Re: [PHP-DB] functions, the best way to implement and arrange them..
yes, it was a structure like that i was looking for. so a class is a group
of functions?
i have heard about 'wrappers' to and from what i've heard it is the same
thing?

the same thing i would do for the scripts, using the functions i have and

i can not find it how it should be done. is it a good idea to put a couple

like sessions and login/logout functions?
in my idea i would only need to include a document in the header of my

Hi T,
One way I've found is to set up separate pages.
session.php
database.php
forms.php
etc..
Then in each you create a class named the same
EG for session.php
?php
class Session
{
/session vars
var $username = ;
function Session(){
//constructor
}
//call your different session functions
//set username for eg.
}
$session = new Session;
?
Then call on, say, the username var from a page.
Eg: view_acct.php
?php include(scripts/session.php)**;
html
...
input name=username value=?php echo($session-username); ? /
...
/html
A very loose example, but hope it puts you on a good path..
Best,
Karl DeSaulniers

I would venture to say a class is much more then a wrapper.
but basically setting your back-end pages as classes to control
everything with.
Makes referencing things in your front end much easier too, since
most of the nuts and bolts are
in the classes. Yes classes have many functions inside them. whatever
you want to use,
but there is a somewhat strict structure your classes have to be
built in for them to work properly.
I would google something like php class example or php class
structure or php pages as classes
That would probably yield some good reads.

Re: [PHP-DB] functions, the best way to implement and arrange them..
using function is good.. I like to use it in my script.. but I do think about you should use Class because Class make your script more structure.. and you can hide your setting to make everyone unable to see or hack you system.. example.. I always like to use h1bla/h1 then i built function h1($s) actualy use function for simple task.. for moderate or complex.. use class dev arrange the script because they know the flow and that can be have if they experience 1-3 project or more. not something easy actualy On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 7:28 PM, Taco Mathijs Hillenaar-Meerveld tm.hillen...@gmail.com wrote: It might be a simple question for the local die-hards among here, but i'm really wondering about how developers arrange their scripts and keep their map structures. today i was looking for the best way to keep my scripts clear and to put them into maps so i have a clear overview. the same thing i would do for the scripts, using the functions i have and throwing them in 1 or more php documents. i can not find it how it should be done. is it a good idea to put a couple of functions in just 1 document? like sessions and login/logout functions? in my idea i would only need to include a document in the header of my website and then i'm done, right? some thoughts, ideas and tips would be appreciated. kind regards taco -- akan ada dimana mulut terkunci dan suara tak ada lagi.. saat itu gunakanlah HP untuk melakukan SMS!! - ini aliran bedul.. bukan aliran aneh. tertawa sebelum tertawa didepan RSJ..

There are some general concepts: * Keep your files fairly small and concise. Don't put everything in one file. * The contents of your files should be logically consistent. Group functions which work on similar sets of data, or do similar tasks, together. * Classes are a great way to go with grouping functions that act on a cohesive set of data. Generally, one class per file is a good rule of thumb, although there are also cases for including more than one class in a single file. * Functions and methods should be cohesive; they should do only one thing. You can have several functions in a file, and you should have several methods in a class. * Grouping functions temporaly is generally a bad idea. The conceptual exception to this is having a single configuration file for setting up variables in the program that might vary with installation. This isn't really arranging functions, though, as it's generally just setting and initializing data for the application. * When you are writing functions and classes, work to make them general case and reusable as much as possible * It's okay to have included files include other files; in fact, this is generally How It's Done. Remember to use include_once and require_once where appropriate. Some reasonable chunks of files: * session handling - it's nice to include all your session handling in one file, this is where you may want to set up a class and instantiate it. * database access - also nice to be able to abstract out database setup and calls * database migration - another area that can easily be separated from the whole * models - each piece of business logic would be a good fit for a separate class and/or file * views - keeping with the tradition of separating logic from presentation, keeping the code for presenting the page in separate files is also a good idea * authorization and access control - if you choose to write your own, keeping it separate from the rest of your application is a great idea. * data manipulation, string formatting, special processing -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
