这是我对它的看法(为php 5.6构建)。

它将查看构造函数参数类型(数组，类名，无描述)并比较给定的参数。构造函数必须在最后以最少的特异性给出。例子:

// demo class
class X {
    public $X;

    public function __construct($x) {
        $this->X = $x;
    }

    public function __toString() {
        return 'X'.$this->X;
    }
}

// demo class
class Y {
    public $Y;

    public function __construct($y) {
        $this->Y = $y;
    }
    public function __toString() {
        return 'Y'.$this->Y;
    }
}

// here be magic
abstract class MultipleConstructors {
    function __construct() {
        $__get_arguments       = func_get_args();
        $__number_of_arguments = func_num_args();

        $__reflect = new ReflectionClass($this);
        foreach($__reflect->getMethods() as $__reflectmethod) {
            $__method_name = $__reflectmethod->getName();
            if (substr($__method_name, 0, strlen('__construct')) === '__construct') {
                $__parms = $__reflectmethod->getParameters();
                if (count($__parms) == $__number_of_arguments) {
                    $__argsFit = true;
                    foreach ($__parms as $__argPos => $__param) {
                        $__paramClass= $__param->getClass();
                        $__argVar = func_get_arg($__argPos);
                        $__argVarType = gettype($__argVar);
                        $__paramIsArray = $__param->isArray() == true;
                        $__argVarIsArray = $__argVarType == 'array';
                        // parameter is array and argument isn't, or the other way around.
                        if (($__paramIsArray && !$__argVarIsArray) ||
                            (!$__paramIsArray && $__argVarIsArray)) {
                            $__argsFit = false;
                            continue;
                        }
                        // class check
                        if ((!is_null($__paramClass) && $__argVarType != 'object') ||
                            (is_null($__paramClass) && $__argVarType == 'object')){
                            $__argsFit = false;
                            continue;
                        }
                        if (!is_null($__paramClass) && $__argVarType == 'object') {
                            // class type check
                            $__paramClassName = "N/A";
                            if ($__paramClass)
                                $__paramClassName = $__paramClass->getName();
                            if ($__paramClassName != get_class($__argVar)) {
                                $__argsFit = false;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    if ($__argsFit) {
                        call_user_func_array(array($this, $__method_name), $__get_arguments);
                        return;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        throw new Exception("No matching constructors");
    }
}

// how to use multiple constructors
class A extends MultipleConstructors {
    public $value;

    function __constructB(array $hey) {
        $this->value = 'Array#'.count($hey).'<br/>';
    }
    function __construct1(X $first) {
        $this->value = $first .'<br/>';
    }

    function __construct2(Y $second) {
        $this->value = $second .'<br/>';
    }
    function __constructA($hey) {
        $this->value = $hey.'<br/>';
    }

    function __toString() {
        return $this->value;
    }
}

$x = new X("foo");
$y = new Y("bar");

$aa = new A(array("one", "two", "three"));
echo $aa;

$ar = new A("baz");
echo $ar;

$ax = new A($x);
echo $ax;

$ay = new A($y);
echo $ay;

结果:

Array#3
baz
Xfoo
Ybar

如果没有找到构造函数，可以将其删除并允许构造函数为“空”，而不是终止异常。或者你喜欢什么都行。

public function __construct() {
    $parameters = func_get_args();
    ...
}

$o = new MyClass('One', 'Two', 3);

现在$ parameters将是一个值为'One'， 'Two'， 3的数组。

编辑,

我可以加上

func_num_args()

会给出函数的参数个数。

对于php7，我也比较了参数类型，你可以有两个具有相同数量的参数但不同类型的构造函数。

trait GenericConstructorOverloadTrait
{
    /**
     * @var array Constructors metadata
     */
    private static $constructorsCache;
    /**
     * Generic constructor
     * GenericConstructorOverloadTrait constructor.
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $params = func_get_args();
        $numParams = func_num_args();

        $finish = false;

        if(!self::$constructorsCache){
            $class = new \ReflectionClass($this);
            $constructors =  array_filter($class->getMethods(),
                function (\ReflectionMethod $method) {
                return preg_match("/\_\_construct[0-9]+/",$method->getName());
            });
            self::$constructorsCache = $constructors;
        }
        else{
            $constructors = self::$constructorsCache;
        }
        foreach($constructors as $constructor){
            $reflectionParams = $constructor->getParameters();
            if(count($reflectionParams) != $numParams){
                continue;
            }
            $matched = true;
            for($i=0; $i< $numParams; $i++){
                if($reflectionParams[$i]->hasType()){
                    $type = $reflectionParams[$i]->getType()->__toString();
                }
                if(
                    !(
                        !$reflectionParams[$i]->hasType() ||
                        ($reflectionParams[$i]->hasType() &&
                            is_object($params[$i]) &&
                            $params[$i] instanceof $type) ||
                        ($reflectionParams[$i]->hasType() &&
                            $reflectionParams[$i]->getType()->__toString() ==
                            gettype($params[$i]))
                    )
                ) {
                    $matched = false;
                    break;
                }

            }

            if($matched){
                call_user_func_array(array($this,$constructor->getName()),
                    $params);
                $finish = true;
                break;
            }
        }

        unset($constructor);

        if(!$finish){
            throw new \InvalidArgumentException("Cannot match construct by params");
        }
    }

}

使用它:

class MultiConstructorClass{

    use GenericConstructorOverloadTrait;

    private $param1;

    private $param2;

    private $param3;

    public function __construct1($param1, array $param2)
    {
        $this->param1 = $param1;
        $this->param2 = $param2;
    }

    public function __construct2($param1, array $param2, \DateTime $param3)
    {
        $this->__construct1($param1, $param2);
        $this->param3 = $param3;
    }

    /**
     * @return \DateTime
     */
    public function getParam3()
    {
        return $this->param3;
    }

    /**
     * @return array
     */
    public function getParam2()
    {
        return $this->param2;
    }

    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getParam1()
    {
        return $this->param1;
    }
}

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。

你可以这样做:

public function __construct($param)
{
    if(is_int($param)) {
         $this->id = $param;
    } elseif(is_object($param)) {
     // do something else
    }
 }

按数据类型调用构造函数:

class A 
{ 
    function __construct($argument)
    { 
       $type = gettype($argument);

       if($type == 'unknown type')
       {
            // type unknown
       }

       $this->{'__construct_'.$type}($argument);
    } 

    function __construct_boolean($argument) 
    { 
        // do something
    }
    function __construct_integer($argument) 
    { 
        // do something
    }
    function __construct_double($argument) 
    { 
        // do something
    }
    function __construct_string($argument) 
    { 
        // do something
    }
    function __construct_array($argument) 
    { 
        // do something
    }
    function __construct_object($argument) 
    { 
        // do something
    }
    function __construct_resource($argument) 
    { 
        // do something
    }

    // other functions

}
