PHP - How To Access Method Object In Base Class From Derived Class? Error In My Solut
I have mysqli object in Database class base:
[color=]database class:[/color] class Database { private $dbLink = null; public function __construct() { if (is_null($this->dbLink)) { // load db information to connect $init_array = parse_ini_file("../init.ini.inc", true); $this->dbLink = new mysqli($init_array['database']['host'], $init_array['database']['usr'], $init_array['database']['pwd'], $init_array['database']['db']); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { $this->dbLink = null; } } } public function __destruct() { $this->dbLink->close(); } } Class derived is Articles where I use object dBLink in base (or parent) class and I can't access to mysqli methods (dbLink member of base class): Articles class: require_once ('./includes/db.inc'); class Articles extends Database{ private $id, .... .... $visible = null; public function __construct() { // Set date as 2009-07-08 07:35:00 $this->lastUpdDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); $this->creationDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); } // Setter .... .... // Getter .... .... public function getArticlesByPosition($numArticles) { if ($result = $this->dbLink->query('SELECT * FROM articles ORDER BY position LIMIT '.$numArticles)) { $i = 0; while ($ret = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)) { $arts[$i] = $ret; } $result->close(); return $arts; } } } In my front page php I use article class: include_once('./includes/articles.inc'); $articlesObj = new articles(); $articles = $articlesObj->getArticlesByPosition(1); var_dump($articles); [color=]Error that go out is follow[/color] Notice: Undefined property: Articles::$dbLink in articles.inc on line 89 Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in articles.inc on line 89 If I remove constructor on derived class Articles result don't change Please help me Similar TutorialsI have these two classes: Code: [Select] <?php class A { private $id; public function __construct() { $this->id = '11111'; } public function getProperty($prop) { return $this->$prop; } }?> Code: [Select] <?php class B extends A { private $message = "Nope, can't see it"; public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $this->message = "Yep, I can see it"; } }?> I tried this, but it just outputs the id (the first call) Code: [Select] $class = new B; echo $class->getProperty('id'); echo $class->getProperty('message'); Why is that? I thought I could use a parent method on a child property.. *EDIT* Using a public or protected visibility on the message property gets me the output I expect...how come? I have the code as given below: <?php class ABC { function printValue() { print("This value shall be printed" . $this->x); } } class BCD extends ABC { private $x=10; } $bcd=new BCD; $bcd->printValue(); ?> But when I try to access printValue function from the paren class it gives me error... Fatal error: Cannot access private property BCD::$x in /var/www/html/trainingweb/modules/test/TestAtitProblem.php on line 5 As the public method of ABC would be extended to BCD, it shall have access to its own member. please help... Ok. I know you can pass the object of a class as an argument. Example: class A { function test() { echo "This is TEST from class A"; } } class B { function __construct( $obj ) { $this->a = $obj; } function test() { $this->a->test(); } } Then you could do: $a = new A(); $b = new B($a); Ok so that's one way i know of. I also thought that you could make a method static, and do this: (assuming class A's test is 'static') class B { function test() { A::test(); } } But that is not working. I'd like to know all possible ways of accomplishing this. Any hints are appreciated. thanks If a class has a constructor but also has a static method, if I call the static method does the constructor run so that I can use an output from the constructor in my static method? --Kenoli Hi Can you call Class A's methods or properties from Class B's methods?

