PHP - Question About Classes.
I am working on my Pool class (base) and my FootballPool class (derived). I have this as my constructor
Pool.php protected $pid, $uid, $pkid, $name; function __construct($pid, $uid){ $this->pid = $pid; $this->uid = $uid; $this->pkid = $this->pkid(); if(isset($_SESSION['picksInfo']['name'])) $this->name = $_SESSION['picksInfo']['name']; else $this->name = NULL; } Now a function in my FootballPool class needs to call $pid, $uid, and $pkid. How can I do that? I have tried this: Pool::$pid, but then I get this error Quote Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: Pool::$pid in /var/www/core/includes/FootballPool.php on line 31 I am confused, because in the parents constructor, it is set. So basically, how can I call a variable set in the base class from a child or derived class? Similar TutorialsHi everyone, Until now i didnt use classes and functions for sql related actions and now i would like to start. I started out with this : class.php --------------------------------------------------- class db { public function connect($database,$user,$password) { $db = mysql_connect("localhost",$user,$password) or die (mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($database); } static function fetch() { function getresults($query) { $resultArray = array(); $fetch = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($fetch)){ $resultArray[] = $row; } return $resultArray; mysql_free_result($fetch); } } } and index.php ---------------------------- <?php require('class.php'); $connection = new db(); $connection->connect("testdb","root","root"); $connection->fetch()->getresults("SELECT * FROM users"); foreach (getresults() as $user) { echo "<div>{$user['user_first_name']}</div>"; } This may sound like a very stupid question, but I can't find a clear answer anywhere. I'm making my first dive in OOP and all the tutorials only really show basic usage. They define a class, and show how to use it in a file. My question is how does it work to use an object throughout a program? Is it available everywhere or do I store things in sessions and start a new object on each page? For example: logging in a user. If I created an instance after confirming the credentials, would that same instance be available for use in say index.php, or would I just pass a session over and create a new instance on each page? Again, sorry if this seems dumb to some people. Currently I'm learning about objects and classes. I followed a tutorial about making a DB abstraction class (a mySQL select) and then I tried to adapt it and wrote a method to Insert a new name. However, then I had a problem: what if the value already exists in the DB? So I thought maybe I could write a method for that too, and hopefully this would be re-usable for other purposes. So I'm posting the code here and I hope someone could take a look at it, since I do not want to start any bad practices and start a habit of writing sloppy code. Would the code below be considered 'good code'? <?php // This file is called database.php class database { public $mysql; function __construct() { $this->mysql = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', 'password', 'db') or trigger_error('Database connection failed'); } /* Function to check whether value: $queriedName already exists inside table: $table and column: $column */ function findMatch($table, $column, $queriedName) { if ($result = $this->mysql->query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE $column='$queriedName'")) { if (!$numberOfRows=$result->num_rows) { return false; } else { return true; } } } /* Function to select all records from table: $table */ function selectAll($table) { if ($result = $this->mysql->query("SELECT * FROM $table") ) { while($row=$result->fetch_object()) { $nameFields[]=$row->names; } return $nameFields; } } /* Function to insert a name: $newName into table: $table. Uses method finMatch to avoid doubles */ function insertName($table, $newName) { if ($this->findMatch($table, 'names', $newName)) { $result="Person already exists!"; return $result; } else { $result = $this->mysql->query("INSERT INTO $table(names) VALUES ('$newName')"); return $result; } // } } ?> Main page: // This file is called index.php require('database.php'); $newName='Mary Jane'; $result=$myDb->insertname('mytable', $newName); echo $result; Hello, I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for advice. I use a bunch of classes in namespaces that are I'm attempting to organize for autoloading. In other words, a class called \Foo\Package\Class is loaded from the file at Foo\Package\Class.php. I'm using spl_autoload for this. (If I were on 5.2 I could be using underscore-delimited pseudo-namespaces just as well; the implementation detail isn't important) Now, I want to have multiple separate apps that use a single common library. Each app also has some classes that are local to it. How should I solve the autoloading problem? I thought of the following approach. Is it any good? Try autoloading from the common class library If it fails, try autoloading from the app's own local library Part 2 of the question: Within my apps, though, there are two types of classes: library ("vendor") classes that are only being used in that particular app so they don't need to be in the shared library, and app-specific classes that are the core of the app (so they, by definition, don't need to be in any shared library). I'd probably like to keep these two separate, so I'd need to add point #3 to the list above: search in the "core" class hierarchy of the local app. This gives 3 separate locations, and the problem is that they negate the advantages namespaces since there can be overlap. In which case one class will override the other during autoloading. So order of the above list would matter. And time would be wasted looking for a class in the first two places if it's more often in the third. A solution I was considering is sticking to just one central library of classes (and dumping all app-local libraries there). Then, the core classes that belong to one app would be under an \AppName namespace. I'm looking forward to some insights from the experts. How do you guys organize your class libraries? I've been spending long hours learning about classes and their magic methods. I just came across a tutorial which showed a constructor like this:
