title: php create object without class
body: <p>In JavaScript, you can easiliy create an object without a class by:</p>
  <pre><code> myObj = {};
   myObj.abc = &quot;aaaa&quot;;
  </code></pre>
  <p>For PHP I've found this one, but it is nearly 4 years old:

  <pre><code>$obj = (object) array('foo' =&gt; 'bar', 'property' =&gt; 'value');
  </code></pre>
  <p>Now with PHP 5.4 in 2013, is there an alternative to this?</p>
