PHP: Send $_POST data to my Class? - php

I'm trying to send my $_POST data to a class of mine for processing... but it doesn't seem to matter how I send it, PHP is telling me:
Trying to get property of non-object
Class method:
public function test_me_out($postdata) {
if(isset($postdata->price)) {
return "the price was: " . $postdata->price . " …and this was added.";
} else {
return "it's apparently not set...";
}
}

$_POST is not an object. You should access its information using it as an array like $_POST['my_data'].

You can still do
$postData = new ArrayObject($_POST,ArrayObject::ARRAY_AS_PROPS);
Then $postData->price will work as expected to be.

How are you calling test_me_out? Like this?
test_me_out($_POST)
$_POST is an array, not an object. Therefore you can access the variables in your function like so:
$postdata['price']

PHP how to send array variables to Class function

I'm writing a code in PHP OOP and I'm trying to send $_POST data
filtered by one Class function to another Class function that will add
the data to database. Specifically login and password in registration
form.
I have 3 Classes that will do that:
Is simple Class that handles connection to database (I think it is not necessary to put code here)
Is the Class that filters the coming $_POST-s:
class Filter extends Dbconnect {
protected $login;
protected $haslo;
public function regFilter() {
if (isset($_POST))
{
foreach($_POST as $key => $val)
{
$filterVal = strip_tags($val);
$filterVal = htmlspecialchars($filterVal);
$filterVal = stripslashes($filterVal);
$filterVal = str_replace("\\", "", $filterVal);
$filter = array(
$key => $filterVal
);
foreach($filter as $key => $val)
{
echo "[$$key]";
echo "$val";
$
{
$key
} = $val;
}
}
return $filter = array(
'login' => $login,
'haslo' => $haslo
);
}
else
{
echo "Proszę podać login i hasło!";
}
}
}
Class that will get login and password and send it to DB:
class Dbinsert extends regFilter{
//protected $login;
//protected $haslo;
protected $query;
protected $dbo;
public function insert(){
//$this->extract = extract($filter);
//$this->login = $login;
//$this->haslo = $haslo;
$this->connect();
$this->query = "INSERT INTO uzytkownik (id, nazwa, haslo) VALUES ('', :login, OLD_PASSWORD(:haslo))";
if(!$result = $this->connect()->prepare($this->query)){
echo 'Zapytanie nie powiodło się';
}
else{
$result->bindParam(':login', $login);
$result->bindParam(':haslo', $haslo);
$login = $_POST['login'];
$haslo = $_POST['haslo'];
$result->execute();
}
$dbo = null;
}
}
Now when I try to send data from form with objects:
$rejestruj = new Dbinsert();
$filtruj = $rejestruj->regFilter();
var_dump($filtruj);
$dodaj = $filtruj->insert();
I get the following result:
[$login]login
[$haslo]password123
array(2) { ["login"]= string(5) "login" ["haslo"]= string(11) "password123" }
Fatal error: Call to a member function insert() on array in `E:\Xampp\htdocs\php\bazy_danych\obiektowe\my\register.php` on line 78
Which doesn't surprises me since: login and haslo is returned from
"foreach" loop in class Filter (which is just for testing) "array(2)"
is returned from "var_dump($filtruj);"(to check if it is actually
working) and error is returned since I send an array to Class
Dbinsert - but in the function I put "extract" to get the variables.
How can I send just the variables from this filtered array to class
Dbinsert?
Edit: As #Twinfriends suggested I corrected function insert in class Dbinsert to actually use prepared statement, thats why (for now) login and haslo variables are reffering to $_POST. Now I need answer to my question.
(First time posting, thanks for edit suggestions, also any advice is appreciated since I'm quite the beginner
in PHP)
Sorry that it took so long to answer, I totally forgot your question. Well, lets take a look at your problem, hope to solve it.
I try to explain it as good as I can, so that you understand whats going on. First of all, lets look at your error message
Fatal error: Call to a member function insert() on array in
E:\Xampp\htdocs\php\bazy_danych\obiektowe\my\register.php on line 78
Okay. Call to a function on array... lets have a look at how you actually call the function:
$rejestruj = new Dbinsert();
$filtruj = $rejestruj->regFilter();
var_dump($filtruj);
$dodaj = $filtruj->insert();
And exactly here is your error. You have to understand that you call methods on objects and pass your data to this methods, not to call the methods on your data. What do I mean with that?
$rejestruj is your Dbinsert object. You create it in your first line of code here. Then, you call the regFilter function on it. Still anything is fine. As you see, var_dump gives you the expected results. So the error has to be on your last lane of code. And indeed, you try to call the method insert() on your array. And that won't work, since your array don't know any method called insert().
The right call to the method would be (Not the final one!!!):
$dodaj = $rejestruj->insert();
Now the method call should work. But in fact, it won't insert anything. Why? Because your insert() method try to bind the variables $login and $haslo - two variables the method don't know. So we need to pass the data in your method. To do that, you have to do the following changes:
Method call:
$rejestruj->insert($filtruj); // $filtruj contains your array
And your Dbinsert should look like:
class Dbinsert extends Dbconnect{
protected $query;
protected $dbo;
public function insert($data){
$this->connect();
$this->query = "INSERT INTO uzytkownik (id, nazwa, haslo) VALUES ('', :login, OLD_PASSWORD(:haslo))";
if(!$result = $this->connect()->prepare($this->query)){
echo 'Zapytanie nie powiodło się';
}
else {
$result->bindParam(':login', $data["login"]);
$result->bindParam(':haslo', $data["haslo"]);
$result->execute();
}
$dbo = null;
}
}
I hope your code works with this changes. So, while in my opinion the code should work now, I want to mention that there are many things you could improve. For example, you're not programming real "object-oriented" ... its more some pseudo OOP you're writing here. Some things are quite bad practice (could be done much easier). I don't want to dive to deep into details, since I don't know if you're interested in it. If you wish I can give you some more advises, but only if you wish.
Otherwise I really hope my answer help you. If the whole thing still doesn't work, please let me know so I can look at it again.
Have a nice day ;)
Edit:
Since it seems I haven't been clear enough, here the code how it should look like now:
$rejestruj = new Dbinsert();
$filtruj = $rejestruj->regFilter();
$dodaj = $rejestruj->insert($filtruj);

