[PHP] Kickstarter Project on Massive Log data Aggregation and Processing with Open Source Software
Hi Everyone, I just launched a Kickstarter project that will fund the creation of a course on how to aggregate, process, search and visualize massive log data using open source software. I believe some of the folks on the user mailing list would find this helpful. Web applications do generate a lot of log data and I believe that knowing how to deal with it could be very valuable. Is it OK to send out an email with a summary of what the project is about?

It's definitely possible to do, once you figure out the syntax you need for this object. I'm guessing you must have gotten past the $oBank->Init() method call without issues. What happens if you just use this for the value assignment? $oBank->Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME) = "Test account"; $oBank->Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NO) = "12345"; $oBank->Fields(BANK_fld_BANK) = "Bank of the Nation"; $oBank->Fields(BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME) = "State Street Branch"; It also looks like you're getting errors from the call to $oBank->Save() saying that the method is not defined.

Re: [PHP] COM - Assigning to method.
Hello,
did you tried var_dump or print_r the $oBank object to see his structure ?
Also you can try:
$BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME = 22;
$oBank->$BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME = 'something';
Premek.

Hi Andrew
Thanks for this.
But I'm still getting errors. I think I need to explain a bit more.
Unfortunately there isn't a PHP API for this application I'm trying to
interact with, my goal really is to be able to expose the COM
functionality over a web-service such as SOAP so I can use it in a
CMS. The application I'm trying to integrate with is Blackbuad's
Raiser's Edge - API documentation here:
https://www.blackbaud.com/files/support/guides/re7ent/api.pdf
I think part of the problem is that the field names are also
represented by an integer. So to get data out I would do:
$oBank->Fields(22); // which maps to BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME.
When I do:
$oBank->22 = 'blah blah';
I get an error because a property can't be numeric, it has to start as
alpha character. If I use:
$oBank->BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME = 'blah blah blah';
I get the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Unable
to lookup `BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME': Unknown name.
I've also tried using your Value property returned by Fields():
$oBank->Fields(22)->Value = 'Blah Blah blah blah';
Which I then get:
PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in [C:\Users]
Fatal error: Call to undefined method variant::Save()
Soo seems nearly impossible to implement a safe way to write to the COM
API.
At the moment, I'm still in the scoping/prototype stage of my project,
so I'm beginning to think that using this COM API for this project is
a no-go, which is unfortunate. I'm also guessing even if we did
implement this API, exposing it as a Web Service is going to be tricky
for performance sake (given that I've read that COM doesn't
multithread very well??)
Many Thanks
Adam.

Re: [PHP] COM - Assigning to method.
Hi Andrew
Thanks for this.
But I'm still getting errors. I think I need to explain a bit more.
Unfortunately there isn't a PHP API for this application I'm trying to
interact with, my goal really is to be able to expose the COM
functionality over a web-service such as SOAP so I can use it in a
CMS. The application I'm trying to integrate with is Blackbuad's
Raiser's Edge - API documentation here:
https://www.blackbaud.com/files/support/guides/re7ent/api.pdf
I think part of the problem is that the field names are also
represented by an integer. So to get data out I would do:
$oBank->Fields(22); // which maps to BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME.
When I do:
$oBank->22 = 'blah blah';
I get an error because a property can't be numeric, it has to start as
alpha character. If I use:
$oBank->BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME = 'blah blah blah';
I get the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Unable
to lookup `BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME': Unknown name.
I've also tried using your Value property returned by Fields():
$oBank->Fields(22)->Value = 'Blah Blah blah blah';
Which I then get:
PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in [C:\Users]
Fatal error: Call to undefined method variant::Save()
Soo seems nearly impossible to implement a safe way to write to the COM API.
At the moment, I'm still in the scoping/prototype stage of my project,
so I'm beginning to think that using this COM API for this project is
a no-go, which is unfortunate. I'm also guessing even if we did
implement this API, exposing it as a Web Service is going to be tricky
for performance sake (given that I've read that COM doesn't
multithread very well??)
Many Thanks
Adam.
