Nathan is correct, I'd like to add that 'self' is actually nothing more than
a simple alias used at compile time to put the class name in ...
'self' literally equates to 'MyClass', but it saves hassle when refactoring
and it's much clearer that you mean 'this class Im looking at/working in'
personally whenever I see a classname referenced statically inside a method
I kind of assume it must be another class :-P

Hi Richard,
the define function is to be used on the global scope of your
application. This is helpful to assign Configurations Options and other
data that you do not will move. For the Class Constants you define the
Constant only fo the Class where you are working.
Please read the documentation about this on PHP.NET
http://de.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php

Carlos

Re-read what he said.
What he wants to do is use a previous class constant in another one.
With defines, you can do:
define('VAR_1', 'This is var 1');
define('VAR_2', VAR_1 . ' plus some more on the end');
You cannot do a similar thing with class constants (you get parse
errors), he's asking why.

(im not saying its bad to use public vars, im merely presenting an alternative perspective). /me prefers singleton with __get and __set but each to their own :) I quite like the fact that the __construct of the singleton itself can fill up the variables that are accessed via __get and from then on rogue code cannot overwrite them (assuming you do not implement a __set!)

Richard Lynch schreef:

probably no reason why it couldn't but from what I gather there is a specific
reason wht it works like this: speed.
const is compile time, define is runtime
IIRC const was made this way in order to make it fast.
I also recall posts by Matt Wilmas on internals regarding a patch for 'constant
expression
folding' which allows simple expressions in const definitions (whilst keeping
the compile
time speed) ... I think it made it in to 5.3 but you'd have to check.
Code like this is kinda fugly:
//It's okay here, but not in a class?
define('CACHE_DIR_LONG', CONFIG_ROOT_PATH . '/cache/');
class Cache {
const CACHE_DIR = '/dev/shm/cache/';
const CACHE_TTL = 300; //5 minutes
const CACHE_DIR_LONG = CACHE_DIR_LONG;
I'd really prefer to write:
class Cache {
const CACHE_DIR = '/dev/shm/cache/';
const CACHE_TTL = 300; //5 minutes
const CACHE_DIR_LONG = CONFIG_ROOT_PATH . '/cache/';
talking of fugly, your declaring a class, from a purists POV it really
shouldn't contain such values in it's definition ... these are things
you set when initializing the class/object for use. :-P
I'm happy to add it as a feature request, but not if somebody reliable says Don't
Bother...
I'd go with Don't Bother ... although check the internals archives
as your desired feature may actually be on it's way in, in some form.

[PHP] spreadsheets are opened read only
Hi guys. I am having a problem with opening xls files from a link generated from php script. Let me analyze this: I have two linux servers with apache (php,mysql etc) that are running the same project. There is a part in this project that reads all the files from a directory and generates the appropriate links to them. These files are usually spreadsheets (xls) and when I open a file using the link on the first machine it opens normally but when I open the file from the second it is opened read only. I have checked the rights and the ownership and they are the exact same from the servers document root to the file itself.

For this you can use the get_browser() function of PHP, which returns a plethora of information as an array. If this function doesn't work (it didn't for me because of hosting restrictions) then someone called sam on the php.net manual page has written a function called php_get_browser() which does the same thing. Just make sure you download an up-to-date browscap.ini file and you'll have all the information you want.

It goes against my better judgment, but performance wins out in this specific situation. getting off the point of the thread (i could care less :D), but have you seen the model taken by qcodo, propel (and likely others) where the generated layer is extended, so that subsequent re-generation does not interfere w/ customizations on the generated library? -nathan I have looked at Propel several times and I'm quite close to jumping on that bandwagon. The last time I was looking I decided against it though since it required a big base library to run properly (at least I think it was that, could be wrong). I do really like the idea of having something else take care of the DAO business for the most part. One less problem, right? My little generator just does the basic load, save (which calls update/insert based on pk), delete. From there I hand write out the actual fetch statements. I have some templates to ease the burden of doing some of the more repetitive queries, such as the ones that require pagination. I think it is very important to craft data fetching SQL statements though since that is usually the largest bottle neck of the system. After looking at that Qcodo framework for a second I've actually made another generator that creates the management side MVC pages to work off of a table too. That is an interesting idea though extending the generated classes to get around customizations. I was thinking about trying to come up with a way of doing a diff to handle this in my own generators. It is easy enough to just copy the basic methods and paste them over my current ones though. I hardly ever find myself adding new fields to tables once a job is complete so I haven't felt the motivation to do it yet. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The typical way to access a variable or instance from inside a

public static $bar_instance;

You might also look into these concepts:
- service locator
- registry pattern
- dependency injection
I wouldn't create something like what you're doing without a very good
documented reason for it. The reason everything is hidden behind
methods/structures is so that you can change your code and have a
layer to deal with the changes. By exposing a variable to be public
static then you're opening your implementation up allowing people to
rely on it forcing you to be stuck in a rut if you need to swap it out
for something else. Blah blah blah. ;)

Hi Richard,
the define function is to be used on the global scope of your
application. This is helpful to assign Configurations Options and other
data that you do not will move. For the Class Constants you define the
Constant only fo the Class where you are working.
Please read the documentation about this on PHP.NET
http://de.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php
I understand the difference quite well, thank you.
I need the PATH to differ in development, staging, and production due to mixed
environments.
Unfortunately, I CANNOT construct a class const on the fly from global
define'd constants and constant strings.
Yet, the logic that makes it possible to do that for define itself in some kind
of pre-processor should not be terribly difficult to push down to the class
level, I would think.
So, in fact, I'd LIKE to use the class const properly for what it is mean for,
but cannot do that because its value depends upon the environment.