class Device { //... public function __construct(Battery $battery, $name) { // $battery can only be a valid Battery object $this->battery = $battery; $this->name = $name; // connect to the network $this->connect(); } //... }the Battery part instantly caught my attention. Here had previously made a Battery class (and a more complete Device class) but the next thing he did really caught my interest: $device = new Device(new Battery(), 'iMagic'); // iMagic connected echo $device->name; // iMagicwhat the hell is going on here? Is this another way to include the methods and properties of one class into another class, in order words is this the same thing as: class Device extends BatteryI don't think so because this new Battery() thing looks more like its creating an object inside the Device object. Previously the only way I could to that was to type $battery = new Battery() inside one of my methods. But this looks like hes doing something different. Can anyone explain whats going on here? The whole tutorial is he http://code.tutsplus...-php--net-13085 in the main Device method he has a premade $battery variable to hold the Battery object. Sometimes I have multiple classes containing functions which I'd like to include in my main class. I can only extend one class, so I usually extent a class containing only properties, no methods. I still don't know what difference making that info class abstract is, I'd appreciate if anyone could tell me. Also I'd love to know what the point in static methods is. I've never used them because I've never seen the point. Is it just to make it easier to call the methods because you don't need to create an object instance to call them? Sorry for the extra questions, the first one is what I'm really wondering about. Not sure how to describe what I'm trying to do here in the title, but here goes with what I am trying to accomplish. I've got a few hundred lines of code in total so far, so I'll try to keep it as short as I can. I've got an application that I am programming using classes for each module and right now I am coding the base classes that I need in order for it to run (database, errors, logging, etc). What I'm doing for my database class is I have a query factory and it extends the MySQLi class so I can process, clean and code the rest of my app faster. I also have another, unrelated class "Error", which will be used for processing errors I might come across. I'd rather do it this way instead of having to call trigger_error and error_log every time there is an error. I'd also not like to have to call a new instance of an object every time I need to use something from that class. Is there any way I can call a class within a class and return it as an object for all the methods within the class? I've tried the methods below, but no luck I've tried others, but I'm trying to keep it brief and get what I'm trying to do across. <?php class QueryFactory extends MySQLi { public $err = new error(); //Doesn't work. public $err = error(); //Nope. #This is the function that I need the $err object for. function set($fields, $newvals) { if ( is_array($fields) && is_array($newvals) ) { if ( count($fields) != count($newvals) ) { //Instead of below, I want to do something like $err->('Array lengths must match for method', 256, $islogged = 1); trigger_error('Array lengths must match for method', 256); } } } } The thing is, I have a "run.inc.php" which does include and create new objects for running just the basic app and if I try to redeclare the error class in query.class.php, it gives me an error saying I can't do that, but if i try to call $err from the page that has all the classes defined it throws an error saying that my method is undeclared. I'd like my error class be available to every other class I create so I can display and log errors as needed. Any suggestions or links to point me where I'd like to go? im currently doing a large php project and i am confident i can do it. Its a basic forum like phpbb or mybb where users can download the files and instal. however i have looked through their code and i see they use classes. I have never learned to do classes since i havent had to use them yet. should i be using them now for this project? do i need to? and if so then what are the benefits? Hello, maybe back to basics, but [PHP] pobierz, plaintext If I have defined an instance of a class in one script how do I then use this same instance and the same variable in other scripts? For example say I have this code in a file called "index.php" include("myclass.class.php"); $myclass = new myClass; $myclass->$variable = "hello world"; However if I then have this code in a file called "page1.php" when I try to access the same variable it is empty. include("myclass.class.php"); echo($myclass->$variable) How can I use the same instance of this class across all files keep the variable values the same? Thanks for any help. I have just start using PHP classes and was wondering how you continue an instance of a class in another file. For example I have a folder called "includes" where I includes files that I send data to when I perform ajax request. However how do I continue an instance of class in these files? Hope that makes sense. Thanks for any help. Hi, I want to build a simple calculator class and one of the function is to calculate the factorial, but for some reason I cannot get this to work. Here is class: ========= Code: [Select] <?php class Calculator { function factorial($n) { if($n==1) return 1; else return factorial($n-1)*$n; } }//END CLASS Calculator $calculator=new Calculator(); print $calculator->factorial(3); ?> But it doesn't work, I know this is simple but I am a little rusty with object oriented programming. I'd appreciated any help! Hi there,
This might a newbie question but I need help understanding PHP classes which am currently learning.
