[creating objects within objects..]

object oriented

Kind of answers the question for you..

[PHP communicating with JAVA server]

Use a RESTful protocol of your own design. Much quicker than the highly bloated SOAP protocol.

 

Failing that, ditch the PHP code for Java, or vice versa.

[Call to a member function on a non-object]

Too vague a problem to fully assist, but you are calling a function on something that is not an object.

[[SOLVED] Variables in a string inputted into Class Method]

I would strongly reconsider your design implementation. You should not know what properties are within an object if they are not public.

[Get effective class name from a static method]

static methods are not bound by inheritance. What you are doing is calling a method as if it were a function, i.e. not in a class at all. A class to a static method is nothing more than a namespace.

[Building an efficient PHP framework/modular structure - how??]

"Modular" just means that every class/object is concise and only encapsulates one type of behaviour, so that this maximises reusability. If you have an object that is too specific in the way it must be used, you'll be very restricted.

[Command & Front Controller]

If you have a large application, with many different features, there is. Otherwise it can generally be considered superfluous to use both.

[an obscure way of building a site?]

you are loading alot of unnecessary data whenever someone goes to the page.

 

the only way I can see that this would benefit you, is if your page is controlled with AJAX

 

Otherwise, I would put everything in their own modules and include them, that way you only display what you need when you need it.

AJAX has absolutely nothing to do with this topic.

[A question about the Registry Pattern]

No, Dependency Injection is much, much more than Type Hinting.

[Generic Theming]

Try reading it first.

[Generic Theming]

Why not use DOM? php.net/dom

[A question about the Registry Pattern]

i am, that's my point, no need for a registry pattern.

So what happens if you need to change your database class? Oops! You've got lots of finding/replacing to do!

 

and on platforms that are stateful (i.e. not PHP) the registry is also much more usefull than a singleton, because it can be maintained within the session, and as it's nature is to maintain single instances of objects, it allows you to create instances unique to each session, but maintain the same "singleton" effect.

[Singleton abstract DB class, with mysql, etc extends...]

But nobody is using 5.0, so it's not a problem!

If only that were true.

[How many SESSIONs is too many?]

Depends on your structure of session storage.

[How many SESSIONs is too many?]

If these settings aren't user specific there is no point storing them in the $_SESSION array. Sessions are specifically designed to store data relating to a particular user.

Almost, they are specific to the currently active session. Users change within the same session.

[What IS the best way to link classes?]

I decided to be more verbose.

[Overloading Constructor]

class B extends A {
  public function A () {
    // leave this blank to stop parent constructor executing if it's a php4 syntax class
  }
  public function __construct () {
    //this is your new constructor
  }
}

[What IS the best way to link classes?]

Singletons are restrictive, and can (but don't neccessarily do) lead to problems later in application life. Just be more disciplined and only instantiate the object once if you want to maintain only once instance.

 

As for the variable/object name argument (which has already been addressed I see,) you are mistaken. An example:

 

<?php

$foo = new db();

function foobar ($bar) {
  $bar->connect();
}

foobar($foo);
?>

[Alternative to MVC]

You either use MVC, or you don't. You don't have to use anything. MVC is a design pattern, a guide for a commonly occuring situation or scenario. If you are setting out to design an application with MVC, you have already caused yourself problems as you do not yet know if MVC is right for your situation.

[[PHP5] OOP Problems]

use

$this->forms

, not

$forms

[[SOLVED] MVC Neccesary?]

Your application may have a Model component, a View component and a Controller component, but is not a "ModelViewController"

[[SOLVED] MVC Neccesary?]

No, you build an application that satisfies the pattern, should the pattern be applicable to your needs. You do not build a pattern.

[[SOLVED] why does empty() not work on object ?]

You still didn't read the first reply properly.

 

empty($var) will return true if either $var is undefined, or contains the value of null, 0, "" (empty string) or an empty array.

 

I suggest you read that line very carefully, then read it again carefully, and once more for luck, before replying again.
