Re: HTML_Template_Flexy private vars in controller

I'll try to be more clear (my english is not very good). The goal is to hide internal stuff from outside (esp. designers) : private vars are impossible to output, phpdocumenter won't parse them, flexy will ignore them, etc. You ask me for an example : I've wrote this method in my parent class controller : function set_tags($object)//param $object is a data object { foreach(get_object_vars($this) as $tag_name => $default_value) { if (!is_array($this->$tag_name)) { $tag_value = $object->get($tag_name); if (!empty($tag_value)) { $this->$tag_name = $tag_value; } elseif (!empty($default_value)) { $this->$tag_name = $default_value;//value in declaration of var } } elseif (is_array($this->$tag_name) && method_exists($this,'set_' . $tag_name)) { //used for lists of other objects, $products in a category page e.g. $method = 'set_' . $tag_name;//name of the method that set the array of objects $this->$method($object->get('id')); } } } So, in sub-classes controller (in the constructor), I call $this->set_vars($_page_object) and all my declared vars are set automatically. The downside of this is that even $vars that are not intended to be output ($_template, $_modulename of sub-controller, etc.) are set by this method. Indeed, get_object_vars considers all vars, included private ones, useless parsing can then occurs. So if private vars are ignored by flexy, I save some parsing (?? I'm not sure, and I don't know performance effects). btw: {t:r} triggers a "Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given" Regards, Didier "Alan Knowles" <alan@akbkhome.com> a écrit dans le message de news: 3F02278E.5020402@akbkhome.com... > Didier Galland wrote: > > Is Flexy skipping private vars in the controller and doesn't output them ?
