Re: [PHP] advise on simplfying session usage
In a session context with a lot of session vars, you can use magic methods
__set and __get :
class s{
private function __set($property, $value){
$_SESSION[$property] = $value ;
}
private function __get($property){
return $_SESSION[$property] ;
}
}
and work with session like an object with the same access :
$s->one = 'one';
$s->oneTwo = array('one', 'two');
echo $s->one;
var_dump($s->oneTwo);

RE: [PHP] advise on simplfying session usage
When I have many calls to $_SESSION I do:
$s = &$_SESSION;
$s['foo'] = 'bar';
echo $s['foo']; //bar

Subject: [PHP] advise on simplfying session usage
Again, coming from ASP background, I'm trying to minimize the typing for
most needed functionalities..
in asp, to set a session var, you go <%session("age")=90%> and to output it,
you just go <%=session("age")%>
in php, you've got to _SESSION['age']=90. that's a lot of keyboarding, lots
of double key strokes and the entire word session has to be uppercase.
of course, if you use an IDE and you get fast at it, this may not be an
issue but I wanted to simplify it anyway.
so the plan is this
To achieve this; I wrote this preliminary function;
function _s($var,$val = "r4r53d323,9e809023890j832e@14fdsffdd")
{
if ($val == "r4r53d323,9e809023890j832e@14fdsffdd")
{return $_SESSION[$var];}
else
{$_SESSION[$var] = $val;}
}
Now, what's that number you ask!... it's just a value which I figured I
would never end up in a real app.
It's just a way for me to use default argument of the function so I can call
_s function with 1 or 2 arguments.
Can this be done a better way? How do you use _s function with 1 or 2
arguments so in 1 arg mode, you can use it as a set, and in 2 arg mode, you
use it as a way to return val.
Is func_get_args route the only way? performance wise which one would
better?

While the languages share a lot of similar conceptual and solution space, they don't really share that much either syntactically or semantically beyond a few basic things. Learning to use a new language well is really all about learning the idioms of that language, well beyond just the syntactic elements. PHP has lots of ways to accomplish the same thing (almost like Perl in that way...) and it really pays to explore the rich, rich library available. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] advise on simplfying session usage
I agree... that was just a wild idea! :)
Let's forget about it!
What's a good PHP programming editor you'd recommend on a mac for starters?

if you haven't (yet) disabled caps-lock, this is one thing it's
typically used for -- successful strings of capital letters.
Anyway, if you use $_SESSION[] a lot, then creating a short 2-char
function can be helpful. Someone else coming along later to maintain
your code might be highly mystified about it though.

You should add in a check to make sure the $_SESSION[$var] actually
exists as an index in your first return statement and return a value
you can check against for success/failure.

This would be the safest way in this case. I'm not 100% how this would
devolve into byte-code, but my assumption is that there would be a
very slight performance cost, however, since you are calling a
function for every access to the $_SESSION array, you've already bit
the majority of that cost.

All in all, I would not use this sort of aliasing of a function to an
array to save typing. Get an IDE if it really is that onerous. I can
type ses and it expands to $_SESSION['index'] automatically
dropping me at the first apostrophe with the whole inner string
highlighted. Saves *LOTS* of typing.
