aggregate_properties_by_regexp — Selective class properties aggregation to an object using a regular expression

Description

void aggregate_properties_by_regexp ( object $object , string $class_name , string $regexp [, bool $exclude = false ] )

Aggregates properties from a class to an existing object using a regular expression to match their names.

The properties whose names start with an underscore character (_), which are considered private to the aggregated class, are always excluded.

Parameters

object
class_name
regexp
exclude: The optional parameter exclude is used to decide whether the regular expression will select the names of class properties to include in the aggregation (i.e. exclude is FALSE), or to exclude from the aggregation (exclude is TRUE).

Return Values

No value is returned.
