Hi,
I'm trying to lay my hands on PHP OOP, but it's not easy :(
I've read several examples in the web, but cannot transpose to may case.
I'm trying to set a class to make SQL inserts in mysql.
I have the class:
-
?php
class dBInsert
{
// global variables
var $first;
// constructor
function dBInsert($table, $sql)
{
$this-table = $table;
$this-sql = $sql;
return(TRUE);
}
// function that constructs the sql and inserts it into the database
function InsertDB($sql)
{
print($sql);
// connect to MySQL
$conn-debug=1;
$conn = ADONewConnection('mysql');
$conn-PConnect('localhost', 'deckard', 'ble', 'wordlife');
if ($conn-Execute($sql) === false)
print 'error inserting: '.$conn-ErrorMsg().'BR';
return (TRUE);
}
}
and the code that calls it:
?php
include_once(classes/dBInsert.php);
$sql = INSERT INTO wl_admins VALUES ('',2);
$dBInsert = new dBInsert('wl_admins', '$sql');
$dBInsert-InsertDB('$sql');
?
but it's not working ?
Can anyone give me a hand here ?
I've read the manuals, examples, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

For database interaction, give PDO a chance: http://php.net/pdo
IMO it's cleaner and more efficient than adodb.
Then, I believe what you're trying to make is a query builder. I would break
down the differente parts of an sql query and create abstractions for each
part (some can be reused on different types of queries), then have builder
create the queries abstractions from the different parts.
Re: [PHP] Help on objects
2006/10/5, Satyam [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've seen you already had a good answer on the errors in the code so I won't go on that. As for OOP, the one design error you have is that you are asking for an action, not an object. You want to make SQL inserts, that is your purpose, and that is an action, which is solved by a statement, not by an object. There is no doer. Objects are what even your English teacher would call objects while describing a sentence. You are asking for a verb, you don't have a subject, you don't have an object. Of course you can wrap an action in a class, but that is bad design. Classes will usually have names representing nouns, methods will be verbs, properties adjectives, more or less, that's OOP for English teachers. Satyam You're wrong, partially: an action can be an object and it's not necessarily a bad design, take for example function objects or the program and statements as objects in lisp-like languages. It's acceptable to make a class that works as an abstract representation of an sql query. This kind of classes are used very efficiently in object persistence libraries. What I agree with you is that it's not right that this class works as the insert action and not as a representation of the insert operation.

Properties are very often nouns in addition to adjectives. For instance a linked list class will undoubtedly have noun objects referring to the current link, the next link, etc. Cheers, Rob. -- Indeed, they often are: you as an object are defined by properties such as height, color of your hair and many other adjectives and you have many other objects which define you, fingers, legs, etc, which are also properties. Being more detailed, instead of the color of your hair being a property of you as a whole, you might have a property pointing to a hair object (a noun) which has a color property. Other noun properties might not be so helpful in defining you, your friends might give a hint of who you are, your clients do not. But, after all, neither does your hair, mine is deserting me and I'm still myself. So, I would say that while adjectives define an object, nouns are relations in between objects and might not define neither. Anyway, I didn't mean this analogy to be complete, nor I mean to teach OOP to English teachers, and though it can be talked much about, stretching it too far would certainly break it. I don't mean to defend it very strongly. Cheers Satyam -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You'd better learn the basic knowledge of PHP. There are several obvious
mistakes in your code.
$dBInsert = new dBInsert('wl_admins', '$sql');
$dBInsert-InsertDB('$sql');
Note that variables will *not* be expanded when they occur in single
quoted strings.
$this-table = $table;
$this-sql = $sql;
The two variables seemed useless.
$conn-debug=1;
$conn = ADONewConnection('mysql');
Called $conn before creating it.
And, I could not to know what is the purpose of this class.
PS, a description such as it's not working is useless for solving the
problem.

pi() does not give me enough decimal places, I need the first 1000.

Re: [PHP] Help with dynamic radio buttons
On 7/22/06, Chris Grigor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Afternoon all I need some help here with a problem on dynamic radio buttons. I have a script that calls a database for a list of questions. The questions are returned and each question needs to have 5 radio buttons assigned to it. The radio buttons are a score of 1 - 5 (1 being bad, 5 being good) For example 1 . How would you rate your vacation?1 2 3 4 5 --- those are the radio buttons. 2. How would you rate your dining at the resort? 1 2 3 4 5 Ok so I have all the questions being returned, I was thinking when creating the radio buttons as follows input name=?php echo $row_get_question_list['id']? type=radio value=1 / input name=?php echo $row_get_question_list['id']? type=radio value=2 / input name=?php echo $row_get_question_list['id']? type=radio value=3 / input name=?php echo $row_get_question_list['id']? type=radio value=4 / input name=?php echo $row_get_question_list['id']? type=radio value=5 / The input name for each radio group is the questions id from the database. If there are 50 questions you would have 50 radio button answers submitted. How are you going to identify the radio buttons being submitted as they are dynamic? and also I would need to be stored in the session data as they might want to go back / forward a page. So basically I need to go through each $_GET item, identify it as a radio submission and put it into an array. Has anyone done anything similar before / or can point me in the right direction?? Kind regards Chris You won't get all the radio buttons sumbitted. You will have only the checked buttons. So for every question's ID you will have the radio button that was checked. Just do some testing. Try echoing the $_POST array after you submit the form. var_dump($_POST); -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The example starting values

