Working on a project of translating website and I had chose this solution
.
I'm trying to accomplish something like :
$VAR1 = $translate->__('Word_To_Translate');
This, not works for me since, the result is directly shown in stdout of the webpage. Even so when trying to call $VAR1 no result is returned.
This is not easily possible with the class you've mentioned.
If you wish to edit the class so it'll return the value instead of echoing it, you can edit class.translation.php, replace the two occurances of echo $str; with return $str;, and replace echo $this->lang[$this->language][$str]; with return $this->lang[$this->language][$str] (simply changing echo to return on both instances).
//$VAR1 delegating
$VAR1 = $translate->__('Word_To_Translate');
//class.translation.php
`class Translator {
private $language = 'en';
private $lang = array();
public function __construct($language){
$this->language = $language;
}
private function findString($str) {
if (array_key_exists($str, $this->lang[$this->language])) {
return $this->lang[$this->language][$str];
return;
}
return $str;
}
private function splitStrings($str) {
return explode('=',trim($str));
}
public function __($str) {
if (!array_key_exists($this->language, $this->lang)) {
if (file_exists($this->language.'.txt')) {
$strings = array_map(array($this,'splitStrings'),file($this->language.'.txt'));
foreach ($strings as $k => $v) {
$this->lang[$this->language][$v[0]] = $v[1];
}
return $this->findString($str);
}
else {
return $str;
}
}
else {
return $this->findString($str);
}
}
}`
Switched the echo for a return
Thank you very much uri2x && Rizier123.
For the moment looks that it is working solution.
Best wishes !

I'm not particularly familiar with php, and I'm having trouble understanding what's happening. Using a condensed skeleton of what I have:
class Helper
{
public function __construct($value)
{
$this->value = $value;
//etc
}
private function prefix($val)
{
return '1234' . $val;
}
private function otherFunction()
{
$this->value->someFunction(function ($err, $result) {
if($err !== null) {
echo $err->getMessage();
}
return $result;
});
}
public function help()
{
echo $this->prefix('5678'); //outputs 12345678
echo is_null($this->otherFunction()); //outputs 1
}
}
Why does otherFunction return null? I can echo $result right before the return and see what I'm expecting, but it's null afterwards.
Your otherFunction() doesn't return anything. Probably you echo $result inside of the callback function passed to $this->value->someFunction().
Add return just before $this->value->someFunction(... to return the value from otherFunction().
Say I have to similar function :
public function auth(){
return $someResponse;
}
public function collect(){
return $someOtherResponse
}
Question : When one of the response get passed to another class, is there any way to check which function returned the response ?
In a purely object-oriented way, wanting to attach information to a value is akin to wrapping it into a container possessing context information, such as:
class ValueWithContext {
private $value;
private $context;
public function __construct($value, $context) {
$this->value = $value;
$this->context = $context;
}
public value() {
return $this->value;
}
public context() {
return $this->context;
}
}
You can use it like this:
function auth()
{
return new ValueWithContext($someresponse, "auth");
}
function collect()
{
return new ValueWithContext($someotherrpesonse, "collect");
}
This forces you to be explicit about the context attached to the value, which has the benefit of protecting you from accidental renamings of the functions themselves.
As per my comment, using arrays in the return will give you a viable solution to this.
It will allow a way to see what has been done;
function auth()
{
return (array("auth" => $someresponse));
}
function collect()
{
return (array("collect" => $someotherrpesonse));
}
class myClass
{
function doSomething($type)
{
if (function_exists($type))
{
$result = $type();
if (isset($result['auth']))
{
// Auth Used
$auth_result = $result['auth'];
}
else if (isset($result['collect']))
{
// Collect used
$collect_result = $result['collect'];
}
}
}
}
It can also give you a way to fail by having a return array("fail" => "fail reason")
As comments say also, you can just check based on function name;
class myClass
{
function doSomething($type)
{
switch ($type)
{
case "auth" :
{
$result = auth();
break;
}
case "collect" :
{
$result = collect();
break;
}
default :
{
// Some error occurred?
}
}
}
}
Either way works and is perfectly valid!
