Bug description: Cannot extract() variables into class scope
Description:
------------
extract() cannot be used inside an object member function to set object
var's. Using extract normally brings the variables into the scope of the
function (as expected), but there is no way to bring array key/value pairs
to object scope without a foreach statement.
It would be nice to specify what scope the variables should be created in,
or even create a different function specifically to set the member
variables of an object.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class MyClass
{
var $m1; // Imagine a class with fifty variables,
var $m2; // Not all of which must be set.
var $m3; // This is why you would want to use extract().
function Init($info)
{
extract($info, EXTR_OVERWRITE); // Doesn't work; extracted to
function scope
extract($info, EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, "$this->"); // Stupid idea; not a
valid variable name
foreach($info as $key => $value)
{
$this->$key = $value; // Works, but ugly
}
}
}
