObject -> doSomething($arg1， $arg2，..), argM美元)

它会调用doSomethingM，在这里你定义了M个参数;
