Working with extended classes in PHP

Question by epic_syntax

epic_syntaxepic_syntax

I have 2 classes looking like this:

class db {

    protected $db;

    function __construct() {
        $this->connect();
    }

    protected function connect() {
        $this->db = new MySQLi(db_host, db_user, db_pass, db_name) or die($this->db->error);
        $this->db->set_charset('utf8');
    }

}

and

class sample extends db {

    protected $js_base_dir;

    public function __construct($js_base_dir = js_dir) {
        $this->js_base_dir = $js_base_dir . "/";
    }
 ....

I want to use $this->db inside second class, but __construct in sample class overrides first classes construct function. How to get $this-> db inside second class? Am I doung something wrong? if yes what’s proper way?

You can call parent class method, using parrent::methodName(). Similarly, you can use this to invoke parent’s constructor method as well as

parent::__construct();

Usage:

public function __construct($js_base_dir = js_dir) {
    parent::_construct();
    $this->js_base_dir = $js_base_dir . "/";
}

Apart from the manual read this article for extended explanation.

Folder with Get value

Could someone with more experience than me explain how it works the link (for example):

http://www.facebook.com/zuck

I think it’s the same thing of this

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=4

I imagine that “zuck” is a GET type string but I don’t understand how I can do the same thing.

Thank You very much

.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /profile.php?id=$1 [L]

Actually, i am not sure about it, but by the way I see it, facebook probably uses both ways to get to a profile

I quick .htaccess to make sure all the request arrive on same page.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /profile.php?input=$1 [L]

Now, in the profile.php, it should do a simple check like

$input = $_GET['input'];

if(is_string($input)) {
 // then retrieve profile id, based on the string
}
//now either way you have an unique identifier at last
//
//
// use your logic further more

When uploading, where do I set the php.ini parameters?

Question by gAMBOOKa

gAMBOOKagAMBOOKa

In the script where the upload form is, or the script that processes the action?

Example parameters:

memory_limit

EDIT: Ok, let me clarify. First, I didn’t know the 2nd, 3rd and 4th parameter could not be changed using ini_set(). Now, I want to know where exactly I should call the ini_set() function. In the form script or the action handling script?

Here’s an example to illustrate what I’m looking for:

form.php

<form action="post.php">
  <input type="text" name="search" />
  <input type="submit" />
</form>

post.php

<?php //handle search ?>

So under which file must my ini_set() function should go?

Answer by Starx

You have to set these parameters initially from php.ini. You cannot change this from a PHP script except memory_limit, for the remaining Just search for those keys you mentioned in php.ini and change their values.

For memory_limit you can use following snippet at your processing page handling the uploads like in your case at post.php

ini_set("memory_limit","16M");

OR

You can create a .htaccess file at the root directory, if your server support mod_rewrite modules you can change them like this

php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200
...

Please fill the form - I will response as fast as I can!
