2. Class Information Functions
• Checking if a Class already exists
• Finding currently loaded classes
• Finding out if Methods and Properties
exists
• Checking the type of Class
• Finding out the Class name
3. Checking if a Class already exists
• You can use class_exists() function
<?php
include_once(quot;../ch2/emailer.class.phpquot;);
if( class_exists(quot;Emailerquot;))
{
$emailer = new Emailer(quot;hasin@pageflakes.comquot;);
}
else
{
die(quot;A necessary class is not foundquot;);
}
?>
4. Finding currently loaded Classes
• You can use get_declared_classes()
function.
<?php
include_once(quot;../ch2/emailer.class.phpquot;);
print_r(get_declared_classes());
?>
5. Finding out if Methods and Properties Exists
• You can use method_exists() and
property_exists() functions
6. Checking the Type of Class
• You can use is_a() function to check
the type of a class
<?php
class ParentClass
{
Its a ChildClass Type Object
}
Its also a ParentClass Type Object
class ChildClass extends ParentClass
{
}
$cc = new ChildClass();
output
if (is_a($cc,quot;ChildClassquot;)) echo quot;It's a ChildClass Type Objectquot;;
echo quot;nquot;;
if (is_a($cc,quot;ParentClassquot;)) echo quot;It's also a ParentClass Type
Objectquot;;
?>
7. Finding out the Class name
• You can use get_class() function
<?php
class ParentClass
{
}
class ChildClass extends ParentClass
{
}
$cc = new ChildClass();
echo get_class($cc)
?>
8. Exception Handling
• One of the most improved features in PHP5 is that you can
now use exceptions, like other OOP languages out there.
PHP5 introduces these exception to simplify error
management <?php
//class.db.php
error_reporting(E_ALL - E_WARNING);
class db
{
function connect()
{
if (!pg_connect(quot;host=localhost password=pass user=username
dbname=dbquot;)) throw new Exception(quot;Cannot connect
to the databasequot;);
}
}
$db = new db();
try {
$db->connect();
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
print_r($e);
}
?>
10. <?php
class QueryIterator implements Iterator
Iterators {
private $result;
private $connection;
private $data;
private $key=0;
• An Iterator is a new private $valid;
command introduce in function __construct($dbname, $user, $password)
{
PHP5 to help traversing $this->connection = pg_connect(quot;dbname={$dbname} user={$user}quot;);
}
through any object public function exceute($query)
{
$this->result = pg_query($this->connection,$query);
if (pg_num_rows($this->result)>0)
$this->next();
}
public function rewind() {}
public function current() {
return $this->data;
}
public function key() {
return $this->key;
}
public function next() {
if ($this->data = pg_fetch_assoc($this->result))
{
$this->valid = true;
$this->key+=1;
}
else
$this->valid = false;
}
public function valid() {
return $this->valid;
}
}
?>
11. The Code In Action
<?php
$qi= new QueryIterator(quot;golpoquot;,quot;postgres2quot;,quot;quot;);
$qi->exceute(quot;select name, email from usersquot;);
while ($qi->valid())
{
print_r($qi->current());
$qi->next();
}
?>
12. ArrayObject
• Another useful object introduced in PHP5 is ArrayObject()
that wraps the regular PHP array and gives it an OO flavor.
You can programmatically access the array in an OO style
<?php
$users = new ArrayObject(array(quot;hasinquot;=>quot;hasin@pageflakes.comquot;,
quot;afifquot;=>quot;mayflower@phpxperts.netquot;,
quot;ayeshaquot;=>quot;florence@pageflakes.netquot;));
$iterator = $users->getIterator();
while ($iterator->valid())
{
echo quot;{$iterator->key()}'s Email address is
{$iterator->current()}nquot;;
$iterator->next();
}
?>
13. ArrayObject() Methods
Append()
•
This method can add any value at the end of the collection
GetIterator()
•
This method simply creates an Iterator object and return so that you can
perform iteration using Iteration style. This is very useful method for getting
an Iterator object from any array
OffsetExists()
•
The method can determine whether the specified offset exists in the
collection
OffsetGet()
•
This method returns the value for specified offset
OffsetSet()
•
Like offsetGet(), this method can set any value to the specified index()
OffsetUnset()
•
This method can unset the element at the specified index
14. ArrayObject() in Action
<?php
$users = new ArrayObject(array(quot;hasinquot;=>quot;hasin@pageflakes.comquot;,
quot;afifquot;=>quot;mayflower@phpxperts.netquot;,
quot;ayeshaquot;=>quot;florence@pageflakes.netquot;));
$iterator = $users->getIterator();
while ($iterator->valid())
{
echo quot;{$iterator->key()}'s Email address is
{$iterator->current()}nquot;;
$iterator->next();
}
?>
15. Array to Object
<?php
class ArrayToObject extends ArrayObject
{
public function __get($key)
{
return $this[$key];
}
public function __set($key,$val)
{
$this[$key] = $val;
}
}
?>
<?php
$users = new ArrayToObject(array(quot;hasinquot;=>quot;hasin@pageflakes.comquot;,
quot;afifquot;=>quot;mayflower@phpxperts.netquot;,
quot;ayeshaquot;=>quot;florence@pageflakes.netquot;));
echo $users->afif;
?>
16. <?php
Accessing Objects in class users implements ArrayAccess
{
Array Style private $users;
public function __construct()
{
$this->users = array();
}
public function offsetExists($key)
{
return isset($this->users[$key]);
}
public function offsetGet($key)
{
return $this->users[$key];
}
public function offsetSet($key, $value)
{
$this->users[$key] = $value;
}
public function offsetUnset($key)
{
unset($this->users[$key]);
}
}
$users = new users();
$users['afif']=quot;mayflower@phpxperts.netquot;;
$users['hasin']=quot;hasin@pageflakes.comquot;;
$users['ayesha']=quot;florence@phpxperts.netquot;;
echo $users['afif']
?>
17. Serialization
• Serialization is a process of persisting the state of
an object in any location, either physical files or in
variables. <?php
class SampleObject
{
public $var1;
private $var2;
The script will output a string, which
PHP understands how to unserialize.