Letting the two user defined functions auth() & collect() call a common function which makes a call to debug_backtrace() function should do the trick.
function setBackTrace(){
$backTraceData = debug_backtrace();
$traceObject = array_reduce($backTraceData, function ($str, $val2) {
if (trim($str) === "") {
return $val2['function'];
}
return $str . " -> " . $val2['function'];
});
return $traceObject;
}
function getfunctionDo1(){
return setBackTrace();
}
function getfunctionDo2(){
return setBackTrace();
}
class DoSomething {
static function callfunctionTodo($type){
return (($type === 1) ? getfunctionDo1() : getfunctionDo2());
}
}
echo DoSomething::callfunctionTodo(1);
echo "<br/>";
echo DoSomething::callfunctionTodo(2);
/*Output
setBackTrace -> getfunctionDo1 -> callfunctionTodo
setBackTrace -> getfunctionDo2 -> callfunctionTodo
*/
The above function would output the which function returned the response
I cannot workout why this script always returns 0. If I change it to echo getSKU() it works, but Quantity, Price or Name never seems to work. If anybody has any ideas please, please help this is irritating the life out of me!
<?php
session_start();
$sku = "0001";
if (!isset($_SESSION[$sku])) {
$_SESSION[$sku] = new product($sku, 5);
} else {
}
echo $_SESSION[$sku]->getQuantity();
class product {
var $sku;
var $name;
var $price;
var $quantity;
function __construct($par1, $par2) {
$this->sku = $par1;
$this->quantity = $par2;
}
function setSKU($x) {
$this->sku = $x;
}
function getSKU() {
echo $this->sku;
}
function setName($x) {
$this->name = $x;
}
function getName() {
echo $this->name;
}
function setPrice($x) {
$this->price = $x;
}
function getPrice() {
echo $this->price;
}
function setQuantity($x) {
$this->quantity = $x;
}
function incrementQuantity() {
$this->quantity++;
}
function getQuantity() {
echo $this->quantity;
}
}
You should use return instead of echo. Your get...-methods currently don't return something (just implicitly null), they just echo the value you want to return.
To fix this, just replace in every get...-method echo with return - i.e.
function getQuantity() {
return $this->quantity;
}
In addition to that, you should know, that you cant store objects in $_SESSION (actually you could, but then you have to implement the magic __sleep and __wakeup-methods..).
You should think about other solutions to store your products inside the session (i.e. serialize them)
you shouldn't echo your attribute in get methodes
echo $this->Variable;
you should always return them.
return $this->Variable;
return returns program control to the calling module. Execution
resumes at the expression following the called module's invocation
for more information on return check the documentation here
while the issues brought up in the other answers should definitely be addressed, to answer your question i believe the quantity is probably not set. can you try adding this line?
$_SESSION[$sku]->setQuantity(5);
$_SESSION[$sku]->getQuantity();
Is PHP exists a function that detect the change of variable?
That is something like this:
//called when $a is changed.
function variableChanged($value) {
echo "value changed to " . $value;
}
$a = 1;
//attach the variable to the method.
$a.attachTo("variableChanged");
$a = 2;
$a = 3;
//expected output:
//value changed to 2
//value changed to 3
I know that it is easy to achieve if I use the "setter" method. But since I am working on some existing codes, I am not able to modify them. Can somebody tell me how to achieve my purpose? Thanks.
know that it is easy to achieve if I use the "setter" method. But since I am working on some existing codes, I am not able to modify them.
I assume that you can change some code, but not the object / class you are working with. If you cannot change any code at all this question would be useless.
What you can do is make your own class, extending the class you are working with, and adding your setter there. For all purposes you can not-override the parent setting, except for a magic setter on whatever you need to track. Track changes and then call the parent functions, so no changes in any other internal workings will be in effect.
This could only be achieved by wrapping your variable within a class, and implementing a onchange yourself.
ie.
class MyVarContainer {
var $internalVar = array();
function __get($name) {
return !empty($this->internalVar[$name]) $this->internalVar[$name] ? FALSE;
}
function __set($name, $value) {
$oldval = $this->$name;
$this->internalVar[$name] = $value;
if($oldval !== FALSE) {
onUpdated($name, $oldval, $value);
} else {
onCreated($name, $value);
}
}
function onCreated($name, $value) {
}
function onUpdated($name, $oldvalue, $newvalue) {
}
}
You could revised your code as simple like this just to produce that expected output you want.
function variableChanged($value) {
return "value changed to " . $value;
}
$a = 1;
echo $a = variableChanged(2);
echo '<br/>';
echo $a = variablechanged(3);
=================
//output
value changed to 2
value changed to 3
or using a class like this....