$new = 92; # = 01011100
$mask = 15; # =
Get the bits that will be changed
$changing = $new $mask; # = 12 = 1100
Get the bits that won't be changed
$staying = $existing ~$mask; # = 176 = 1011
Combine them together
$result = $changing ^ $staying; # = 188 = 1000

Though the result is the same, logically a bitwise OR (|) would be more
appropriate. The bitwise XOR flips bits which, since in this case one set
of them is always 0 produces the same result. The bitwise OR adds the bits.
An informal set of rules is:
, as a filter, extracts those bits where you put ones in the mask
sets to zero those bits where you put zero in the mask
| sets bits
^ flips the bits where you put a one.
$evenodd 1 is true on odd numbers or otherwise tests for the rightmost
bit. Coupled with a right shift allows you to loop through a set of
bits.
for ($i=0;$i32;$i++) {
if ($bitset 1) {
echo bit $i is set;
}
$bitset = 1;
}
Anyway, avoid the most significant bit. Since in PHP there are no unsigned
integers, you might get some funny result if anything makes PHP do an
automatic type conversion.

the pager in this page works except try and choose aberdeen from the area
dropdown. You should get 18 answers which is fine except when page 2 is
pressed at the bottom the query seems to be scrubbed and it returns the full
database.
any ideas how I can 'save' the query and not create a new blank query every
time the page is slef submitted?
Get your variables, like 'area', from $_GET if they're not in $_POST.
And then you can change your page navigation links to something
like:
echo $pager-get_prev('a href={LINK_HREF}area=' . $area . '
title=Previouslaquo;/a');

IMO, unless you have a *really* good reason for doing things this way,
putting values into an array is almost always better than using the $$

i.e. why not use? $vars[ $row[0] ][ $row[2] ] = $row[1];

He just told he passes 11 arguments, never told how he does that. Well, if somebody tells you a function has 11 arguments what would you think? -- http://www.web-buddha.co.uk dynamic web programming from Reigate, Surrey UK (php, mysql, xhtml, css) look out for project karma, our new venture, coming soon!

Not to mention that they CANNOT be correctly delimited, or you would NOT be seeing that error message. It's that simple. You SHOULD have the apostrophes (or quotes) on non-numeric array indices. PHP issues an E_NOTICE error message if you don't. You may have suppressed that message, and chosen to ignore it, but that doesn't fix the code. After all, using the SAME mechanism of suppression, you can choose to ignore ALL PHP errors, no matter how drastic. Surely you cannot claim that ignoring an error that halts the script in the middle of execution is somehow correct And don't make assumptions about what my code looks like why not? besides how are you going to stop someone from assuming your code looks like [x]? One HAS to make assumptions about the code when you fail to post sufficient information about the code to correctly answer your question. - I am asking for help, not judgements, and my Richard didn't judge, he merely aired a thought (and added 'if my theories are correct' for good measure). besides you only control the question not the answer. oh and Richard is one of the best people on this list to be helping you - alienating him isn't in your best interests. You have to work at it pretty hard to alienate me... :-) I am not a spammer either, this is an application for the marketing department of a charity. charities can potentially spam just as much as anybody - that they happen to have a 'good cause' doesn't give them a 'get out of jail free' card, they have to obey the email-marketing rules just like any other organization. Yeah, I get a fair amount of spam from otherwise legitimate charities. Which is a shame, since then they DEFINITELY are not getting any money from me, ever again. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Help!
Hey Dave, Besides from example two being the correct way to call array elements. I think it has something todo with error reporting. It's the only thing that comes to mind right now. Maybe you demo server doesn't echo notices... Maybe i'm wrong .. it's friday and my brain don't work that good :) p.s. plz reply to the list :) Hmmm... In the demo version the script accesses the $_GET array - an example value: $data[email] ..which works fine in the demo app. If I quote all the values thus in the new version: $data['email'] ..the arguments appear in the correct order. I understand the second format is better to disambiguate constants but the former format works fine for the demo version. Any reason for the discrepancy?

Thanks - now the parameters reach the function intact but the mailer still does not work. Basically, the form is a self-reloader. If the form has been submitted and the data validated (including emails sent) it displays a thank you message. Otherwise it shows the starter form. All that happens when I submit is a white page - no errors (display_errors is on and error reporting set to the default level) and no html. Nada.

Re: [PHP] Help!
Dump some code to the list, just the inside function in and of itself SHOULD give enough to find the bug. It is PROBABLY how you are snagging your data inside from out, or you left out a somewhere and it is catching it. Believe me, I have had a heck of a time due to a single missing somewhere that just throws everything off.

Use debug_print_backtrace() on the function to get a dump of function call stack. Use it with an if to catch the moment where the wrong values appear. The first entry of the backtrace should point the file and line where the function was called. If you're using php4 you'll have to use var_dump(debug_backtrace()) instead of debug_print_backtrace().