protected $var3;
static $var4;
public function __construct()
{
$this->var1 = quot;Value Onequot;;
$this->var2 = quot;Value Twoquot;;
$this->var3 = quot;Value Threequot;;
SampleObject::$var4 = quot;Value Fourquot;;
}
}
$so = new SampleObject();
$serializedso =serialize($so);
file_put_contents(quot;text.txtquot;,$serializedso);
18. Unserialize
<?php
include_once(quot;sampleobject.class.phpquot;);
$serializedcontent = file_get_contents(quot;text.txtquot;);
$unserializedcontent = unserialize($serializedcontent);
print_r($unserializedcontent);
?>
Ouput
Remember : We can't save SampleObject Object
the state of a static variables (
by serializing [var1] => Value One
[var2:private] => Value Two
[var3:protected] => Value Three
)
19. Magic Methods in Serialization
• PHP5 provides two magic methods to
hook in process of serialization :
– __sleep <?php
class ResourceObject
{
– __awake private $resource;
private $dsn;
public function __construct($dsn)
{
$this->dsn = $dsn;
$this->resource = pg_connect($this->dsn);
}
public function __sleep()
{
pg_close($this->resource);
return array_keys( get_object_vars( $this ) );
}
public function __wakeup()
{
$this->resource = pg_connect($this->dsn);
}
}
?>
20. Object Cloning
• PHP5 introduces a new approach
while copying objects from one into
another, which is quite different to
PHP4.
– PHP4 → deep copy
– PHP5 → shallow copy
21. Object Cloning
<?php
PHP4 Output : Hasin
$sample1 = new StdClass();
$sample1->name = quot;Hasinquot;;
$sample2 = $sample1;
$sample2->name = quot;Afifquot;;
echo $sample1->name;
PHP5 Output : Afif
?>
If you wanna make deep copy in PHP5, you can use clone keyword
<?
$sample1 = new stdClass();
$sample1->name = quot;Hasinquot;;
PHP5 Output : Hasin
$sample2 =clone $sample1;
$sample2->name = quot;Afifquot;;
echo $sample1->name;
?>
22. Autoloading Classes or
Classes on Demand
• While working with big projects, another very good practice
is loading classes only when you need it. That means you
shouldn't over consume the memory by loading unnecessary
classes all the time.
<?php
function __autoload($class)
{
include_once(quot;{$class}.class.phpquot;);
}
$s = new Emailer(quot;hasin@somewherein.netquot;);
?>
Because of __autoload() function, PHP5
will auto load a file named class.emailer.php
in the current directory
23. Method Chaining
• Method chaining is another process introduced in PHP5 by
which you can directly access the methods and attributes of
an object when it is returned by any function
$SomeObject>getObjectOne()>getObjectTwo()>callMethodOfObjectTwo();
Or in a real life ....
$dbManager>select(quot;idquot;,quot;emailquot;)>from(quot;userquot;)>where(quot;id=1quot;)
>limit(1)>result();
24. <?php
class DBManager
{
private $selectables = array();
private $table;
private $whereClause;
private $limit;
public function select()
{
$this>selectables=func_get_args();
return $this;
}
public function from($table)
........
{
public function result()
$this>table = $table;
{
return $this;
$query = quot;SELECT quot;.join(quot;,quot;,$this>selectables).quot; FROM
}
{$this>table}quot;;
public function where($clause)
if (!empty($this>whereClause))
{
$query .= quot; WHERE {$this>whereClause}quot;;
$this>whereClause = $clause;
if (!empty($this>limit))
return $this;
$query .= quot; LIMIT {$this>limit}quot;;
}
echo quot;The generated Query is : nquot;.$query;
public function limit($limit)
}
{
}
$this>limit = $limit;
$db= new DBManager();
return $this;
$db>select(quot;idquot;,quot;namequot;)>from(quot;usersquot;)>where(quot;id=1quot;)>
}
limit(1)>result();
........
?>
The output
The generated Query is :
SELECT id,name FROM users WHERE id=1 LIMIT 1
25. Life cycle of an Object in PHP and
Object Caching
• An object is live until the script ends. As soon as the
script finishes executing, any object instantiated by this
script also dies
• Unlike web tier in Java, there is no global or application-
level scope in PHP
• But there is some object caching technology available
for PHP, the most successful among them is memcached
(http://danga.com/memcached.)
26. Using memcached
• Download and install the memcached first!
<?php
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die (quot;Could not connectquot;);
$tmp_object = new stdClass;
$tmp_object->str_attr = 'test';
$tmp_object->int_attr = 12364;
$memcache->set('obj', $tmp_object, false, 60*5) or die (quot;Failed to
save data at the serverquot;);
?>
Restore the object....
<?php
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die (quot;Could not connectquot;);
$newobj = $memcache->get('obj');
?>
27. Summary
• In this presentation we learned how to use some
advanced OOP concepts in PHP. We learned how to
retrieve information from any object, and learned about
ArrayAccess, ArrayObject, Iterators, and some
other native objects which simplifies the life of a
developer. Another very important thing we learned is
Exception Handling.
In next presentation we will learn about design patterns
and how to use them in PHP.
Happy Learning .. @_@
