PHP - In Php Oop Is It A Must To Use All Of The Methods In An Abstract Class Or Just Some?
I can't find an explicit answer on this anywhere, but when you create a child class from an abstract class must you use ALL of the methods that are inside the abstract class in the new child class? Or are these methods just available to the child class to pick and choose?
Similar TutorialsWell the title may seem a bit confusing, but heres an example: Code: [Select] <?php class User{ public $uid; public $username; protected $password; protected $email; public $usergroup; public $profile; public function __construct($id){ // constructor code inside } public function getemail(){ return $this->email; } public function getusergroup(){ return $this->usergroup; } public function getprofile(){ $this->profile = new UserProfile($this->uid); } } class UserProfile(){ protected $avatar; protected $bio; protected $gender; protected $favcolor; public function __construct($id){ // constructor code inside } public function formatavatar(){ // avatar formatting code inside } public function formatusername(){ // format username? } } ?> As you can see, the User class(an outer class) has a property called Profile, which can be instantiated as a UserProfile object(an inner class). The two objects have distinct functionalities, but there are times when the UserProfile object needs to access property and methods from the user object. I know its easy for outer class to access methods from inner class by using the single arrow access operator twice, but how about the other way around? Lets say from the above example the userprofile can format the username displayed to the screen by adding a sun to the left of the username if the usergroup is admin, a moon if the usergroup is mod, and nothing if its just a member. The usergroup property is stored in the outer class, and can be accessed with this $user->getusergroup() method only. I know I can always do the hard way by passing a user object to the method's argument, but is there an easier way for the inner class UserProfile to access properties/methods for outerclass User? If so, how can I achieve that? Can someone help me understand this code... Quote abstract class FormCollection{ protected $fields = $_POST; protected $validator; protected function __construct($validator){ $this->validator = $validator; } } Questions: ---------------- 1.) If an Abstract Class cannot be instantiated, then how can there be Properties? 2.) I guess $fields is supposed to be an array? How do I know that? Isn't there a way to do "type hinting" or whatever? 3.) What data-type is $validator? TomTees Hi Can you call Class A's methods or properties from Class B's methods? Thanks. I am seriously trying to wrap my head around abstract classes, but the more I try to understand it the more I get confused.
I've even dug out a book by Larry Ullman to no avail.
Here's the example in the book:
Shape abstract class
<?php # Script 6.1 - Shape.php
/* This page defines the Shape abstract class.
* The class contains no attributes.
* The class contains to abstract methods.
* - getArea()
* - getPerimeter()
*/
abstract class Shape {
// No Attributes to declare.
// No constructor or destructor defined here.
// Method to calculate and return the area.
abstract protected function getArea();
// Method to calculate and return the perimeter.
abstract protected function getPerimeter();
} // End of Shape Class.
Triangle class:
<?php # Script 6.2 - Triangle.php
/* This page defines the Triangle class.
* The class contains two attributes:
* - private $_sides (array)
* - private $_perimeter (number)
* The class contains three methods.
* - __construct()
* - getArea()
* - getPerimeter()
*/
class Triangle extends Shape {
// Declare the attributes:
private $_sides = array();
private $_perimeter = NULL;
// Constructor:
function __construct($s0 = 0, $s1 = 0, $s2 = 0) {
// Store the values in the array:
$this->_sides[] = $s0;
$this->_sides[] = $s1;
$this->_sides[] = $s2;
// Calculate the perimeter:
$this->_perimeter = array_sum($this->_sides);
} // End of constructor.
// Method to calculate and return the area:
public function getArea() {
// Calculate and return the area:
return (SQRT(
($this->_perimeter/2) *
(($this->_perimeter/2) - $this->_sides[0]) *
(($this->_perimeter/2) - $this->_sides[1]) *
(($this->_perimeter/2) - $this->_sides[2])
));
} // End of getArea() method.
// Method to return the perimeter:
public function getPerimeter() {
return $this->_perimeter;
} // End of getPerimeter() method.
} // End of Triangle Class.
and to execute in finding the area and perimeter of a triangle:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Abstract Class</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php # Script 6.3 - abstract.php
// This page uses the Triangle class - (Script 6.2), which is derived from Shape (Script 6.1)
// load the class definitions:
require('Shape.php');
require('Triangle.php');
// Set the triangle's sides:
$side1 = 5;
$side2 = 10;
$side3 = 13;
// Print a little introduction:
echo "<h2>With sides of $side1, $side2, and $side3...</h2>\n";
// Create a new triangle:
$t = new Triangle($side1, $side2, $side3);
// Print the area.
echo '<p>The area of the triangle is ' . $t->getArea() . '</p>';
// Print the perimeter.
echo '<p>The perimeter of the triangle is ' . $t->getPerimeter() . '</p>';
// Delete the object:
unset($t);
?>
</body>
</html>
What is the point of having an abstract class when it runs fine without it being declared? For example I can take out extends Shape in the Triangle class and it will work just fine? I don't know if If I will ever understand this concept of abstract and interface classes....
Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks John
OK, I fooled around with it some more and took out the include('Shape.php') and it spat an out an error stating it wasn't found. So is an abstract class just forcing a person to adhere to the methods being declared in the abstract class? (I'm probably not explaining this right).
Edited by Strider64, 03 October 2014 - 10:55 AM. Would someone help me out with Abstract Classes and Interfaces... Some questions... 1.) When you have an Interface with Methods, then any Concrete Class that "implements" said Interface must include all of the listed Methods, correct? 2.) When you have an Abstract Class with Properties & Methods, are you required to use all of the listed Properties & Methods similar to how an Interface works? 3.) What is the intent of using Abstract Classes vs. Interfaces? TomTees I was given the snippet below and am trying to figure some things out... abstract class FormCollection{ protected $fields = $_POST; protected $validator; protected function __construct($validator){ $this->validator = $validator; } // and so on... } class RegistrationForm extends FormCollection{ private $formInputs = array(); // and so on... } Questions: ----------------- 1.) If I instantiate the concrete class, RegistrationForm, like this... $form = new RegistrationForm(new Validator()); What does that do to the abstract class, FormCollection? Is it getting instantiated too? 2.) I thought you could NOT instantiate an abstract class like FormCollection? 3.) If you can't, then why is there a constructor in the abstract class like FormCollection? 4.) This code seems wrong... protected $fields = $_POST; I was told by somene that PHP doesn't allow you to assign values to a class method at compile time unless the values come from a constant?! TomTees I've been searching high and low for some decent (actually, they can be crap, just be REAL) real-world examples of uses of abstract classes and interfaces. I've seen many design patterns, and I get the concept, but now I need to put them into practice. And I gotta say, I'm absolutely sick of class Animal, class Dog extends Animal, class Vehicle, class Van extends Vehicle examples. Those are CRAP for illustrating real uses of the functionality given to us by OOP. It's one thing to teach a concept, and it's another to put into use within a real application. I can only find the former and the not the latter. Does anyone have any links to, or can they post their own examples of, abstract classes and interfaces in use? hey guys im wdondering if there's a magic method which works like
__GET()but allows you to put a parameter in...thank you
<?php
class test
{
public function run()
{
$this->object->('string');
// __get with parameter?
}
public function __get($value)
{
return $this->{$value}
}
}
?>
I don't know if this belongs here; sorry if it doesn't. I'm using a method=get on a form as I need to pass information through a URL once the form has been submitted. But I also need to INSERT some data from that form to multiple tables. - How can I stop the GET from passing my other variables into the URL? - How do I make the form submit to itself? I need to use the 'index.php?p=checkout' as this matches with a switch statement, which matches to the checkout page. The function PHP_SELF will just refresh to the index.php page, which will not have any of this checkout's page validation. Here's my code: Code: [Select] <h2>Please enter your details</h2> <h3>All fields required</h3> <div id="checkout"> <?php if (isset($_GET['checkout'])){ require_once ('./includes/connectvars.php'); $title = $_GET['title']; $fname = $_GET['fname']; $sname = $_GET['sname']; $ctype = $_GET['ctype']; $cnumber = md5($_GET['cnumber']); $syear = $_GET['smonth'] . $_GET['syear']; $fyear = $_GET['fmonth'] . $_GET['fyear']; $service = $_GET['cardAuth']; $amount = $_REQUEST[$total]; $msg = rand(1000,9999); $api = 'd41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e'; $b_house = $_GET['b_house']; $b_postcode = $_GET['b_postcode']; $b_city = $_GET['b_city']; $b_country = $_GET['b_country']; $d_house = $_GET['d_house']; $d_postcode = $_GET['d_postcode']; $d_city = $_GET['d_city']; $d_country = $_GET['d_country']; $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME); $query = "INSERT INTO customer (cust_id, first_name, last_name) VALUES ('', '$fname', '$sname') "; $query = "INSERT INTO bill (cust_id) VALUES ('') "; $query = "INSERT INTO deliver (cust_id) VALUES ('') "; mysqli_query($dbc, $query); } //.'service='.$service.'msg_id='.$msg.'num_md5='.$cnumber.'amount='.$amount.'currency=GBP'.'api_key='.$api. ?> <form method="get" action="index.php?p=checkout"> <table> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="cardAuth" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> Title: </td> <td> <select name="title" value="<?php if (!empty($title)) echo $title; ?>" > <option></option> <option>Mr</option> <option>Sir</option> <option>Ms</option> <option>Miss</option> <option>Mrs</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> First Name: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="fname" value="<?php if (!empty($fname)) echo $fname; ?