Is there a shorthand way to set many object properties?
<p>Because I'm lazy I was wondering if PHP has a shorthand way to set properties like this...</p>

<pre><code>with $person_object {
    -&gt;first_name = 'John';
    -&gt;last_name = 'Smith';
    -&gt;email = 'spam_me@this-place.com';
}
</code></pre>

<p>Is there anything like this? Or, is there a lazy way to set properties without having to type <code>$person_object</code> over and over again?</p>
