I have multiple branches and need to have different configuration based on the branch. I am using prepend loader class for configuration purpose.I would like to know the best way to do this. I have 2 options with me please provide suggestions regrading those as well.
1. Give the branch name as argument in the loader.
2. Check the PWD and similar parameters in the loader class
Any suggestion on this context is appreciated.
Thanks!!!
Take a look at AppKernel.php file into symfony2. Into this file will be this function
public function registerContainerConfiguration(LoaderInterface $loader)
{
$loader->load(__DIR__.'/config/config_'.$this->getEnvironment().'.yml');
}
You can "hack" this function for your need.
Obviously you have to "import" (use statement) a file where you specify the "rules" for load the correct file.
One can use following php function:
realpath($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
This will provide the path which can then be exploded to get the branch name. This solution is working fine since couple of weeks, so I am sure that this is the easiest and safest way to do so.

There is a DoctrineExtension in the
Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DependencyInjection\DoctrineExtension
package. I cant find where it is defined in the framework and how do I replace this class by my own. I want to change some behavior of this extension.
The file itself is located under: vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle/Doctrine/Bundle/DoctrineBundle/DependencyInjection
I think to change it you will probably have to extend DoctrineBundle with:
public function getContainerExtension()
{
return new MyDoctrineExtension();
}
Have not tried it myself. I expect there will be plenty of other issues with trying to change such a core file. But maybe not. Let us know if it works. Might come in handy.
I'm always using a function to write to a log file, but this function is defined in a file among many other things that I don't need to include.
I was wondering, is it possible to define a function somewhere inside php to make it available without the need to include the source file? Sort of like how I can just use echo or die, or isset. Could I create my own function to use it this way?
Thank you.
No. To do that, you'll have to write a PHP extension in C. Any PHP code will always need to be included explicitly one way or another.
PHP has the option to always automatically include a file at the beginning though: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.auto-prepend-file
Actually, you need to make a module with your function.
Other ways:
make autoload. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.autoload.php
put only this function to other file and include it everytime you need.
you can add you log class in set_include_path path or add this function to pear library class
I was wondering if yii components are also supporting the theme feature? In my environment right now a component is only considering files within the component/views/ folder.
Now that I am also using themes it would be nice to tell the component to look for the view under the themes/themeName/ folder.
Using the method below I can work around this but it certainly doesn't feel like this is the yii-way to do it.
protected function renderContent()
{
$view = './../../../themes/'.Yii::app()->theme->name.'/views/viewName';
$this->render($view);
}
Do you know of a more elegant solution to achieve this?
There isn't any theming on components. Mainly because they're not intended to be rendering content for anything. Nothing wrong with that though, sometimes it's required.
Easiest solution is probably to just make it more readable, using path aliases always helps:
protected function renderContent()
{
$view = 'webroot.themes.'.Yii::app()->theme->name.'.views.viewName';
$this->render($view);
}
Or you could add a method the component, or extend CComponent to get it across all components if you want it:
public function getViewsPath(){
return 'webroot.themes.'.Yii::app()->theme->name.'.views';
}
Or you could set a path alias:
Yii::setPathOfAlias('theme','webroot.themes.'.Yii::app()->theme->name);
Then you could use that anywhere in your application provided you run it at an early enough point in the process.
I got a PHP library (PHP Markdown) in my library fold in an standard Zend Framework application. What is the best way to load the file and all it's classes to use in my models and controllers.
Structure:
library/phpMarkdown/markdown.php
Note:
PHP Markdown has a really ugly structure: It's only real "API" is a simple function, not a class. So the elegant was do not work for this exact case, but regarding the question the genearl solution the correctly named files/class is also "the right answer.
Edit
So much good input here, really not sure which answer I should accept! Thanks to you all!
The autoloader
Just instantiate the class and the autoloader should find it. If it doesn't you need to add the namespace and path.
If you have a class in the following tree (for exemple) : library/My/Tool.php
You will need to add this to your application.ini :
autoloaderNamespaces[] = "My_"
And then in your code you just call :
$tool = new My_Tool();
Edit :
in the file Tool.php you must follow the Zend Naming Conventions and have something like this :
<?php
class My_Tool {
}
For more informations see this : Zend Naming conventions
To keep it simple and just add that one file, you could put something like this in your Bootstrap.php:
protected function _initLoad(){
Zend_Loader::loadFile('markdown.php', '/../library');
}
I just copied markdown.php into the application library and put this little function in the bootstrap. You could also use Zend_Loader::loadClass(); if you want.
I have a project with lot of files. Normally each file contains one class definition. Currently when I need an instance of object I use loader, which includes necessary file and instantiates it. Such approach though doesn't allow IntelliSense to work properly. And I prefer more readable new MyObject() than $loader->load("MyObject").
I use PHPStorm IDE. Is it possible to configure it to add necessary require_once("some_file.php") when I use appropriate class type?
Solution 1:
Switch to using the autoload feature of PHP (5+) and then use new MyObject():
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.spl-autoload-register.php
Solution 2:
Use a live template defined like this:
/** #var $CLASSNAME$ $VARNAME$ **/
$VARNAME$ = $loader->load("$CLASSNAME$");
You can then choose the class name and the vriable name each time you use the livetemplate.
The feature to add use statements automatically will be available in PhpStorm 5.0.
If it's a specific project you could always create a template wich includes all you're crap! Ten when you do file-new it will give you a file based on that template.
