Re: [PHP] design?
On 6/30/06, Sjef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks, John, I'm not sure I completely get the idea of a pair class. As an question and answer are in the same database tabel I now created a questionDepot class that gets the array from the db, does save and update operations, and for example, sets a flag in the db tabel when a question is accepted for the list. Hi Sjef, It sounds as if you've got the idea, even if I didn't explain myself well. My point was to *not* create a Question class that maintained an array of questions, which was only _implicitly_ related to a similarly-structured but disparate Answers class. An array of questions sitting beside an array of answers is, in my opinion, not a proper abstraction of the objects you're dealing with. Perhaps it is out of experience that I'm harping on this point, because I've been burned by a similar design before. One of my first OO projects was a weblog, and I had built a Post class, and then for posts with galleries, a separate Gallery class that contained *only* image information for it's parent Post. On it's own, this wasn't all bad, but the big mistake I made was how I handled multiple posts and multiple galleries (like for building out the homepage where I showed 5 recent posts and a thumbnail from each, if they were galleries). Within each Post and Gallery class, I turned the properties into _arrays_. So what originally was a string for the post's title, now became an array of strings for many posts. Likewise for the Gallery class. Arrays of thumbnails became arrays of arrays of thumbnails. I'm sure The List will shudder at this design, but hey, I've learned my lesson. Be-lieve-me. Anyway, the point is, your initial approach was the same (if I read it correctly). You suggested an array of questions, and an array of answers, which would only be implicitly related. Your design started with the concept of many questions, and many answers, but my argument is that, abstractly, you should begin with one question, and one answer. Then think in terms of a question-answer pair that *belong to each other*. And then think of many question-answer pairs. Anyway, I'm sure that by the time you've finished reading this hair-splitting rambling, you've already finished your app and moved on to something else entirely. :) -John W -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What's wrong with this being a global variable?
In your common or global or whatever you call it file:
$db = &new Db();
$db->Connect('');
$GLOBALS['Database'] = &$db;
then you use $GLOBALS['Database']->...
This file is *always* called before your other classes so it's always
set. It can't be overridden or anything, so I don't understand the
objection to it being a global variable.
Another option, inside your main class (you're using inheritance right?)
var $Db = null;
function GetDb() {
if (!is_null($this->Db) && is_resource($this->Db->Connection)) {
return $this->Db;
}
$db = & new Db();
$db->Connect(...);
$this->Db = &$db;
}
then use
$db = $this->GetDb();
inside your class.

I have a table where I want to update each record with today's date as

I'm trying to do this with a minimum of hits to the db, so rather than
first searching to see if a matching record is in there, I thought I'd
just go ahead and update the matching record, check to see if it failed,
and if it failed then add a new one, like this:
$id = $_GET['id'];
// Update
$query = "update table set last_hit=NOW() where id='$id'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
// Add
if(the update failed) {
$query = "insert into table (id,creation_date,last_hit) values
('$id',NOW(),NOW())";
$result = mysql_query($query);
}
What's the fastest way to check if the update failed?
You have a few options as others have pointed out, but I'll post this as
an option anyway.
Other db's don't have replace into or the "on duplicate key" option
either, so you'd need to do something like this:
$query = "update ..";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (mysql_affected_rows($result) == 0) {
// do the insert.

[PHP] Problems installing 5.1.4
I'm trying to get v5.1.4 installed on my server and running into something of a mystery. I can configure and run make with no problem.

Chris thanks for the response. I got this working and solved a couple other

You do not need Perl for this. The MIME message parser mentioned above
can perfectly process a message read from the command input. You just
need to specify php://stdin as the file name.
However, I do not recommend reading messages from the standard input
unless you do not have an alternative. There are several problems:
- You can only read the message once. You cannot process the message in
multiple passes. If your script fails for some temporary fault, the
message is lost and the sender gets a permanent bounce.
- AFAIK reading the message from the command line input is specific of
Unix/Linux systems. A POP3 based solution works regardless of the OS you
are running as long as you have POP3 mailbox associated to the e-mail
address.
- Usually you need to have shell access to configure what script will
run to processe the message. Many PHP shared hosting companies do not
provide shell access.
