从5.4版开始，PHP支持trait。这并不是你真正想要的，但基于特征的简单方法是:

trait StudentTrait {
    protected $id;
    protected $name;

    final public function setId($id) {
        $this->id = $id;
        return $this;
    }

    final public function getId() { return $this->id; }

    final public function setName($name) {
        $this->name = $name; 
        return $this;
    }

    final public function getName() { return $this->name; }

}

class Student1 {
    use StudentTrait;

    final public function __construct($id) { $this->setId($id); }
}

class Student2 {
    use StudentTrait;

    final public function __construct($id, $name) { $this->setId($id)->setName($name); }
}

我们最终得到两个类，每个构造函数一个，这有点适得其反。为了保持理智，我将加入一个工厂:

class StudentFactory {
    static public function getStudent($id, $name = null) {
        return 
            is_null($name)
                ? new Student1($id)
                : new Student2($id, $name)
    }
}

所以，这一切都归结为:

$student1 = StudentFactory::getStudent(1);
$student2 = StudentFactory::getStudent(1, "yannis");

这是一个非常冗长的方法，但它可以非常方便。

你可以这样做:

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

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).

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。

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

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

}
