I've always wondered this about OOP and maybe you guys can answer this question.

I'm writing a php application and I'm trying to figure out the correct way to 
right the oop part of this application.

for instance.

I have a "project.class" file that has functions for dealing with individual 
projects because you break down ideas into singular entities in OOP(as I 
understand it)

But what if I wanted to deal with multiple projects such as getting a list of 
the projects in my database, should I create a function in the "project.class" 
to handle the now plural request, or should I create a "projects.class" file 
that has a function called "getProjects".

Hopefully I'm explaining this question right. It makes sense in my own head. :-)

Thanks,
Brent

Well, if I get you right, you have a class named Project holds information about a project. Now you want a list of the current projects. I'd make a new class, named ProjectList or something similar, that can be used to administrate your projects.

class Project
{
        public $name;    // The project's name
        public $ownerID; // The user ID of the project's owner
        
        /* The constructor. Note: this only works in PHP5 */
        public function __construct ($id)
        {
                $db = mysql_connect();
                // Get project info...
                
                $this->name    = $result['name'];
                $this->ownerID = $result['owner'];
        }
}

class ProjectList
{
        public $projects = array();

        public function __construct ()
        {
                $db     = mysql_connect();
                $query  = mysql_query('SELECT id FROM projects');
                $result = mysql_fetch_array($query);

                foreach ($result as $project_id) {
                        $this->projects[$project_id] = new Project($project_id);
                }
        }

        public function listProjects ()
        {
                return $this->projects;
        }

        public function addProject ($name, $owner)
        {
                // ...
        }

        public function deleteProject ($id)
        {
                // ...
        }

If I get what you're doing right, then you need to break it down more, if you wanna go truly OOP ... and create an array of objects.

Something like:

$arrProjects[] = new project($projectname);

and then have an object for each idea, that are handled by the projects, like:

class Project {
  var $project_name;
  var $arrIdeas[];

  function Project($projectname) {
    $this->project_name = $projectname;
  }

  function add_idea() {
    $this->arrIdeas[] = new idea();
  }
}

Just remember that PHP isn't a true OOP language, so going OOP may not necessarily be the best solution always. OOP makes certain types of projects easier to code, and some projects would be almost impossible to do without OOP (like anything you wanna do where you need to use scope to avoid major headaches), but because PHP isn't compiled or a true OOP language, OOP in PHP hampers performance, and that hampering is exponential with the complexity of the objects.

FWIW

Please define "true OOP" language and provide a few examples that meet
your criteria. Then show how other examples like PHP fail to meet your
true OOP criteria. Don't forget, if a language has OOP as a subset, it
still has true OOP capabilities. Also it might help to clarify if you
mean PHP in general or PHP4 and below.

PHP is runtime compiled to bytecode. It's just as compiled as any other
language. With a good compiler cache it's just as compiled as java.

You're shitting us all right? Exponential? Really? could you show us

"getProjects".

Yes, that's a possibility. You can even create more stuff in this Projects class like createProject, removeProject and stuff like this. If these tasks are pretty static and you don't need multiple instances of the Projects class then you can implement it completely statically so you don't need to instanciate the class:

class Projects
{
    private static $projects = array();

    public static function getAll()
    {
        return self::$projects;
    }

    public static function add(Project $project)
    {
        self::$projects[] = $project;
    }
}

So now you can do this to get the projects:

  $projects = Projects::getAll();

Adding objects to the list can be done by the constructor of the Project class:

function __construct()
{
    Projects::add($this);
}

"True" as in parts of the OOP not being optional, like it is in PHP. You can fudge around the OOP principle in PHP and still get it working.

PHP is runtime compiled to bytecode. It's just as compiled as any other
language. With a good compiler cache it's just as compiled as java.

Compiled to byte-code is only the same as pre-compiled in most other programming languages.

You're shitting us all right? Exponential? Really? could you show us
some benchmarks on how it's exponential?

Dynamic object creation will always hamper performance relative to the object complexity. It's true for all languages ... it's within seconds though on a non-dedicated server, but depending on what you do, it's not that hard to break 30 secs exec time on PHP that way.

Let's not be sowing seeds of FUD on the PHP general list.

Then it might be good to read instead of interpret.