>"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Surname: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="sname" value="<?php if (!empty($sname)) echo $sname; ?>"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Card Type: </td> <td> <select name="ctype" value="<?php if (!empty($ctype)) echo $ctype; ?>"> <option>mastercard</option> <option>visa</option> <option>amex</option> <option>solo</option> <option>maestro</option> <option>jcb</option> <option>diners</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Card Number: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="cnumber" value="<?php if (!empty($cnumber)) echo $cnumber; ?>"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Valid From: </td> <td> <select name="smonth" value="<?php if (!empty($smonth)) echo $smonth; ?>"> <option>01</option> <option>02</option> <option>03</option> <option>04</option> <option>05</option> <option>06</option> <option>07</option> <option>08</option> <option>09</option> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> <option>12</option> </select> <select name="syear" value="<?php if (!empty($syear)) echo $syear; ?>"> <option>07</option> <option>08</option> <option>09</option> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Expires End: </td> <td> <select name="fmonth" value="<?php if (!empty($fmonth)) echo $fmonth; ?>"> <option>01</option> <option>02</option> <option>03</option> <option>04</option> <option>05</option> <option>06</option> <option>07</option> <option>08</option> <option>09</option> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> <option>12</option> </select> <select name="fyear" value="<?php if (!empty($fyear)) echo $fyear; ?>"> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> <option>12</option> <option>13</option> <option>14</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><h4>Billing Address</h4></td> </tr> <tr> <td> House Name/ Number: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="b_house" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Postcode </td> <td> <input type="text" name="b_postcode" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> City: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="b_city" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Country: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="b_country" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><h4>Delivery Address</h4></td> </tr> <tr> <td> House Name/ Number: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="d_house" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Postcode </td> <td> <input type="text" name="d_postcode" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> City: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="d_city" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Country: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="d_country" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <input type="submit" name="checkout" value="Checkout"/> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> what are magic methods? when do we need to use magic methods? what are the advantages of using magic methods? thanks in advanced.

Let's say when I try to get an attribute that doesn't have any value, a method gets called that gives that attribute a value. So I want a method to be triggered when I try to get a value from an attribute that doesn't have any value. Hi, I'm new to php and am attempting to build a site where the navigation and content is built with query functions. My current tables in my database are Categories, Products, and Variation. So a person chooses a category -> then a product -> then a product page shows variations for that product. The problem I am currently having is after when a person selects a section the previous section selected is reset. So lets a person selects a category the product list is shown, but when a person selects a product, the category is no longer selected in the navigation. Or if someone selects product and sees all the variations, if he selects a variation the product ID is reset. I've tried to comb through the internet for some type of solution. I came across concatenating URL encode, but am not sure if this is the correct solution. I tried concatenating one of my urls with Code: [Select] "<a href=\"product_detail.php?cat=" . urlencode($sel_cat["id"]) . '&' . "product=" . urlencode($sel_product['id']) . '&' . "var=" . urlencode($var["id"]) . "\" its a bit of a stab in the dark. My $_GET function is Code: [Select] function find_selected_product() { global $sel_cat; global $sel_product; global $sel_var; if (isset($_GET['cat'])) { $sel_cat = get_cat_by_id($_GET['cat']); } elseif (isset($_GET['product'])) { $sel_cat = NULL; $sel_product = get_product_by_id($_GET['product']); } elseif (isset($_GET['product'])) { $sel_product = get_product_by_id($_GET['product']); $sel_var = get_default_var($sel_product['id']); } elseif (isset($_GET['var'])) { $sel_product = NULL; //test $sel_var = get_variation_by_id($_GET['var']); } else { $sel_cat = NULL; $sel_product = NULL; $sel_var = NULL; } } My navigation code is Code: [Select] function public_navigation($sel_cat, $public = true) { $output = "<td class=\"c1\"><div class=\"sidenav\"><ul>"; $cat_set = get_all_cats($public); while ($cat = mysql_fetch_array($cat_set)) { $output .