PHP - Problem With Magic Methods.

Well 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?

i have some code which checks to see if a username  and an email is in use. from what i can understand, it uses magic quotes to prevent sql injection. i've heard that magic quotes are not going to be in use in php6, so how can i change it so that it uses real escape string instead?

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']);
}
$usercheck = $_POST['username'];
$check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = '$usercheck'") 
or die(mysql_error());
$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);
if ($check2 != 0) {
die('Sorry, the username '.$_POST['username'].' is already in use.');
}

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$_POST['email'] = addslashes($_POST['email']);
}
$emailcheck = $_POST['email'];
$check = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM users WHERE email = '$emailcheck'") 
or die(mysql_error());
$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);
if ($check2 != 0) {
die('Sorry, the email '.$_POST['email'].' is already registered to another account.');
}


Thanks

My old server had magic_quotes_gpc turned on. My new one does not.
Will mysql_real_escape_string solve all the issues that magic_quotes was used for?
My site runs a blogging application and it seems some of the templates which contain a lot of html and css do not insert into the database properly even when using mysql_real_escape_string.

Thanks,

So, I think you have all heard the news. THEY ARE GONE!

Unfortunately, I do have some old code that I do not feel like going line by line and updating. I was wounding if you guys could help me out.

I was hoping that there would be a way to set a define of some sort then when I grab something out of an SQL table it will automatically takeout the "\" (Slashes) and when I insert something into the database it will add the slashes...

YES I know and have read the statement written by the php group [http://www.php.net/manual/en/securit...uotes.why.php] But i do not particularly want to go through my code and change everything by hand.

If you have any idea, or would like me to explain it another way, please post.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi ! I was seeing the Exception class defined in basic.php and I found that all the methods are final and without body:
Code: [Select]
final public function getMessage () {}But if I call MyCustomException->getMessage() I get the message.
How does it works??

Hi there every one, i'm writing a class that create instances of other classes and I want to use the __call() magic method to make it more compact and dynamic. here is a basic example of what I'm trying to achieve.

The code bellow is the working code.
Code: [Select]
<?php

class creator{
    private $objects = array();
    public function createObj1($param1, $param2, $param3){
        $this->objects[]=new Obj1($param1, $param2, $param3);
    }  
    public function createObj2($param1, $param2){
        $this->objects[]=new Obj2($param1, $param2);
    }  
}
?>

Now I want the same functionality but using just the __call(), something like this
Code: [Select]
<?php
class creator{
    private $objects = array();
    public function __call($name, $args){
        $this->objects[]=new $name($param1, $param2);
    }  
}
?>
So, the main problem is, in the $args variable i get an array with all the args passed,
How can I make the call to create a new object when in the object constructor are individual parameters needed and not an array of parameters.

Thank you in advance.

hey guys i have a __call method in my class...the probelm im having is how to get the arguments into this line

Code: [Select]
return $this->_db->$method($arguments);
if arguments where "test1" and "test2"

i want the call to do

Code: [Select]
return $this->_db->$method("test1", "test2");
the code below will put all arguments into one if anyone can help me on how i can seperate please

Code: [Select]
public function __call($method, $arguments)
{
if (method_exists($this->_db, $method))
{
$arguments = implode(', ', $arguments);

return $this->_db->$method($arguments);
}
}

There's this really old website called http://ipolygraph.com/google/

Basically it mimics the Google homepage (as you can see it's been a while since they've updated) but the idea is really simple but clever. If you go to the search box and type cars (or whatever) and click search, it searches Google for "cars". However if you type something like   /php manual/  you'll notice it changes what you're searching to "What is...etc etc". The idea is say you tell your friend you're on Google and you ask them to think of a card, if you type    /4c/ is bob thinking of?   it'll look as if you're typing "What is Bob thinking of?", when you hit search it'll be the 4 of clubs.

Is there any way to make something similar to this? The idea came to me after I learned about the file_get_contents command in PHP.

I know that magic __get and __set are invoked automatically when an object is instantiated, but what about stuff like getName() and setName()

Code: [Select]
class NameClass {
private $_name;
public function getName() {
return $this->_name;
    }
public function setName($value) {
$this->_name = $value;
    }
}

$someName = new NameClass();
$someName->setName('Bob');
echo $someName->getName();
1. Could the setName() and getName() just as easily be named something generic like:

hotName()
coldName()

Code: [Select]
class NameClass {
private $_name;
public function hotName() {
return $this->_name;
    }
public function coldName($value) {
$this->_name = $value;
    }
}

$someName = new NameClass();
$someName->coldName('Bob');
echo $someName->hotName();
2. Also, the setName() and getName() methods must be called manually, right? Unless they are manually called, they just sit there, do nothing, am I correct?

Thanks

I stumbled upon this book where i first  met __set(). When I research it, I met __get(). So there, I don't know who they are. And what they exactly do. If I  may ask, is there any tutorial which can give me proper introduction with __set() and __get()? I have read for beginners, but I dont know, maybe I'm too dummy to understand.  please bare with me i am just  beginner. Thanks in advance.

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.

Hi, I am trying to get my head around classes, interfaces and methods for different animals

 

this is what I have so far:

<?php 
interface animal {
  function walk();
  function fly();
  function swim();
}
class monkey implements animal{
  const interface1 = "I am from test class";

  function noise() {
    echo "ooh ooh ah ah!";
  } 

  function walk() { 
    echo "monkey is walking";
  }
  function fly() { 
    echo "monkey is Flying";
  }
  function swim() { 
    echo "monkey is Swimming";
  }
  public function display() {
    echo monkey::interface1;
    echo PHP_EOL;
  }

}

class bear implements animal{
  const interface1 = "I am from test class";

  function noise() {
    echo "Grrr!";
  } 

  function walk() { 
    echo "Bear is walking";
  }
  function fly() { 
    echo "Bear is Flying";
  }
  function swim() { 
    echo "Bear is Swimming";
  }
  public function display() {
    echo bear::interface1;
    echo PHP_EOL;
  }

}
$Obj = new monkey();
$Obj->display();
$Obj1 = new bear();
$Obj1->display();
?>

I'm a bit stumped as  animal interface not calling all functions?! please help

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!

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?

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?