class VariableHandler{
private $Variable;
function setVariable($initialValue = NULL){
$this->Variable = $initialValue;
return $initialValue;
}
function changeValue($newValue = NULL){
$this->Variable = $newValue;
return "value has change to ". $newValue;
}
}
$var = new VariableHandler;
echo $a = $var->setVariable(1);
echo '<br/>';
echo $var->changeValue(2);
echo '<br/>';
echo $var->changeValue(3);
=================
//output
value changed to 2
value changed to 3
Besides using a debugger:
The SplObserver interface is used alongside SplSubject to implement
the Observer Design Pattern.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.splobserver.php
Or the magic methods __get() and __set(): Encapsulating the variable into a class, you could implement a event handler yourself and register the change of a variable. Also you could attach callbacks like here:
<?php
header("content-type: text/plain");
class WatchVar {
private $data = array();
private $org = array();
private $callbacks = array();
public function __set($name, $value) {
if (!array_key_exists($name, $this->data)) {
$this->org[$name] = $value;
} else {
//variable gets changed again!
$this->triggerChangedEvent($name, $value);
}
$this->data[$name] = $value;
}
public function &__get($name) {
if (array_key_exists($name, $this->data)) {
if ($this->data[$name] != $this->org[$name]) {
//variable has changed, return original
//return $this->org[$name];
//or return new state:
return $this->data[$name];
} else {
//variable has not changed
return $this->data[$name];
}
}
}
public function addCallback($name, $lambdaFunc) {
$this->callbacks[$name] = $lambdaFunc;
}
protected function triggerChangedEvent($name, $value) {
//$this->data[$name] has been changed!
//callback call like:
call_user_func($this->callbacks[$name], $value);
}
}
$test = new WatchVar;
$test->addCallback('xxx', function($newValue) { echo "xxx has changed to {$newValue}\n"; });
$test->xxx = "aaa";
echo $test->xxx . "\n";
//output: aaa
$test->xxx = "bbb";
//output: xxx has changed to bbb
echo $test->xxx . "\n";
//output bbb
function messyFunction(&$var) {
$var = "test";
}
messyFunction($test->xxx);
//output:
I am trying to build a function that will call another function.
For example, if I have an array full of function names to call, is it possible to call a function for every array value without writing it in a script?
Example:
function email($val=NULL) {
if($val)
$this->_email = $val;
else
return $this->_email;
}
function fname($val=NULL) {
if($val)
$this->_fname = $val;
else
return $this->_fname;
}
For email, fname, etc.
But I want to have it like:
function contr_val($key,$val) {
function $key($val=NULL) {
if($val)
$this->_$key = $val;
else
return $this->_$key;
}
function $key($val="hallo");
}
And call it with:
contr_val("email", "test")
You're really trying to create member variables dynamically and retrieve their values. This is what __get() and __set() are for.
Here's how you could use it:
class TestClass {
var $data = array();
public function __set($n, $v) { $this->data[$n] = $v; }
public function __get($n) {
return (isset($this->data[$n]) ? $this->data[$n] : null);
}
public function contr_val($k, $v = NULL) {
if ($v)
$this->$k = $v;
else
return $this->$k;
}
};
$sherp = new TestClass;
$sherp->contr_val("Herp", "Derp");
echo "Herp is: " . $sherp->contr_val("Herp") . "\n";
echo "Narp is: " . $sherp->contr_val("Narp") . "\n";
Something like this:
/*
Input: $val - any value
$varname - the variable name, for instance: _email
*/
function checkValue($val=NULL, $varname) {
if($val)
$this->$var = $val;
else
return $this->$var;
}
checkValue("hello", "_email");
checkValue("hello2", "_name");
If you are doing this for a class, consider using PHP's magic methods __get() and
__set().
In an array full of function names, this calls every function that exists.
ghoti#pc:~$ cat functest.php
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
function one() { print "one\n"; }
function two() { print "two\n"; }
function three() { print "three\n"; }
$a=array( "one", "two", "three", "four" );
foreach ($a as $item) {
if (function_exists($item)) {
$item();
} else {
print "No such function: $item\n";
}
}
ghoti#pc:~$ ./functest.php
one
two
three
No such function: four
ghoti#pc:~$
You need to check if the function exists or not:
function contr_val($key,$val) {
if (!function_exists($key)) {
function $key($val=NULL) {
if ($val)
$this->_$key = $val;
}
}
else {
return $this->_$key;
}
}