"True OOP" is a programming paradigm you can choose or not choose to
adhere to. Even in a purist OOP model, some person could implement their
entire application in a procedural manner by creating a single "Program"
object and using that object's methods as though they were non OOP
procedures. So thusly, if I choose to only use OOP features in my code,
then PHP is as pure as any other pure OOP model, by your own
understanding. Thus the ability of PHP to be OOP is entirely dependent
on the developer.

Semantics. Until any langiage compiles to pure 1s and 0s, it's all about
bytecode. Even C compiles to assembler which is really just a low level
bytecode.

There is a performance loss in any OOP system over a non OOP system,
because the great things like polymorphism have a pricetag. However,
your original comment specifically narrowed the field of attention to
PHP, which is not valid narrowing since it makes it seem like there are
OOP implementations that do not have performance overhead for such
features. If there are, I'm sure you can tell me a few.

To read is to interpret. Otherwise you're just looking. You moment you
give anything meaning you have made an interpretation. Albeit the
interpretation may be based on globally shared rules, or personal
subjective ideals. Either way, your writing was not IMHO based on
globally shared rules, but rather on your own personal subjective
ideals, which again IMHO, were promoting FUD for PHP OOP.

Rob.

Who cares whether or not PHP is an object oriented language? If it has OO features, you can call it whatever you like, I'd still be happy.

Common but not the *only* way.

That is irrelevant because most servers that issue the message above only allow relaying with prior authentication.

FYI, the class that I suggested implements both SMTP and POP3 based authentication.

Maybe if you try them you will realize that I am provide a plain simple solution for the problem of the original poster because it consists only in replacing the mail() calls to the smtp_mail() provided with these classes:

you know we're going down the same road that took up to much of my

No, I take offence when you label as spam the messages that I post suggesting solutions that solve the original poster problem.

We are just on the same road from the last time because you are still being childish and acting imaturely trying to insult me on a public forum.

You are only making a fool of yourself because you reveal that a) you are not providing any solution (sending people to go and figure what their problem is on Google is not a solution), b) you are underestimating my knowledge of many years about this subject.

Sometimes I forget names. But then when I notice the pattern of labeling as spam my messages helping others in PHP mailing lists, some bells ring.

This is the very first time i ever labeled your stuff as spam.

It is not the first time you try to offend me and obstruct my attempts to help PHP users, that is the pattern.

There aren't many people that get keep protesting against my messages of helping others with ready to use PHP components that I have developed for many years to solve problems like they present.

I have no problem with your solutions, I've simply stated that it
may not be the only solution.

Basically you have no clue what the problem is. That is why your reply was to go and figure in Google. If you had a clue, you would realize that a) this is a frequently posed problem, b) the solution is that it requires authentication because that is the default configuration for Microsoft SMTP servers. You can suggest other solutions (which you didn't) but those require changing the SMTP server configuration, which is usually beyhond the users possibilities.

(Thank you Jason for the introduction! :-)

That means your SMTP server requires authentication to relay messages. The mail function does not support SMTP authentication.

for the record.. and to not mislead several people.. 550 simply
means the message was not accepted. There are several other reasons
why this will happen. The text after the 550 usually signifies what
exactly the problem is.

Yes, but 550 with the text in front of "5.7.1 Unable to relay for [EMAIL PROTECTED]" is a common message presented by servers that only relay with prior authentication. If you had enough real world experience with SMTP servers you would know that.

Again.. a simple google search reveals the other issues that may be
involved.  Your tool's *may* solve the problem, but it isn't 100%

Man, try to learn this for once. It is standard for Microsoft SMTP servers to be configured by default to not allow relaying messages to foreign domains without requiring prior SMTP authentication. Although, it is possible that the problem may be slightly different, that is not the default, so it is unlikely that just performing SMTP authentication would not solve the problem.

Trust the voice of experience, it has been this way for years. Many people have already posted the same problem in this list since a long time ago and I have never heard of anybody that posted this same problem and used my classes with SMTP authentication without success.

I developed the smtp_mail() function wrapping these classes precisely to make the solution straightforward for the users that just have to make a minimal change from the mail() calls to smtp_mail(). I do not use Microsoft software. I developed this because I had many requests from Microsoft users.