Apologies for the legal disclaimer over which I have no control; not even the
silly punct-
uation it ended up with in plain-text email.

[PHP] calling functions from one or multiple files

Then, I create each function I'm going to use once in a while as separate file. Pro: I would include a function when I'm going to use. Con: I have to write extra include line to call function. And have bunch of files (functions) in function folder.

did you read my reply? define() ia runtime function, const is a compile time
declaration. one is fast the other is slow.
So, in fact, I'd LIKE to use the class const properly for what it is mean for,
but cannot do that because its value depends upon the environment.
great, then I suggest once more environment specific values don't belong in
class constants.
do you have full control over the servers in question? if so then one trick you
might like to try is this:
drop an app.ini into the /etc/php.d/ dir (I assume php is built to read
additional ini files, if not
add it to your php.ini) with something like the following:
myapp_cache_dir = /foo/bar/qux
myapp_another_dir = /foo/bar/another
then in your app you can retrieve and set the data like so
Cache::init(get_cfg_var('myapp_cache_dir'));
where Cache::init() does something like:
Cache {
$private $cacheDir = '/my/default/cache/dir';
function init($dir) {
if ($dir) self::$cacheDir = $dir;
}
}
this works fairly fast (I tested various workable methods of defining/using

Do you mean registry?
could be, but it doesnt have to. when i think of a registry, i think of
something that stores a single instance of several classes in a structure
like an array, and then when asked by clients for an instance of a certain
class, it either gives them a handle to the object it has internally or
creates it first (if not yet created) then returns the handle. earlier in
this thread we were talking about using the singleton as a way to have
'custom superglobals' essentially, which imo, is different than a registry.

True? -ll I work with functions much the same way that I work with classes. When I'm forced to work on procedural code I always prefix the namespace onto it. Let's take a very generic shopping cart example. There's going to be products and a cart. Here are the files/prototypes: /code/storeappname/item.php function storeappname_item_load(int $id); function storeappname_item_save(array $item); function storeappname_item_delete(int $id); /code/storeappname/cart.php function storeappname_cart_add_item(array $item); function storeappname_cart_remove_item(int $id); function storeappname_cart_calculate_totals(); I'd set /code into the include path. Depending on what page you're on you just include the function files that you know you're going to use like require_once 'storeappname/cart.php', etc. Too bad there's not an autoload for functions. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Search functionality
Its pretty straight forward, you create a query that extracts the name and id of the records with a relevant where clause created on the fly. When outputing the data, each record gets created as a link that then loads another page/div with the total dataset for that record. The question for you is how you want the interface for the search to work. You can provide a dropdown with some choices (date, zip, etc) and a text input / date input picker to allow the user to enter the data. This then gets submitted and runs the query Correct, right now each record is displayed on the screen as a link. When the link is clicked a query runs to pull all of the related data and displays it as a subset of items under the main link. The problem is, since I am not pulling all of the detail when I run the initial query, what would be the best way to find the search results when they will most liely be contained in the data I did not initially pull.

My Question is Is there any way to prevent validation some files and directories under eclipse. 1. yes .. it'll practically do the dishes for you if you know which preference to edit. 2. frakkin' ignore the validation if it chokes on whatever and you know it doesn't matter take it to an eclipse list/forum/site, this aint the place.

The question for you is how you want the interface for the search to work. You can provide a dropdown with some choices (date, zip, etc) and a text input / date input picker to allow the user to enter the data. This then gets submitted and runs the query Correct, right now each record is displayed on the screen as a link. When the link is clicked a query runs to pull all of the related data and displays it as a subset of items under the main link. The problem is, since I am not pulling all of the detail when I run the initial query, what would be the best way to find the search results when they will most liely be contained in the data I did not initially pull.

[PHP] Wierd Variable Initialization
So guys,
I found some thing strange that happened to me yesterday. Its small but
kinda freaked me out.
So I have a tokenmap.php that I include include in different configuration
files. Some are classes and some are simple php files.
So in my tokenmap.php I have declared an array as global.
SO $GLOBAL['tokenmap'] = array()
As a good programming practice what I did was:
require_once('tokenmap.php');
$tokenmap = array();
$tokenmap = $GLOBAL['tokenmap'];
print_r($tokenmap);
The above displays empty array
But when I do this , it works
require_once('tokenmap.php');
$tokenmap = $GLOBAL['tokenmap'];
print_r($tokenmap);
Its kind of wierd for me. I am trying to understand. Can some one shed some
light on it for me.
Thanks

Why set it to an empty array first? You're just overriding it straight away.
It's pretty silly to do:
?php
$a = 1;
$b = 0;
$b = $a;
?
Add:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
