Re: Re: DataObjects - staticGet not working as expected

Hi Alan, I've added this code to my PA_Contacts class, which extends DataObjects: function &singleton($contact_id=null) {

       // Declare a static variable to hold the object instance
       static $instance;
         // If the instance is not there, create one
       if (!isset($instance)) {
           echo 'creating instance';
           $instance = new PA_Contacts;
           if ($contact_id) {
               $instance->get($contact_id);
           }
       } else {
           echo 'the object for this record exists, returning it';
       }
       return($instance);

} Actually this code will work better I think:

function &singleton($contact_id=null) {

       // Declare a static variable to hold the object instance
       static $instances = array();
         // If the instance is not there, create one
       if (!isset($instances[$contact_id])) {
           echo 'creating instance <br><br>';
           $instances[$contact_id] = new PA_Contacts;
           if ($contact_id) {
               $instances[$contact_id]->get($contact_id);
           }
           $instances[$contact_id]->loadQuickForm();
       } else {
           echo 'the object for this record exists, returning it';
       }
       return($instances[$contact_id]);

}
