PHP - Oop Linking Parent/child Classes (and If To Instantiate Or Not)

Code: [Select]
Main Object
(
[Visitor] = Visitor Object
(
[user_info] => Array
(
[username] = user
[user_id] = 1
)
)
[Room] = Room Object
(
[info] = Array(
[id] = 1
[name] = Lobby
)
[messages] = Messages Object
(
[messages] = Array
(
[0] = Array()
)
)
)
)
Is there a way to get the visitor info within the Messages Object?  I'm building it such as $Main = new Main; $Main->Visitor = new Visitor; $Main->Room = new Room; $Main->Room->Messages = new Messages; so they're not static I know that I can pass the $this var through each but that duplicates the class each time and I'm 99% sure that's bad.

Is this an acceptable way to instantiate classes?

//$_SESSION['product'] = {'ProductA', 'ProductB', ... 'ProductX'} 

$p = new $_SESSION['product']();

$p->save();

I am usually used to calling out classes explicitly where class name is not a variable but a hardcoded string.  Sometimes I use if/then/else in order to do this. Here it is a variable and it bothers me a little bit.   But PHP allows me to do this. Is this an acceptable latest & gratest modern PHP object oriented web technology technique or not ?

Hi I am trying to create a hierarchy array from our mysql database.

What i have so far is:

//instantiate DB & connect
$database = new Database();
$db = $database->connect();

//instantiate question object

$question = new Question($db);

//query
    $results = $question->read(); 
   
      //check for data
    if ($results) {

     $question_arr['questions'] = array();
     $child_arr = array();
     
    while ($row = $results->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
        
        array_push($question_arr['questions'], $row);

        $question_arr['questions'][] = buildTree($row);

    }
        print_r($question_arr['questions']);
} else {
    echo json_encode(array('message'=>'nothing here!.'));
}


function buildTree($child) {
    $branch = array();
   foreach ($child as $row) {
    
    $childresults = $question->read_children($row['parentid']); 
    
           while ($childrow =$childresults->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
             
            $children = buildTree($childrow);

            if ($children) {
             $row['children'] = $children;
            }
         
            $branch[] = $childrow;
        }
    }
   //}
    return $branch;
}

in my Questions.php file:

<?php
class Question{
    private $conn;
    public $id;
    public $childid;
    public $parentid;
    public $question;
    public $pageid;
    public $numclicks;
    public $typeid;
    public $date_created;

 
     // Constructor with DB
     public function __construct($db) {
        $this->conn = $db;
      }

   public function read() {
        //create query(sql statement)
      $query = 'SELECT id as parentid, question, pageid, typeid,numclicks,date_created from ct_questions';
      // Prepare statement
      $stmt =$this->conn->prepare($query);
      // Execute query
      $stmt->execute();
      return $stmt;
    }

public function read_children($parentid)
{
//This is from a View I created in Mysql
    $query = 'SELECT parent_question, parentid, parent_pageid, child_question, childid, child_pageid from ct_vquestion_parent_child_lookup where parentid='.$parentid.'';
    // Prepare statement
    $stmt = $this->conn->prepare($query);
  
    // Execute query
    $stmt->execute();
   
    return $stmt;
}
}

 

the current errors i am getting a

<br /> <b>Notice</b>: Undefined variable: question in <b>C:\htdocs\api\questions\read.php</b> on line <b>41</b><br /> <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function read_children() on null in C:\htdocs\api\questions\read.php:41 Stack trace: #0 C:\htdocs\api\questions\read.php(28): buildTree(Array) #1 {main} thrown in <b>C:\htdocs\api\questions\read.php</b> on line <b>41</b><br />

Hello.

i have some code that works with out using parent and child but i dont think im doing it in the correct oop way. would someone maybe please just have a little look for me please.

by the way.. i know im not ment to use global but thats how i was shown to do that on my tutorial videos.. i'll address that in another post

so.
in this example i have this pages class
Code: [Select]
<?PHP
require_once(LIB_PATH.DS.'database.php');

class Pages {

the bit im interested in is this function in the Conttemp class

Code: [Select]
public function find_contTemp($pageID){

$page = Pages::find_by_pageID($pageID);
$pageCID = $page->contTemp_id;

$sql = "SELECT * FROM ".self::$table_name." WHERE id=".$pageCID."";
$result_array = self::find_by_sql($sql);
return !empty($result_array) ? array_shift($result_array) : false;
}


it call a function in from the Pages class.

i could take the function from here and put it in the Pages class i guess but i was wondering about Exends.

should i do class Conttemps extends Pages {

and use something like

Code: [Select]
public function find_contTemp($pageID){

$pageCID= Pages::contTemp_id;


$sql = "SELECT * FROM ".self::$table_name." WHERE id=".$pageCID."";
$result_array = self::find_by_sql($sql);
return !empty($result_array) ? array_shift($result_array) : false;
}

i guess that wont work because its not getting the $pageID

but anyway..

any thoughts ????

thanks
rick