Try it yourself on standard Microsoft SMTP server installation and you'll see.

After googling for quite some time I'm back asking
here.  I want to be able to seperate by search and
results into two pages.

My form is set up on Search.php
I have set action"searchresults.php"

Couple of questions:
I have my array of user selected options from my form
element - Ind[]

I gather the processing of the array needs to be done
first before posting.  
I tried this:
searchresults.php?Ind=<?php
echo((isset($_POST["Ind[]"]))?$_POST["Ind[]"]:"") ?>
but all I saw in the searchresults.php url was ..?ind
= 
?

Does the searchresults page need to use the GET method
to gather up the variables?

Thanks
Stuart

Sadly, you're really not learning much from this list ...

... print_r()/var_dump() $_POST["Ind[]"], what do you see? Nothing I bet. Why? 
See manual > PHP and HTML for details.

Basically the contents of your form elements named 'Ind[]' have been placed in 
an array named 'Ind' and lives inside $_POST, ie $_POST['Ind'], and you can 
print_r() to see what it contains.

> Does the searchresults page need to use the GET method

Yes, if you're using this method to pass them on:

  searchresults.php?Ind...

Unfortunately, you can't just stick $_POST['Ind'] in there:

  searchresults.php?Ind[]=$_POST['Ind']

There are 2 way you can do this:

a) Pass the individual elements of $_POST['Ind']

or

b) serialize() $_POST['Ind'], pass it as a single element, then on the 
receiving page unserialize() it

Conceptually (a) will probably be easier to understand so:

you need to build a string which looks like:

  Ind[1]=value1&Ind[2]=value2...&Ind[n]=valuen

which you append to your URL like so:

  searchresults.php?Ind[1]=value1&Ind[2]=value2...&Ind[n]=valuen

This can be done using a foreach() on $_POST['Ind'], and implode(). Remember 
to validate each item as you go along.

And PLEASE, stick:

    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);

on top of all your pages whilst you're developing.

I partially disagree.  I think it might be better for
me to take a more elementary approach to the language
before getting moving on to specific project issues.

I posted a few hours prior to your response that this
was solved.  I am using the $_POST method. On the
results page I check to see if there are any elements
set and then move on to implode.  

It's working.  Though I have some other things to
figure out ;)

Hello,

I just tried to overwrite a method of ArrayObject like this:

  class MyArrayObject extends ArrayObject
  {
      public function offsetGet($key)
      {
          echo "Here I am\n";
          return parent::offsetGet($key);
      }
  }

  $o = new MyArrayObject();
  $o['test'] = 'test';
  echo $o['test'];

I think this should output the text "Here I am" because I have overwritten the offsetGet method of ArrayObject which is called if I access an array element of this object. But it doesn't. My method is simply ignored.

Then I've written a simple Object which implements the ArrayAccess interface like the ArrayObject object does. And then I have done the same as above but this time I don't extend ArrayObject but my own object. This works. My overwrite method is called

I'm confused. Why can't I overwrite the method in ArrayObject? Is this a bug? Or are the methods of ArrayObject marked as "final"? But even then I must get an "Cannot override final method" error.

Some hints if I misunderstood something? If not I'm going to file a bug report.

Hiya!

I am trying to make some code which gets a handle to a directory, but has
different code for my localhost (Windows) and for online (Linux server). 

Basically, I want either of the below lines. Say if the first fails, it must
be on Linux and then it uses the line below. 

The two example lines are:

  @ $handle =
opendir("c:/websites/mywebsite/extra/photos/".$_GET['page']."/");
  @ $handle =
opendir("/home/mywebsite/public_html/extra/photos/".$_GET['page']."/");

Had a search on google, but not really sure what to look for!

Love,

Steve

opendir() returns FALSE if directory cannot be opened for any reason. You can 
also use file_exists(), is_dir().

In html, there is the alert() function that makes a popup with a ok button.
Is there such a thing in php?

example:

if ($lastname == "") {
       print "<br><br><center><font face=arial color=red>Enter a 
name!</font></center>";
       }

but that changes my page setup.

Actually, that's a JavaScript function. You can't do the same thing in PHP although you can use PHP to create the JavaScript. Printing an error message, like you already had, is probably a better choice, though (IMHO).
