[PHP] learning classes - need pointer
Hi there - I am slowly converting all of my projects over to a OOP based structure with classes. Now I had a quick question. In my current case, I am trying to create all the generic SQL functions (IE insert, update, delete, etc). Now what I am wondering - what would be the best way to structure the code so that I can accommodate the possibilities for different fields and databases, etc? Is it something that I should just pass to the class? Or would there be a more efficient way to do it? d -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Now what I am wondering - what would be the best way to structure the code so that I can accommodate the possibilities for different fields and databases, etc? Is it something that I should just pass to the class? Or would there be a more efficient way to do it? One of the things I hate most is having to rewrite code for insert and update. With that in mind what I do is name the form objects the same name as the db fields that they relate to. Then I iterate through the $_POST array as a whole and do the insertions and updates like that. The only thing that I have to pass to my class is the table name and any location string that will accompany the successful completion of the insert/update. All my validation is done right there with method overloading. It's not extremely clever by any means but it gets the job done. Besides I'm kinda lazy. I'm sure there are several wrappers that do the same thing. alex hogan