return method response after it executes to the parent method

I am using xmlprc server in codeignter for web services . the flow of my application is that i need to pass parameters to the xmlrpc server method which then should invoke another controller class method which would set the parameters in a js function and that js method is invoked concurrently .
The problem i am facing is in calling the controller class method from the xmlrpc server method and getting the response to the server parent method which could then be fetched using xmlhttprequest.
my xmlrpc server method is:
function update_p($request) {
$parameters = $request->output_parameters();
$this->session->set_userdata(array("portfolio" =>$parameters['0']["portfolio"]));
$this->session->set_userdata(array("filter" =>$parameters['0']["filter"]));
$url = base_url("ControllerClass/update_p?".$parameters['0']["portfolio"].'&'.$parameters['0']["filter"]);
header("Location: $url");
$xml_rpc_rows=array("portfolio"=>$parameters['0']["portfolio"],"filter"=>$parameters['0']["filter"]);
$response = array(
$xml_rpc_rows,
'struct');
$this->xmlrpc->send_response($response);
}
Controller Class method:
public function update_p() {
$loginid = $this->session->userdata('loginid');
if(!isset($loginid)){
die;
}
error_reporting(E_ERROR);
if (time()>$this->session->userdata('expire')) { redirect("/dashboard/logout?expired=Y","location",401); die; }
$out='';
$request="USER ".$loginid.($this->session->userdata('isMobile')?"#mobile":"")."\n";
if(isset($_GET["portfolio"])) {
$portfolio=trim($_GET["portfolio"]);
$request.='ECHO "LISTP":'."\nLISTP0 #".$portfolio;
if(isset($_GET["filter"])) {
$filter=trim($_GET["filter"]);
$request.=" -".$filter;
}
if(isset($_GET["sort"])) {
$sort=trim($_GET["sort"]);
if ($sort>=1024) $request.=" -s".($sort&1023);
else $request.=" -S".$sort;
}
$ph = isset($_GET["first"]);
if ($ph) {
$this->load->model('Model');
$resultArray = $this->Model->getData($this->session->userdata('loginid'),$this->session->userdata('isMobile')?'mobile':'default','listp');
$request.=" ".$resultArray[0]['listp'];
}
$request.="\nECHO ,\n";
if(isset($_GET["watch"])) {
$portfolio=trim($_GET["watch"]);
if ($ph)
$resultArray = $this->Model->getData($this->session->userdata('loginid'),$this->session->userdata('isMobile')?'mobile':'default','watch');
$request.='ECHO "watchl":'."\nLISTP1 #".$portfolio." -WL ".($ph?$resultArray[0]['watch']:"")."\n";
$request.='ECHO ,"watchs":'."\nLISTP1 #".$portfolio." -WS\nECHO ,\n";
}
}
$request.="RISk\nECHO ,\nPnL\n";
if ($result=$this->getData($request."BYE\n")) {
if (result!='') $out=$result."\n";
}
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
echo "{".$out."}";
ob_end_flush();
}
I can not figure out how to get the controller method result in the server method anyone who can shed some light on this would be much appreciated .
Thankyou.
Your controller method is expecting to output the result as an echo statement, which goes to the browser, rather than to return it in a variable. This means your server function is having to try to capture the output of that controller method. That setup is much more awkward and prone to error.
Unless you also need to access your update_p method directly from a browser you should change your Controller to simply return the output which really means this controller is more of a library and should probably go in the libraries folder. You will need to change your controller code a bit so that instead of grabbing the parameters from $_GET you are getting them as arguments, which in CodeIgniter is what you should be doing anyway.
So from the end of update_p just do this instead of your echo:
return "{".$out."}";
Then in your xmlrpc server do this:
$controller = new ControllerClass();
$result = $controller->update_p($parameters['0']["portfolio"], $parameters['0']["filter"]);
Then do whatever you want with your $result.