I have an index page.
With this three included files.
database.php
config.php
account.php
on database.php, the class is declared using $connection new Database(...), on this page is also all the coding for this class.
In config.php is a declared class of $account new Account($user_id);
and on account.php is all the details for the account class.
on the index.php is echo $account->sayHello;
However, My page is throwing out an error because I'm trying to use $connection->query(..) in my account.php / Account class.
I have tried to extend the Account class with Database but still have no luck.
How can I make sure the I can use a class function from another page in my Account class?
Thanks for reading
How can i get my class to be showed on the front page here is the front page <?php require('ex2.php'); $start = new A(); $tart->Display(); ?> now here is ex2.php <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); class A { public $title = "test1"; public $end = "test2"; } function __set($name, $value) { $this->$name = $value; } function Display() { echo $title; echo $end; } ?> shoudn't this print test1 and test2 ? ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); class A { private function operation1() //only be used inside this class { echo 'operation1 called'; } protected function operation2() //only inside this class { echo 'operation2 called'; } public function operation3() //public can be used in any class { echo 'operation3 called'; } } class B extends A { function _construct() { //$this->operation1(); //$this ->operation2(); $this->operation3(); } } $b = new B; can someone please tell me why this code doesn't work ? Hi. I want to know how I access calsses in PHP. I mean how I search for class that I want and need. do I need to search in php.net? and what editors that provide access the the whole php classes and who they keep updated? Cheers. Hello All, I am fairly new to PHP class development, and I was wondering if it is normal behaviour to see classes not being able to access global variables related to PHP-based requests ($_GET, $_SESSION, etc.)? I seem to either have to use "global <var>" inside of the class to access the data, or I am forced to change the methods so then such required data is passed in as parameters. Perhaps I am just doing something wrong? Here is an example of what I mean: class Something { function aFunc() { if (isset($_SESSION['somedata'])) { return false; } // this always returns false whether I had set the value or not } function bFunc() { global $_SESSION; // figured this would already be in a global accessible scope if (isset($_SESSION['somedata'])) { return false; } // now this will return false only when the value is set } } Now the above example is commented to demonstrate what I was meaning above, and I was wondering if this was the 'norm' when developing classes for PHP (and thus such values should be passed as parameters)? Thanks! Take the following example: <?php class a { var $things; public function __construct($stuff) { $this->things = $stuff; } } class b { var $morethings; $this->morethings = "something"; } $c = new a(new b); echo $c->things->__PARENT__; ?> The line "echo $c->things->__PARENT__;" (as you can probably imagine) does not work. How would I output what the 'b' object is stored in ('a')? hello, all i am trying to learn php, and currently trying to get my head around using classes. i have the following layout: index.php Code: [Select] <?php include("config/autoloader.php"); $content = new content(); $content->get_content(); // loads Content! $content->edit_content(); // Edits Content! ?> <?php $navbars = new navbars(); $navbars->get_navbar1(); // loads navbar1! ?> config/autoloader.php Code: [Select] <?php function spl_register_autoload($content) { include_once("classes/" . $content . ".php"); } function spl_register_autoload($navbars) { include_once("classes/" . $navbars . ".php"); } ?> content.php (content class file) Code: [Select] <?php class content { public function get_content() { echo "Show me the content!"; } public function edit_content() { echo "Edit the content"; } } ?> navbars.php navbars class file Code: [Select] <?php class navbars { public function get_navbar1() { echo "Show me the navbar1!"; } } ?> i keep getting the 500 - internal error on iis, but works on a single class file, as soon as i add more then one i get the error, can someone please help me and explain where i have gone wrong. thanks, all. I have a class that extends my base class as the base class has functions that all classes will need to use. However I have a function in my class that requires an email to be sent and I have a separate class for sending emails. The logical thing to do would be for my class to be an extension of both of these classes. However from what I've read you can do that in PHP so could any recommend as good way to solve this problem? Thanks for any help. |
