If I have a class that looks like this:
class MyClass {
var $MyClassVar = "Bob";
}
is there a way to reference that variable w/o instantiating
MyClass? I've tried:
MyClass::$MyClassVar
MyClass->$MyClassVar
MyClass.$MyClassVar
nothing works. Is this even possible? I'm using PHP 4.3.2.
thnx,
Chris

That's wrong, I was thinking of functions. Sorry.
Seems you have to instantiate the class.
class MyClass {
var $MyClassVar = "Bob";
}
$class = new MyClass;
echo $class->MyClassVar;

I believe you can make the property static (at least in PHP5):
class MyClass
{
public static $myClassVar = "Bob";
}
echo MyClass::$myClassVar; // Bob

Unfortunately, in PHP4.3.2 that doesn't seem to be working... :(
Does anyone know how I can access a class' variable w/o having
to instantiate an object of the class? This is more to the point of
what I'm trying to do:
Since PHP4 doesn't have enums, I'm doing this:
class MyEnums {
var $this = 'This';
var $that = 'That';
var $other = 'Other';
}
class MyClass {
var $MyVar = MyEnums::$this;
}
But obviously, that's not working. Is there a way I can get
it to work?
thnx,
Chris

I'm curious if you tested your code? Did it work? If so, what
version of PHP are you using? I copied and pasted the code
you provided and got the following error:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in
/usr/local/etc/httpd/domains/eazypro.com/interactive/cron_scripts/test/rate_
version.php on line 9
with line 9 being this line:
var $MyVar = MyEnums::thisVar;
thnx,
Chris

That is because "In PHP 4, only constant initializers for var variables are allowed.
To initialize variables with non-constant values, you need an initialization function
which is called automatically when an object is being constructed from the class."
(from the manual)
Whether or not the syntax MyEnums::thisVar is correct and will accomplish what you
want when moved into a function is another story.
I haven't been paying close attention and am not sure what you are trying to do, but
since it appears you want something that is constant, have you thought about using
DEFINE?

Chris,
A work around I've used in the past has been to use a keyed array such as:
$MyEnums = array(
"is" => "This",
"at" => "That",
"er" => "Other"
);
Then you can refer to them like:
echo($MyEnums["is"]); // Prints "This"
Just an idea.

Thanks all for the replies. I also noticed a small typo in the code I

worse (used == instead of = when doing the assignment).

There's a book called XX number of ways to improve your C++ code. Well, it works on
lots of languages. About equality statements? Put the constant on the left, then it's
not accidentally an assignement.
if( 15==$dudes_age ){ $action="Slap him if he looks at your daughter"; }
vs
if( $daughters_age==(18*365 + 4 + 1) ){ $action="Give her a box of con***s and kick her
out"; }
//18 years, plus 4 leap days plus one day.
If you accidentally mamke the '==' a '=' in the second statement, it will always be
true, and you will get arrested for kicking your 8 year old out into the street.

As of PHP 4.3.5, I believe the only way to change allow_url_fopen is via
php.ini or httpd.conf. AFAICT, --disable-url-fopen-wrapper disappeared in
PHP 4.0.4.

Hi
I have a strange problem that I can not figure out how to solve ..
I'm trying to save some data into a regular mySQL database table by using a
normal php
insertion script but I'm trying to save "Arabic Text" and here comes the
problem ..
When I'm performing the insertion by writing the actual text directly into
the insert SQL statement
the insertion performed well, and I can view the data again correctly.
But when I'm performing the insertion by passing variables to the insertion
SQL statement, the text
does not get saved correctly and when I try to view the saved data I see
garbage instead.
(I was using the same table for both cases)
Thanks in advance

Is the variable comming from a html form? You might have different
encoding in your text editor and in html page.

the variables I'm using are sent correctly from the html form to the page

Yes, the output of your JavaScript in the second example is missing
$img_home_on (it's outputting nothing). Where does this variable get
set? How about posting the php code for

Hi All,
Just wanted to thank everyone for their advice and help.
What I ended up doing is simply doing an include() of the JS code
instead of externally linking to the file.
This works perfectly.
Thanks again everyone! I appreciate it.

Your first scenario can been done in a similar fashion to how you are
used to doing it in SQL:
if ( in_array($a, array(1,4,20,...) ) {}
Your second scenario doesn't seem like there is much of a problem
because it will always be short (can only have 2 comparisons).

I'm sure I'll be flamed for this, but it seems to me that there should
be a
shortcut way to write:
If ($a == 1 || $a == 4 || $a == 20 || ...) {}
To something more like what SQL has...
If ( $a IN(1,4,20,...) ) {}
And same with the very helpful SQL BETWEEN 'function'.
Instead of
If ($a > 1 && $a < 20) {}
Why not
If ($a BETWEEN (1,20)) {}
[/snip]
You could write a function and share it with the rest of us!

Sorry for not responding sooner - just found this message while cleaning on
my PHP folder.
Anyway, we're both right, depending on how you go about saving the images to
the database. You're talking about using PHP's file functions to open the
image file, read in the data, and stream it to the database. I'm talking
about using the built-in GD functions to grab the image (like
imagecreatefromjpeg) and store it into the database.
As you're pointing out, the GD functions are performing the compression and
decompression.
This was part of another discussion GH and I were having on the MySQL list
about different approaches to storing large collections of images. Sorry, I
should have mentioned that.

Hi!
I have a trouble with building MySQL and MySQLi support together with PHP...
Basically my config says:
../configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config (and other
switches)
but I get this:
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)(.data+0x0): multiple definition of
`net_buffer_length'
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)(.data+0x0): first defined here
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)(.data+0x4): multiple definition of
`max_allowed_packet'
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)(.data+0x4): first defined here
and that for basically for each function....
Anyone knows, how to make the mysqli and mysql extension work together?
Thanks. Stormy.

does your installation have apxs? mine doesn't even though phpinfo says that
(the fedora installed) php4 was configured with it.