Maybe it was a correct name in the context used, but, I still think Santa is a really misleading name for a mailer, and not to mention that a mass mailer identifying itself as Santa mailer in the headers is asking to be send directly to spam. Anyway, I was wrong. Then, 11 arguments Errr, passing an associative array with the email parameters wouldn't have been a cleaner and better option? He just told he passes 11 arguments, never told how he does that. Well, if somebody tells you a function has 11 arguments what would you think?

Instead you need to do something like this:

It looks like you're building your array just fine. Here though, your
second foreach needs to look like this:
[code]
foreach ($arr as $project)
{
echo $projectbr;

Your temprorary $arr variable contains only your array of titles, not
an entire row of your 2-dimensional $sonsor_id array. So you do not
need to use the $sponsor key to get at that array.

Use View Source in your browser to see what REALLY is being printed
out...
The browser is interpreting your output, at all stages, and what you
see in the browser is not what you've got.
Word may not be exactly WYSIWYG, but it tries...
A browser is *NOT* WYSIWYG to the Nth degree! :-)
For example, your ACTUAL data might ALREADY be:
lt;/agt; PREDICTED:...
Or, it might be:
lt;/#97;gt; PREDICTED:...
Or, it might be...
There are at least 3x3x3x3 possible combinations on this theme. Throw
in UTF-8 characters being presented in Latin-1, and you've got that
times a thousand.
I SUSPECT that somebody has already done htmlentities() on your data,
and so you're *seeing* /a in the browser, but your DATA is:
lt;/agt;
So you need to do the str_replace() on THAT, not on what you see.
Or figure out where you already did htmlentities, and don't do that.
Only use htmlentities() at the last possible moment, at browser output.
Never [*] use htmlentities() on data for storage, nor processing.
Only at the last micro-second before spewing out to a browser should
your raw data be converted to a form suitable for browser display.
You'll just confuse yourself otherwise, with data converted too soon,
and not being what you expect when you look at it.
* There are bound to be exceptions to this, for some special 'expert'
situations...

I cannot seem to get rid of that tag!!!
I have tried:

str_replace(lt;/agt;, , $line)
* And obviously strip_tags is not working for me either!
Do you have any suggestions?
Echo out the line before and after you perform something like
strip_tags() on it to see if you're inputting what you're expecting...
echo ( $line );
$line = strip_tags ( $line );
echo ( $line );

Show us an actual line, copy/paste, to be sure we are working on the
right thing...

* str_replace(\a, , $line)
You need to do:
$line = str_replace(/a, , $line);
Otherwise, you calculate the answer you want, and throw it away.
* preg_replace('/\/a/', '', $line) and various other attempts
Technically, you'd want:
'/\\/a/'
As \ is a special character inside '' marks, and PHP needs \\ to
represent \
It works because only \\ and \' are special inside '', so PHP
figures out \a as just \a
But it helps one understand strings better to be pedantic and use \\
inside '' to mean \
Again, it would seem you've left out the crucial step of storing the
result you want:
$line = preg_replace(..., $line);
at creating the appropriate regex for \a
Is it really /a or \a?
Because / and \ are not the same, despite the number of people, even
professional radio announcers, who insist on calling / 'backslash'
/ slash
\ backslash
You'd think they'd do their homework, eh? Oh well.
I think the browsers have mainly gotten to the point where they just
try switching things around from \ to / if you goof anyway...
Must be frustrating to write a web browser... Almost as frustrating
as trying to code HTML to one. :-)
* $line = htmlspecialchars($line)
str_replace(lt;/agt;, , $line)
This would, in theory, work IF you had '$line =' in front of the
str_replace (again), but adds a pointless extra step to convert to
HTML Entities before ripping out characters you don't want in the
first place.
* And obviously strip_tags is not working for me either!
$line = strip_tags($line);
It seems like your primary difficulty in all this is in understanding
that MOST (if not all) PHP functions on strings will return the new
value, rather than destructively modify the input string.
It is possible, in some versions of PHP, to specifically craft
functions that will ALTER the input string. But that's generally done
for performance reasons, and only in very specialized situations in
highly-optimized application code.

Hi Richard,
WOW! Thanks for such a quick response - this is just driving me
crazy! Not to mention consuming my time.
I actually had been using the $line = in front of my replace attempts.
Here is the exact offending code:
for ($i=0; $i$line_length; $i++) {
$line[$i] = htmlspecialchars($line[$i]);
echo debug: line$i is: . $line[$i] . BR;

$line[$line_length-1] = str_replace(/a, ,

Re: [PHP] help with setting menu styles with PHP
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/About_Me.php What I want to do next is to change the menu from being hard coded on all of my pages to being an include making the menu more manageable. The stumbling block is I want to be able to keep the CSS functionality where you have the active indicator which has different CSS for the link of the page you are on. I have seen this done with PHP before with something like IF on active page use this style ELSE use this style. Can any PHP gurus assist me in coding something like this? I don't believe it is too difficult, but beyond by scope right at the moment. It's not a php solution, but you can change it to one easy enough. This will give you the idea. http://www.sperling.com/examples/menu_aware/ tedd -- http://sperling.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
