Oh and by the way, whenever I'm creating the skeleton of a new class I will usually insert the following code snippet into the functions to let me know I have to come back and actually implement it later.
if ($class = __CLASS__) { trigger_error(__CLASS__ . '::' . __FUNCTION__ . ' is not finished.', E_USER_WARNING); } else { trigger_error(__FUNCTION__ . ' is not finished.', E_USER_WARNING); }
Why the assignment to $class?
Is that supposed to be == or is it just allowing for static class/method calls with no object instantiated?
The assignment was intentional... but the reason is that it's my generic trigger for any function / method. So that this can be used inside of incomplete functions as well as methods.
<?php
class test2 {
static function test3() {
if (__CLASS__) {
trigger_error(__CLASS__ . '::' . __FUNCTION__ . ' is not finished.', E_USER_WARNING);
} else {
trigger_error(__FUNCTION__ . ' is not finished.', E_USER_WARNING);
}
}
}
function test() {
if (__CLASS__) {
trigger_error(__CLASS__ . '::' . __FUNCTION__ . ' is not finished.', E_USER_WARNING);
} else {
trigger_error(__FUNCTION__ . ' is not finished.', E_USER_WARNING);
}
}
test(); $t2 = new test2(); $t2->test3(); test2::test3();
?>
And would not 'if (__CLASS__)' serve just as well?
Good point... no need to assign to the variable; __CLASS__ alone is more efficient.
