PHP magic method used in conjunction with `var_export()` to allow objects to be re-instantiated with their pre-existing properties and values intact. This method can be called statically on any class that extends `Object` to return an instance of it.

Parameters

  • array $data An array of properties and values with which to re-instantiate the object. These properties can be both public and protected.

Returns

object Returns an instance of the requested object with the given properties set.