I don't know what I can do now , Please try to give me the solutions as soon as possible. Thanks I have two classes: ## Admin.php <?php class Admin { public function __construct() { include("Config.php"); } /** * deletes a client * @returns true or false */ function deleteClient($id) { return mysql_query("DELETE FROM usernames WHERE id = '$id'"); } } ?> ## Projects.php <?php class Projects { public function __construct() { include("Config.php"); $this->admin = $admin; $this->dataFolder = $dataFolder; } /** * Deletes a project * @returns true or false */ function deleteProject($id) { $root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; $theDir = $root . $this->dataFolder; $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM projectData WHERE proj_id = '$id'"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { $mainFile = $row['path']; $thumb = $row['thumbnail']; if ($thumb != 'null') { unlink($theDir . "/" . substr($thumb,13)); } unlink($theDir . "/" . substr($mainFile,13)); } $delete = mysql_query("DELETE FROM projectData WHERE proj_id = '$id'"); $getDir = mysql_query("SELECT proj_path FROM projects WHERE id = '$id'"); $res = mysql_fetch_array($getDir); rmdir($theDir . "/" . $res['proj_path']); return mysql_query("DELETE FROM projects WHERE id = '$id'"); } } ?> How can I call deleteProject() from within Admin.php? Hi people! class FirstOne{ public function FunctionOne($FirstInput){ //do stuff and output value return $value1; } } Then:- class SecondOne{ public function FunctionTwo($AnotherInput){ //do stuff and output value return $value2; } } What I want to know is this, if I want to use FunctionOne() in Class SecondOne do I do it like this:- (Assume as I have instantiated the first class using $Test = new FirstOne(); ) class SecondOne{ function SecondedFunction(){ global $Test; return $Test->FunctionOne(); } public function FunctionTwo($AnotherInput){ //do stuff and output value return $value2; } public function FunctionThree(){ //some code here $this->Test->SecondedFunction();<--I think as I can omit the $this-> reference } } My point is: Do I have to do it this way or is there way of having this done through __construct() that would negate the need for a third party function? I have a version working, I just think that it is a little convoluted in the way as I have done it, so I thought I would ask you guys. Any help/advice is appreciated. Cheers Rw Hey, I'm trying to create an object oriented webpage, with just some basic features, like creating a user, logging in, admin restricted pages. However I'm stuck at this point.

Hi everyone, I get this error: Catchable fatal error: Object of class Category could not be converted to string The code: public static function list_all_cat_names() { $result_array = self::find_by_sql("SELECT name FROM ".self::$table_name); return !empty($result_array) ? array_shift($result_array) : false; } $categories = Category::find_all(); foreach ($categories as $cats): echo $cats; endforeach; Where could be the problem?

Right? If this is correct, how do I do that? I've been trying to solve this for a while now, but still haven't had any luck. What I'm trying to do is this: $class = new BaseClass; $var = $class->load("subclass")->subclass_function("info"); Thanks in advance Ayon
My script has 3 classes (that are relevant to this discussion): DB, User and Validate. They are all in independent files and loaded automatically, when required, by an autoloader.
The error messages I am getting a Any pointers as to what I am doing wrong, or what I should be doing, would be most welcome. I found class on the net, and i am having a bit of a problem to understand how does update method works. Here is the code: Code: [Select] public function update() { global $database; // Don't forget your SQL syntax and good habits: // - UPDATE table SET key='value', key='value' WHERE condition // - single-quotes around all values // - escape all values to prevent SQL injection $attributes = $this->sanitized_attributes(); $attribute_pairs = array(); foreach($attributes as $key => $value) { $attribute_pairs[] = "{$key}='{$value}'"; } $sql = "UPDATE ".self::$table_name." SET "; $sql .= join(", ", $attribute_pairs); $sql .= " WHERE id=". $database->escape_value($this->id); $database->query($sql); return ($database->affected_rows() == 1) ? true : false; } I have form like this to deal with update: Code: [Select] <form action="index.php?page=languages" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST"> <?php foreach($language as $lang){ ?> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="<?php echo $max_file_size; ?>" /> <label>Jezik</label><input type="text" size="50" name="language" value="<?php echo $lang->lang; ?>" /><br> <input type="hidden" name="id_lang" value="<?php echo $lang->id_lang; ?>" /> <label>Slika</label><input type="file" name="image"><?php echo "<img src=\"../images/"; echo $lang->image; echo "\">"; ?