How do I dynamically write a PHP object property name and set value? [duplicate]

Question

I am using this to set the value.

$gallery = setDateFrom('2023-01-01');

But fields are coming in an array ['dateFrom', 'dateTo']

$classKey = 'set' . ucfirst($key);
$gallery->{$classKey};

I am not able to add date to this property.

I tried $classKey = 'set' . ucfirst($key) . "('$item')";

Can anybody please help?

You looking for calling by dynamic function Name. https://www.php.net/call_user_func_array

<?php
function setDateFrom($val) {
    return 'it works ' . $val;
}

$arr = ['dateFrom', 'dateTo'];

$fnName = "set" . ucfirst($arr[0]);
echo call_user_func_array($fnName, ['test']);

// output: it works test
