PHP - Passing Arrays Between Functions

I everyone, I'm developing a small MVC framework for my personal work, now, in order to have access from all the classes to certain variables I've created a registry class, for this to work I have 2 options:
1.- passing every time the registry object to the constructor class(controllers, models, etc)
or
2.- create in the registry static set and get so I can reach the variables by Registry::set(name, value) and Registry::get(name)

My question is, which one of this two options takes less resources(is faster)?

I hope anyone can help me with this, thanks in advance

I have a script I am putting together that simulate a cricket game. The only issue is, that there are a huge number of functions because there doesn't seem to be any other way to do this properly. As well as this, there a while() loop and all this seems to be leading to the page reaching a max 30 second timeout when generating the result.

My code is attached below, it is quite messy at the moment because i've just be working on it, but I was wondering if anyone has any solutions of how I can speed this up or change to prevent a timeout:

Please help... i REALLLLD need help with this.. ask questions if you want to know more about what i am trying to do... thanks!

I'm having troubling with trying to create a function to spit out a single array with the following array. I can write it in a away that looks through the arrays manually. 

the results i am trying to generate is that each item in generated array.

Array to convert

array(
    "account" => array(
        "login",
        "register",
        "logout",
        "edit",
    ),
    "p" => array( 
        "report",
    ),
    "array1.0" => array( 
        "array2.0" => array(
            "array3.0",
            "array3.1
        ),
        "array2.1",
    ),

generating the array will look like this

 

Array ( 
[0] => account 
[1] => account/login 
[2] => account/register 
[3] => account/logout 
[4] => account/edit 
[5] => p 
[6] => p/report 
[7] => array1.0 
[8] => array1.0/array2.0
[9] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.0
[10] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.1
[11] => array1.0/array2.1

)

The idea is that id generates a single array with combined labels and arrays inside, etc. I just can't figure out how to create a script that will create this array even If I add a new value or array. 

 

I teaching myself php, but I am coming from java and other compiled languages, so the process has been a little bumpy. I am trying to do something like this:

Code: [Select]
class my_class
{

  function one ()
  {
     $two = two ();

     $three = three ();

     $five = $two + $three;

     return $five;
  }

  function two ()
  {
     $two = 2;

    return $two;
  }
 
  function three ()
  {
     $three = 3;

     return $three;
  }
}


Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message saying that my call to two () is an undefined function. I am gathering from this that the scope of one () is not aware of the existence of two (). Is there a way to get around this so I can call two () and three () from one ()?

I have two arrays, both with the same key values. I'd like to combine them. So for instance...

Code: [Select]
<?php
$array1['abcd'] = array( 'value1' => "blah", 'value2' => "blahblah");
$array1['efgh'] = array( 'value1' => "ha", 'value2' => "haha", 'valuex' => "xyz");

$array2['abcd'] = array('value3' => "three", 'value4' => "four");
$array2['efgh'] = array( 'value3' => "hohoho", 'value6' => "six6");

function combine_arrays($array1,$array2)
{

//*combining*
return $single_array;
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r(combine_arrays($array1,$array2));
echo "</pre>";

/*
would produce 

['abcd'] = ( 'value1'  => "blah",
                 'value2'  => "blahblah",
                 'value3'  => "three",
                 'value4'  => "four" )

['efgh'] = ( 'value1' => "ha",
                 'value2' => "haha",
                'valuex'  => "xyz",
                'value3' => "hohoho",
                'value6' => "six6" )
*/
?>
What's the easiest way to do this?

Code: [Select]
<?php 
$parentesco .=' 

<ul><li><a href="children.php?category_id='.$idc.'&name= '. $name2 . '">'. $name. ' </a></li></ul>'; ?>
in the url string $idc is passing but $name2 is not. $name2 is pickup from a query, I echo that value everywhere in the code and it echo its value but is not passing so how.

Help

I have some function or method.  Is there a better design patter to implement this?

function myFunction($a=null,$b=null,$c=null,$d=null,$e=null,$f=null,$g=null,$h=null)
{
   //Do a bunch of stuff
}

Maybe the second function?

function myNewFunction($data=array())
{
   $data=array_merge(array('a'=>null,'b'=>null,'c'=>null,'d'=>null,'e'=>null,'f'=>null,'g'=>null,'h'=>null),$array);
   //Do a bunch of stuff
}

Please provide decision making factors why you would use one approach over the other.

i am wondering what the '@' is used for when used in front of a function like


Function(@$VAR);


What is the benefit of the @?

When in OOP I have been watching tutorials and some have functions just written like Code: [Select]
class user
{
 public $user;

 public function __construct($u)
 {
   $this->user = $u;
 }

}
do I need to type public before the function or is it better practice to just put

Code: [Select]
class user
{
 public $user;

 function __construct($u)
 {
   $this->user = $u;
 }

}


Thanks!

OK, so if I've got this in my one of my class files:
public function userr($user)
{

$thisquery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='". $user ."'");
if(mysql_num_rows($thisquery) == 1)
{
return true;
}

return false;
}

Could I use something like this:
if($class->userr($user)) { // Something } 
If not, how would I go about doing something like it?

And is there any way I could use a mysql_fetch_assoc in a function?

Can someone tell me by looking at the following code why function pcust() does not work, I am new to programming?

Hi.  I am trying to write a function but they are new to me and confusing me.  On multiple pages I am requesting users details.  I thought instead of writing out the query every time I want to do this I would include a functions page with the query in it.  The only variable I carry from the user is the user name as a session when they log in.  The user name is the email address of the person signed in.

so here is my first function.  As im sure you can see it doesn't work but I don't understand why or how to call it properly.  Can someone please explain....

function GetUser($user = "")

 {

$qFindUser = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE email = '$user'";

 

$rFindUser = mysql_query($qFindUser) or die (mysql_error());

  

$UserInfo = mysql_fetch_array($rFindUser);

  }

calling the function to return all details of a member as an array.
<?php  
$Name = $_SESSION['MM_Username'];
$UserInfo = GetUser($Name);


echo $UserInfo['forename'];
?>

I have a function for mysqli_real_escape_string above this function and it works with no errors.

Have i done something wrong? as you can see i am including the file which holds the connection but it doesnt seem to use it. every other file that uses the connection works fine.

As painfully simple as this may be, I seem to be doing something wrong as always. New to php and decided to start using functions. I'm trying to add functions from an external functions.php file to my other pages and then call the functions where necessary. How should I go about it? I tried something like this:

Functions.php:
Code: [Select]
<?php
function field() {
echo 'text heherh';
}
?>

and then when calling it to when needed for example:
include 'includes/functions.php'; // at the top of the page
Code: [Select]
<?php
// and when trying to call the function on a specific line 
if (!$sname)
$errorstring = $errorstring . "<b>Surname:" . field() ; //field being the function name
?>

I know this is very simple but I have never used functions before.. tried google, didn't help much and I'm pressed for time so decided to ask here. Thanks in advance
