--- Begin Message ---Hello everybody, In this class sketch: <?php class Pagination { ... public static function Pagination ($total_records, $limit, $page) { $total_pages = ceil($total_records / $limit); $page = max($page, 1); $page = min($page, $total_pages); $offset = ($page -1) * $limit; $pagi_obj= new stdClass; $pagi_obj->total_pages = $total_pages; $pagi_obj->offset = $offset; $pagi_obj->limit = $limit; $pagi_obj->page; return $pagi_obj; } } Why do the author used a stdClass ? What are the advantages of using a stdClass? Since we are already inside a class, why do we need to create a new object from another class, inside this one? Why do we keep the values passed as params on method Pagination inside this stdClass object, and not inside Pagination own properties for example? Any help clarifying this, knowing that I'm a newbie, Regards, Márcio

--- Begin Message ---Hello Márcio, stdClass is simply an empty class, without any properties or methods. The object in the code sample is used to return multiple values at once. He could also have used an associative array to achieve that, but by choosing an object, he shows his affinity to the object oriented programming style. The empty stdClass has the advantage of being a "blank" class. You can assign new properties or methods without minding about properties and methods that already exist in the class. Besides that, it also doesn't use much memory. (Don't see that as performance boosting tip! There are much better ways to do that. Besides that, comprehensible design > performance.) By the way, there are many reasons for creating objects inside of other objects. This should not be considered an exception. I don't know where this code belongs to, so I can't clear out if it is good or bad OOP style. Just think about everything in classes and objects - even return values or other things, that you would normally consider as "volatile". (eg. a network connection) Have a nice day, Alex ____________________________________ Austrian Optic Technologies GmbH Eisgrubengasse 2-6, A-2334 Vösendorf/Austria Firmenbuch Nr.: FN 93629s Firmenbuchgericht: Landesgericht Wien UID-NR.: ATU 14976908 Disclaimer: Diese Nachricht ist ausschließlich für den bezeichneten Adressaten oder deren Vertreter bestimmt.

(eg. a > network connection) It would be a nice exercise to practice. :) Thanks for the tip. And thanks a lot for the reply, I'm almost there... one last newbie question: When we have something like this: Class Pagination { Public static function Pagination ($limit, $total_records, $page) { $pagi_obj= new stdClass; $pagi_obj->total_pages = $total_pages; $pagi_obj->offset = $offset; $pagi_obj->limit = $limit; $pagi_obj->page = $page; return $pagi_obj; ... How can we, later, have something like this, for example: $pagination_obj=Pagination::Pagination(some params) $pagination_obj->offset; ? I mean: When we instantiate the class by doing: $pagination_obj=Pagination::Pagination(some params) We will have an object ($pagi_obj) returned where the properties of that object will be *referring* to the values passed on the method argument, right? How does those $pagi_obj properties, can then be accessible by doing $pagination_obj->offset; ? I mean, they are attributes of our stdClass object (aka pagi_obj), and they are not attributes of our Pagination class, or are they? Thanks in advance, Márcio

The Pagination class built the object for you and assigned those vars to it. It then returned the object and you assigned it the name $pagination_obj. HTH -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com

--- Begin Message ---Hi there, I am currently struggling in forcing Word to show a UTF-8 encoded document. The generated document is a normal web page with generated content from a mysql database. When I remove the header commands, the document with proper russian characters is displayed fine in the browser, but when I add [CODE] header ("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-word;charset=utf-8"); header ("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=questionnaire_".date("Ymd_his").".doc"); [/CODE] , Word opens and displays the information as chinese letters instead of russian. This also happens for spanish and french special characters, they are also incorrectly displayed. Any clues how I can force Word to display UTF-8 correctly? Thanks a lot in advance!

--- Begin Message ---How would you go about ensuring the memory is not exhausted when running a script ? I have a script, which to make it basic ... reads values from files, I create an array of values per file then with a foreach insert values into a table, I have added a line to echo the memory use after each array is done (after insert is done and the foreach is complete for the file) with: -> echo "Mem SQL: ".memory_get_usage() .

I had something similar to your script where I would read lines from a huge file and then insert the contents into my database. Before adding the above the process would take 20-30 minutes. After freeing the results after each insert my script completed in about 5-8 minutes. Just add that within your foreach loop after you execute your query that inserts the info. Hope that helps. Dan

The expression you have -- "($x != false)" -- will be true whether $x is 0, NULL, an empty string, an empty array, or actually FALSE. But "$x !== false" will only be true in the last case. Ben

In your version, Jim, only the page 'browse.php' will examine the GET-parameter called 'letter'. In Terion's version, any page with this code in it will examine the 'letter' parameter. Either one might be appropriate, depending on the context, but they don't have quite the same effect. Ben