= "<li>"; if ($cat["id"] == $sel_cat['id']) { $output .= "<a class=\"current\""; } $output .= "<a href=\"index.php?cat=" . urlencode($cat["id"]) . "\">{$cat["cat_name"]}</a></li>"; } $output .= "</ul>"; return $output; } My product is divided into gender and is written like Code: [Select] function cat_content_ladies($sel_cat, $sel_product, $female = true) { $output = "<ul class=\"regions\">"; $cat_set = get_all_cats($female); while ($cat = mysql_fetch_array($cat_set)) { if ($cat["id"] == $sel_cat['id']) { $product_set = get_products_for_female($cat["id"], $female); $output .= "<tr>"; while ($product = mysql_fetch_array($product_set)) { if ($cat["id"] == $sel_cat['id']) { $output .= "<tr>"; $output .= "<div class=\"pre\"><a href=\"product_detail.php?product=" . urlencode($product["id"]) . "\"></li>"; $output .= "<img src=\"{$product["img_src"]}\" height=\"121\" width=\"121\">"; $output .= "<div>{$product["prod_name"]}</a></div>"; } } $output .= "</tr>"; } } return $output; } My variation table is set up in thumb nails and is written in this function Code: [Select] function show_thumb($sel_product, $sel_var, $public = true) { $output = "<ul class=\"subjects\">"; $product_set = get_all_products($public); while ($product = mysql_fetch_array($product_set)) { $output .= "<li"; if ($product["id"] == $sel_product['id']) { $output .= " class=\"selected\""; } //$output .= "><a href=\"product_detail.php?product=" . urlencode($product["id"]) . //"\">{$product["id"]}</a></li>"; if ($product["id"] == $sel_product['id']) { $var_set = get_variations_for_product($product["id"], $public); $output .= "<ul class=\"pages\">"; while ($var = mysql_fetch_array($var_set)) { $output .= "<li"; if ($var["id"] == $sel_var['id']) { $output .= " class=\"selected\""; } $output .= "><a href=\"product_detail.php?var=" . urlencode($var["id"]) . "\">{$var["id"]}</a></li>"; } $output .= "</ul>"; } } $output .= "</ul>"; return $output; } any light on this subject would be greatly appreciated. I just have a quick question, what happens if I don't assign a visibility element to methods? In other words, if I just have: [php] class Article_model { public $data; function index() { return $data; } [php] ...instead of declaring public, private, static, and so on before the function. Will php just consider it public? So, I'm starting a new project and thought I would try a new approach at loading files and classes to process output. I think my logic is correct, but for some reason I'm getting a blank page. Basically instead of having seperate pages to output different functions and such, I store everything in one page. It's the same deal as the switch case approach, but it uses a foreach loop to cycle through the actions, classes, and functions which are stored in an array. Here's my index.php file: Code: [Select] <?php require('config.php'); include('languages/english.php'); include('classes/Template.php'); $template = new Template; $viewPages = array( 'category' => array('classfile' => 'Category.php', 'classname' => 'category', 'functions' => array('create', 'delete', 'modify', 'merge')), 'questions' => array('classfile' => 'Question.php', 'classname' => 'Question', 'functions' => array('create', 'delete', 'modify', 'votegood', 'votebad')) ); $currentPage = $_REQUEST['action']; foreach($viewPages as $action => $settings){ if($currentPage == $action){ require(INCLUDE_ROOT.'/classes/'.$settings['classfile']); $class = new $settings['classname']; $function = $_REQUEST['do']; $class->$function(); $template->loadTemplate($settings['classname']->viewFile, $vars = array()); if($template->message == FALSE){ die($template->message); } } } ?> Here's the Template class file: Code: [Select] <?php class Template { var $file; var $vars; var $message; function loadTemplate($file, $vars){ if(empty($file) || empty($vars)){ $this->message = LANG_ERR_7; } else if($file = file_get_contents(INCLUDE_ROOT.'/'.$file)){ $this->message = LANG_ERR_7; } else { foreach($vars as $key => $val) $file = str_replace('{'.$key.'}', $val, $file); } $this->message = FALSE; return $file; } } ?> I tried visiting the category action(index.php?action=category;do=create). This is the classfile for that Code: [Select] <?php class category { var $id; var $title; var $description; var $uri; var $message = array(); var $vars = array(); var $viewFile = ''; function create(){ if($_POST['submit']){ //Review the user input and make ure everything is ok $messages = array(); if($this->title == FALSE){ $messages['title'] = LANG_ERR_1; } else if(strlen($this->title) > 30 || strlen($this->title < 5)){ $messages['title'] = LANG_ERR_2; } else if($this->description == FALSE){ $messages['description'] = LANG_ERR_3; } else if(strlen($this->description) > 400 || strlen($this->description) < 10){ $messages['description'] = LANG_ERR_4; } else { $messages = FALSE; } if($messages != FALSE){ $this->messages = $messages; $this->viewFile = INCLUDE_ROOT.'