In PHP it is possible to write to properties without declaring them. For example, the following is perfectly valid PHP code:
class MyClass { } $x = new MyClass(); $x->foo = true;
Generally, it is a good practice to explictly declare properties to avoid accidental typos and provide IDE auto-completion:
class MyClass { public $foo; } $x = new MyClass(); $x->foo = true;
$this->legislatureData = $legislatureData;
$this->country = $country;
public function __toString()
return '<Legislature: '.$this->name.' in '.$this->country->name.'>';
/**

$splitPath = array_slice($splitPath, 1, 2);
return implode('/', $splitPath);
