Just wait until you meet dynamic dynamic variables, nothing more elegant than that... $x=0;$a='x';$b='a'; echo $$$b;

  Haven’t seen that one in the wild. Can that chain just keep going?!

    Not sure how long .. but the chain can be quite long!! $x = 'y'; $y = 'x'; echo $$$$$$$$$$$$$y; I've tested with 1500 `$` and it still works :)

      Good to know that this method scales well ;).

  Lazy coder here : foreach(['a' => closureA, 'b' => closureB, 'c' => closureC] as $name => $toApply) { $myObject->${convertNameToFieldName($name)} = $toApply($something); }

    Too clever by half - a textbook example. This is, in essence, write-only code.
