SYNOPSIS
void aggregate_properties_by_regexp (object $object, string $class_name, string $regexp, [bool $exclude = false]) DESCRIPTION
Aggregates properties from a class to an existing object using a regular expression to match their names. The properties whose names start with an underscore character (_), which are considered private to the aggregated class, are always excluded. PARAMETERS
o $object - o $class_name - o $regexp - o $exclude - The optional parameter $exclude is used to decide whether the regular expression will select the names of class properties to include in the aggregation (i.e. $exclude is FALSE), or to exclude from the aggregation ($exclude is TRUE).

No value is returned. SEE ALSO
