Hi guys..
well I have a little "problem", I succeeded on retrieving a value by
it's key, but I want a clean and faster method... Let me explain:
I have the following function which I use to set variables in my
framework like (configs, requests, etc)...
/***********************************************************************
* @function_name set_vars
* @function_type Method
* @function_input None
* @function_description None
***********************************************************************/
function set_var($key = '', $value = null)
{
if(is_array($key))
{
if(count($key))
{
foreach($key as $key_key => $key_value)
{
$this->vars[$key_key] = $key_value;
}
}
}
elseif(is_array($value))
{
if(count($value))
{
foreach($value as $value_key => $value_value)
{
$this->vars[$key][$value_key] = $value_value;
}
}
}
else
{
$this->vars[$key] = $value;
}
}
For example I have:
$this->vars['config']['database_type'] = 'mysql'; or...
$this->vars['http']['get'] = 'b';
But now I want a function that gets those values and subvalues, but
there is one small catch, I need to dynamically get parsed arguments
and check if key exists and returns it... I tried func_num_args, and
func_get_args, without success.
I don't really have a clue as to what you want to do - but I took a guess.
maybe the following is along the lines of what you are looking to do?
the idea is that if you had a VarCollection object with the following:
$obj->vars['a']['b']['c']['d']['e'] = 'ABCDE';
you could output the value 'ABCDE' by doing this:
echo $obj->get_var('a','b','c','d','e');
the example below is not tested (mostly because I don't know
what I should have tested exactly but also because I have sloth
tendencies ;-)
class VarCollection
{
var $vars;
function VarCollection()
{
$this->vars = array();
}
function set_var($key = '', $value = null) { /* bla */ }
function get_var()
{
$args = func_get_args();
if (empty($args)) {
return null;
}
$varRef =& $this->vars;
while ($arg = array_shift($args)) {
if (!isset($varRef[ $arg ])) {
return null;
} else {
$varRef =& $varRef[ $arg ];
}
}
return ($xyz = $varRef); // xyz because I'm paranoid about references
}
}
Any ideas?
once, it involved Britney Spears, a 7.5 ton truck and 1000
gallons of ... oh wait you meant something else.