> <br> <label>Pozicija</label><input type="text" name="pozicija" value="<?php echo $lang->pozicija; ?>" size="2" /></p> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit_update" value="Unesi"> <?php } ?> </form> and code to start the function: Code: [Select] if(isset($_POST['submit_update'])) { $language = new Jezik(); $language->update(); } What next??? Using this locally works fine: $html = $name::add_content($name, $html); but i get the double colon error whe using it live. $name is a name of a valid class. What could throw this error when it works locally? Hi I have a problem with the following: Code: [Select] <?php class ClassA { public $propertyClassName = "ClassB"; public function methodClassName() { return "ClassB"; } } class ClassB { public function bmethod() { echo "great!"; } } //works $a = new ClassA(); $b = new $a->propertyClassName(); $b->bmethod(); //doesn't work $a = new ClassA(); $b = new $a->methodClassName(); $b->bmethod(); ?> Of course I could do Code: [Select] <?php $a = new ClassA(); $className = $a->methodClassName(); $b = new $className; $b->bmethod(); ?>but isn't there a way to do this without saving the method's return to a variable? Thanks in advance flolam I am having problem with calling class member from with the function in that class. <?php class board { function __construct () { $num_sheep_init=20; $num_lion_init=2; $board_value=array(0=>'', 1=>'', 2=>'', 3=>'', 4=>'', 5=>'', 6=>'', 7=>'', 8=>'', 9=>'', 10=>'', 11=>'', 12=>'', 13=>'', 14=>'', 15=>'', 16=>'', 17=>'', 18=>'', 19=>'', 20=>'', 21=>'', 22=>'', 23=>'', 24=>''); $random_array_value=array (0,1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,11,13,14,15,17,19,20,21,22,23,24); $selected_index=array(); $randd=array(); $countt=0; } function init_board () { $this->board_value['6']="S"; Above is part of the code where i am having problem. It says that it can not access empty property //$this->board_value['6']="S"; HI everyone! So basically I have this class called Login and another class classed Reports. They both extend a main class called OOP. I'm trying to get classes now and in the future, when I add on, to access that class so that way I dont have to create a new object everytime I need to do that. Plus I know I dont want to rely on calling another class inside of one class. Here is an example The Super Class class OOP{ public function Login($pointer){ $Login->{$pointer}(); } public function Reports($pointer){ $Reports->{$pointer}() } } Login Class class Login extends OOP{ public function userLogin($user, $pass){ //Login code here //if error occurs, send it to Reports super::Reports(Error()); } } Reports Class class Reports extends OOP{ public function Error(){ //Send an error here } } Here is how I think I would call the class if a user was to login. $OOP = new OOP(); $OOP->Login(userLogin($user, $pass)); So now when I need to call any class I should be able to, correct? If you are confused about the top, then think of it this way: I am trying to create a class to where I can call or reference to ANY object now or in the future so I can add on and call that class from another class. Thank you for any help. Well in the class UserValidator I have a public method validate(), which checks the validation type and then calls specific private methods to execute the validation script. It gets a bit tricky here since the method validate() has to decide what private method to call. I am thinking about using call_user_func_array(), the script currently looks like this below: Code: [Select] public function validate(){ // The core method validate, it sends requests to different private methods based on the type if(empty($this->type)) throw new Exception('The validation type is empty, something must be seriously wrong...'); if(is_array($this->type) and !is_array($this->value)) throw new Exception('Cannot have scalar value if the type is an array.'); if(!is_array($this->type) and is_array($this->value)) throw new Exception('Cannot have scalar type if the value is an array.'); // Now we are validating our user data or input! $validarray = array("register", "login", "password", "session", "email", "reset", "profile", "contacts", "friends"); foreach($this->type as $val){ $method = "{$val}validate"; if(in_array($val, $validarray)) call_user_func_array(array($this, $method), array()); } } The method to execute depends on the validation type passed into the validator class, so it is somewhat like a dynamic function call. The problem is, well, I am not sure if I am using call_user_func_array() properly. I read it from php manual that it needs to accept a class instance, but there is no such instance inside a class method so I use $this in the argument. Is this the correct way of using call_user_func_array()? If not, how am I supposed to do this? thanks. |
