Mmm. I hoped this would help, but all it seems to have done was cascade
errors across the rest of Tag's object children. :(
to be expected, but did it fix the problem w/ SelectBoxOption?
I'm not sure, but I don't think so; the original symptom was "Object of
class SelectBoxOption could not be converted to string" - the original
code didn't include a toString() method in SelectBoxOption, and since
the code works on an older PHP, it must be using the parent object's
toString(). (Which some children of Tag do explicitly, but
SelectBoxOption doesn't for whatever reason.)
In trying to add the toString() method, I found that the calls used by
other tags to retrieve the HTML tag name, value, etc weren't working.
So I looked up at the constructor to see if the pieces passed in were
getting passed and stored correctly - and quite obviously they're not
($name mutates into what looks like an array with a string at [0] and
something closely resembling what the whole object instance *should* be
at [1], and $value just seems to disappear).
Putting aside actually fixing the constructor correctly, after a bit of
poking I found that $this->tagContent->..... works to retrieve the data
and actually output the <option> tag correctly.
var_dump tells me that the real data is actually in there... it's
"just" not instantiated correctly. $name apparently arrives at the
constructor for SelectOptionBox like this:
string(8) "Abegweit"
object(SelectBoxOption)#65 (5) {
["attributes"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
object(TagAttribute)#66 (3) {
["name"]=>
string(5) "value"
["value"]=>
string(1) "4"
["hasValue"]=>
bool(true)
}
}
["tagContent"]=>
string(8) "Abegweit"
["tag"]=>
string(6) "option"
["showEndTag"]=>
bool(false)
["children"]=>
array(0) {
}
}
I'll try converting all of the constructors to your recommendation as
above, but given that the problem is only happening with this one class, I'm
not sure that will do much.
hopefully that clears it up ..
Well, I ran out of "Call to undefined ParentClass::parentclass in
path/to/file/for/subclass.php" errors (at least on the page I'm testing
with).... but $name is still going in on the calling side as a string,
and coming out as a funky array.
and hopefully you're using version control :D
Bah! Real man never make mistaaake!
... ooops. <g>
