PHP - Access Different Classes From Another Class

Hi,
when i extend a class containing a private variable and then access the variable in the extended class it doesn't produce any error and works fine and when i access the variable using the object of the extended class it works even then, i think private variable should not be accessable in an extended class neither by object of that extended class
here is the code


<?php

class textbox{

var $body_text, $body_text1;

private $body_private="this is private value";

protected $body_protect="this is protected value";

function __construct($text_in, $text_out){

$this->body_text=$text_in;

$this->body_text1=$text_out;

}

function display(){

echo "$this->body_text<br>";

echo "<i>";

echo "$this->body_text1</i><br>";

echo "$this->body_private<br/>";

echo "$this->body_protect<br/>";

}

function test_new(){

echo "see if this private echo works";

}

}

$box=new textbox("any new value","any old value" );

$box->display();

$box->body_text="this is public thats why i can access it";

$box->body_text1="this is public thats why i can access it";

/*$box->body_private="this is private value changed";   //you will see we can't access the private and protected memebers from outside

$box->body_protect="this is protected value changed"; */

$box->display();

$box->test_new();



class textboxbold extends textbox{

function __construct($text_on, $text_off, $text_get, $text_go)

{$this->body_text=$text_on;

$this->body_text1=$text_off;

$this->body_protect=$text_get;

$this->body_private=$text_go;

}

function display(){

echo "<b>$this->body_text</b><br>";

echo "<b>$this->body_text1</b><br>";

echo "<b>$this->body_protect</b><br>";

echo "<i>$this->body_private</i><br>";

}

}

$boxnew=new textboxbold("new Bold text", "text in bold","protected member","private");

$boxnew->display();

$boxnew->body_private="this is simple text taken from outside";

$boxnew->display();

$boxnew->test_new();

?>


please recommend, is it working as it should be

I 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'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;
// iMagic

what 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 Battery

I 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?

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

Hi

Can you call Class A's methods or properties from Class B's methods?

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?

I have an existing instance of my class Database, now I want to call that instance in my Session class, how would I go about doing this?

Hi,

I need to be able to call a class based on variables.  E.G.

I would normally do:
Code: [Select]
$action = new pattern1()
but i would like to be able to do it dynamicaly:
Code: [Select]
$patNum = 1;
$action = new pattern.$patNum.()
Im wondering if that's possible?  If so what would the correct syntax be?

Many 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

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 ?

Hello,

maybe back to basics, but

  [PHP] pobierz, plaintext

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
