[PHP] setting function variables

2003-08-14 Thread Micah Montoy 
I am trying to specify a single php file to contain all the variables and I
just call this file where necessary.  What I am running into is that I want
to do this for all the built in functions (i.e. mssql_query) as well.  I've
tried numerous attempts but can't get it to operate without wanting to run
the functions or return an error.  Something like this:

$runQuery = @mssql_query;
$qryResults = @mssql_result;
$getRow = @mssql_fetch_row;
$getRowNums = @mssql_num_rows;

I've tried using the %, $, ,'', and the @ symbol without any luck.  Anyone
know of way to do this, so I can use a generic name for all the functions
and be able to distribute it to those using either SQL Server or MySQL
without them having to go through the code and manually change it?

thanks

 Anyhow, if you really want to do it your way, it'd be like this:
 
 $runQuery = 'mssql_query';
 $getRow = 'mssql_fetch_row';
 
 Then you'd use them like this:
 
 $result = $runQuery(select ... );
 while($row = $getRow($result))
 {
   ...
 }
 

I seem to learn something new every time you or Jennifer post (many
others as well). I never knew about variable functions. Cool!

 Tried this and it returns errors of type:
 
 Warning: Wrong parameter count for mssql_result() in
 c:\inetpub\wwwroot\webpage10\example\utilities\dsp_del_images.php 
 on line 78
 
 Warning: mssql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MS SQL-result
 resource in

 Lines 78 and 79 read like this:
 
 $img_numbers = $qryResults(SELECT COUNT(img_id) AS TotalImages 
 FROM images
 WHERE category_id = '$row[0]');
 $img_count = $qryResults($img_numbers,0,TotalImages)
 
 The variables are specified as
 
 $runQuery = 'mssql_query';
 $qryResults = 'mssql_result';
 

You are using mssql_result instead of mssql_query on line 78.

 Use a database abstraction class (ADODB, Pear, or something from
 phpclasses.org). You're trying to assign a variable to a function's
 actions, when you can only assign the variable to teh ooutput of the
 function.

A good suggestion, since this is what your creating, basically.

Anyhow, if you really want to do it your way, it'd be like this:

$runQuery = 'mssql_query';
$getRow = 'mssql_fetch_row';

 I seem to learn something new every time you or Jennifer post (many
 others as well). I never knew about variable functions. Cool!

You're welcome. I wouldn't recommend that solution exactly (an abstraction
class would be better), but the functions do come in handy.

For example, I use variable function in one of my validation classes. I have
a main method called check() that is passed a type and a value. The
type must match a method in the class. The check() method does some
default checking and then passes the $value to the $type() method for
further checking...

class Validate
{
  function check($type,$value)
  {
if($empty($value))
{ return FALSE; }
if(method_exists($this,$type))
{ $retval = $this-$type($value); }
return $retval;
  }

  function number($value)
  {
if(preg_match('/[^0-9]/',$value))
{ return FALSE; }
else
{ return $value; }
  }
}

Where number is one of the types that'll be validated.

$val = new Validate;

$val-check('number',$_POST['somevalue']);
$val-check('date',$_POST['somedate']);
$val-check('phone',$_POST['phone_number']);
etc...

Where you'd have a phone() and date() method in the Validate class... I
think that's the only place I've used variable-functions... or
variable-methods, rather. :)
