note 85267 added to language.oop5.static

Thanks to all of you, this is my little contribution, i hope it give you ideas: The next script uses a class Logs to store and show the logs. You can show the last logs of your scripts. You can: - push ("a new log") - show () // the last logs until the las call to show() - showAll() // to show all the logs and - message("a forced message") // which sends a message to the log output with out storing the message (you may imagine other solutions) <?php class Logs{ // this makes this thing to be hidden from outside calls [private] private static $logs=array("start"); private static $index=0; // this is available for outside calls [public] public static function getLogsCount(){ // the constant "self" refers to the class, instead $this wich // refers to an instance of a class (this class is not instanced, // its running itself, so lets use "self" and "::" to access the // "static" functions and properties. $count=count(self::$logs); return $count; } public static function show(){ //echo ("# Logs::show ".self::getLogsCount()); $count=self::getLogsCount(); // start the show since the last log shown ($index) for ($i=self::$index; $i<$count;$i++){ $log=self::$logs[$i]; self::message($log); } // update the las log shown index self::$index=$i; } public static function showAll(){ //echo ("# Logs::show ".self::getLogsCount()); // show the logs from cero to last // im starting with php so I use for (...) because its my // way in AS3.0 but you better keep checking that $count=self::getLogsCount(); for ($i=0; $i<$count;$i++){ $log=self::$logs[$i]; self::message($log); } } // Yup! a new log! public static function push($msg){ //self::message("# Logs::push "); array_push(self::$logs, $msg); } // Send a message to the html output. // Now, a little words about this one, you may want to use an // special button on your html or somewhere else to show or hide the // logs, because you are in development and want to keep this thing // little hidden of your clients. Probably may generate a java script // variable so instead of [echo "<p>...</p>";] is ok to // use [echo "<script>logs+=$msg</script>"] // I dont know, figure it out. public function message($msg){ echo "<p>- Logs &gt; $msg </p>"; } } // Ready to use. // to call a function in an static class, refer to the function as // TheClass::theFunction // remember, php uses :: (sorry, I still learning why because I come from the AS3 world) Logs::push("log1"); Logs::show(); Logs::push("log2"); Logs::show(); Logs::push("log3"); Logs::showAll(); ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 189.137.48.213 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85267 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85267/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85267/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85267/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85267/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85267/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85267/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85267 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85267 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