/template/index_body.tpl'; } else { $this->title = htmlentities($this->title); $this->title = stripslashes($this->title); $this->title = htmlspecialchars($this->title); $this->description = htmlentities($this->description); $this->description = htmlspecialchars($this->description); $this->description = nl2br($this->description); $query = " INSERT INTO categories (c_title, c_desc) VALUES('".$this->title."', '".$this->desscription."')"; if(mysql_query($query)){ $this->message['succes'] = LANG_ERR_5; } else { $this->message['fail'] = LANG_ERR_6; } $this->viewFile = INCLUDE_ROOT.'/template/message_body.tpl'; } } else { $this->viewFile = INCLUDE_ROOT.'/template/create_category.tpl'; } } } ?> Now if you look at the Category class, the template file it sets is the "category_create.tpl" file, which I haven't created yet. I'm expecting there to be an error associated with the template class and the file_get_contents function that calls the file, but like I said, I'm just getting a blank page. I've never tried this approach before, so I have no idea what's causing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. hello, i have been following the php.net oop manual but im having a little trouble understanding something. on this page in the manual: http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php it shows this code and if i seperate it out i cant get it to echo the results i want. what am i doing wrong? i have added a little extra code . class Bear Code: [Select] class Bear { // define properties public $name; public $weight; public $age; public $sex; public $colour; // constructor public function __construct() { $this->name = "winny the poo"; $this->weight = 100; $this->age = 0; $this->sex = "male"; $this->colour = "brown"; } // define methods public function eat($units) { echo $this->name." is eating ".$units." units of food... <br/>"; $this->weight += $units; } public function run() { echo $this->name." is running... <br/>"; } public function kill() { echo $this->name." is killing prey... <br/>"; } public function sleep() { echo $this->name." is sleeping... <br/>"; } } class PolarBear Code: [Select] class PolarBear extends Bear { // constructor public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $this->colour = "white"; $this->weight = 600; } function polarbar() { // Note: the next line will issue a warning if E_STRICT is enabled. Bear::bear(); } // define methods public function swim() { echo $this->name." is swimming... "; } } now if i try to get back the results i have trouble. this is fine Code: [Select] $bear = new Bear(); $bear->eat($units); $bear->eat(); $bear->run(); $bear->kill(); $bear->sleep(); that echos back Quote //THE BEAR winny the poo is eating 5 units of food... winny the poo is eating units of food... winny the poo is running... winny the poo is killing prey... winny the poo is sleeping... //THE POLAR BEAR winny the poo is eating 5 units of food... winny the poo is eating units of food... winny the poo is running... winny the poo is killing prey... winny the poo is sleeping... winny the poo is swimming... THAT FINE but how come i can echo out each of the properties? why do these ways not work? Code: [Select] Bear::eat($units); Bear::eat(); Bear::run(); Bear::kill(); Bear::sleep(); or Code: [Select] $bear = new Bear(); $bear->$name; $bear->$weight; $bear->$age; $bear->$sex; $bear->$colour; or Code: [Select] echo Bear::eat($units); echo Bear::eat(); echo Bear::run(); echo Bear::kill(); echo Bear::sleep(); or Code: [Select] $bear = new Bear(); echo $bear->$name; echo $bear->$weight; echo $bear->$age; echo $bear->$sex; echo $bear->$colour; and the same goes for PolarBear if i try and get back any of the properties on a page i get nothing ??? i even tried putting it in a loop and that didnt work Code: [Select] $bear = new Bear(); foreach ($bear as $bears){ echo $bears->$name; echo $bears->$weight; echo $bears->$age; echo $bears->$sex; echo $bears->$colour; } whats wrong. why cant i get any results from these ? thanks I have a class that has the __get and __set magic methods defined. The idea is to use those to communicate with the __get and __set methods in a database table object which is a protected attribute of this class. Then I can quickly build out models without having to bother with method definitions aside from those that need modifications made to the data before saving. The problem is, they don't seem to be doing anything. I get an undefined function error the first time I call getVarx(). I don't actually have any of the attributes I'm trying to get and set defined in the object, but I thought that was the point of these magic methods. Am I missing something here? Thanks, Brandon Hi there, I am working on a PHP ecommerce website. I am going to install SSL on few of the pages. I need to install it on Apache web server coz thats the server our PHP website is running on. How we do go about installing SSL on PHP website. Can anybody please guide me in the right direction. All comments and feedback are always welcomed. Thank you! Hi PhpFreaks, I have a method that I need to be initialised dynamically and I am not sure if the code below will work I have been able to workout if the method exists but I have not found a way to it get to return the array. Has anyone go any ideas?