php function in array broken

I am trying to setup an array that pulls the filename and function name to run, but it not fully working.
The code is
$actionArray = array(
'register' => array('Register.php', 'Register'),
);
if (!isset($_REQUEST['action']) || !isset($actionArray[$_REQUEST['action']])) {
echo '<br><br>index<br><br>';
echo 'test';
exit;
}
require_once($actionArray[$_REQUEST['action']][0]);
return $actionArray[$_REQUEST['action']][1];
Register.php has
function Register()
{
echo 'register';
}
echo '<br>sdfdfsd<br>';
But it does not echo register and just sdfdfsd.
If I change the first lot of code from
return $actionArray[$_REQUEST['action']][1];
to
return Register();
It works, any ideas?
Thanks
Change the last line to:
return call_user_func($actionArray[$_REQUEST['action']][1]);
This uses the call_user_func function for more readable code and better portability. The following also should work (Only tested on PHP 5.4+)
return $actionArray[$_REQUEST['action']][1]();
It's almost the same as your code, but I'm actually invoking the function instead of returning the value of the array. Without the function invocation syntax () you're just asking PHP get to get the value of the variable (in this case, an array) and return it.

Magento - cart page blank caused by the following function (crashing app)

Anyone have any ideas... there's like 15 places this function is getting called, every time it hits it seems to be the problem, it gets through the function but the serialized length of :
echo "Length serialized: " . strlen(serialize($this->_items));
comes out to be about 8000 long.
public function getItemsCollection($useCache = true)
{
if (is_null($this->_items)) {
$this->_items = Mage::getModel('sales/quote_item')->getCollection()
->addFieldToFilter("quote_id", $this->getId())
;
#$this->_items->setQuote($this);
}
echo "Length serialized: " . strlen(serialize($this->_items));
exit;
return $this->_items;
}
Seems to me like there is something weird in the item object. Like one of its members has a large object tied to it. I know that I had issues saving addresses to a session object. Maybe there is something you are doing outside of this that is attaching a large object that errors out. You could do the following to get the raw sql and run it on your database to see what comes back
public function getItemsCollection($useCache = true)
{
if (is_null($this->_items)) {
$this->_items = Mage::getModel('sales/quote_item')->getCollection()
->addFieldToFilter("quote_id", $this->getId())
;
#$this->_items->setQuote($this);
}
echo (String)Mage::getModel('sales/quote_item')->getCollection()->getSelect();
exit;
return $this->_items;
}
i had same issues when i coded with Magento, it's linked to recursion, try var_dump() instead of echo()

php default value and non-object

i have a multipage form with some textfields. When you fill out the form and press next the form stores the values in an object.
When you press the backbutton it reloads those values in textfields. This works fine.
But when you initially load the form, the object isn't created so there is nothing to load the values from and i get a Call to a member function on a non-object error.
example:
<inputfield value='$object->getValue()'>
is there a way to tell it that when the object doesn't exist to just leave it empty?
You could do the following before using the object:
// All methods called on this object return an empty string.
class EmptyObject {
public function __call($name, $args) {
return '';
}
}
// Use fake object if $object is not defined correctly.
if (!is_object($object)) {
$object = new EmptyObject();
}
__call is a magic method in PHP. It gets invoked every time an undefined method is called on the object.
The is also an isset method:
if(isset($object)){
//it is there
}
Try this:
$output = "<inputfield value='". (isset($object) ? $object->getValue() : '') . "'>";
There is is_object method:
if (is_object($object)){
// it is there
}
So you can check for it something like this:
<inputfield value='<?php is_object(#$object) ? $object->getValue() : '';?>'>
