Loading class

[MeTitus]

Hi guys,

 

Basically I have this in a xml document:

 

        <handler class="Registration" procedure="web_userLogin" />

 

the web_userLogin is a static method in Registration, the problem is that I don't know how to load the class.

I was having this as reference but I wasn't yet able to succeed.

 

[reference]

 

PHP 5 is very very flexible in accessing member variables and member functions. These access methods maybe look unusual and unnecessary at first glance; but they are very useful sometimes; specially when you work with SimpleXML classes and objects. I have posted a similar comment in SimpleXML function reference section, but this one is more comprehensive.

 

I use the following class as reference for all examples:

<?

class Foo {

    public $aMemberVar = 'aMemberVar Member Variable';

    public $aFuncName = 'aMemberFunc';

 

 

    function aMemberFunc() {

        print 'Inside `aMemberFunc()`';

    }

}

 

$foo = new Foo;

?>

 

You can access member variables in an object using another variable as name:

<?

$element = 'aMemberVar';

print $foo->$element; // prints "aMemberVar Member Variable"

?>

 

or use functions:

<?

function getVarName()

{ return 'aMemberVar'; }

 

print $foo->{getVarName()}; // prints "aMemberVar Member Variable"

?>

 

Important Note: You must surround function name with { and } or PHP would think you are calling a member function of object "foo".

 

you can use a constant or literal as well:

<?

define(MY_CONSTANT, 'aMemberVar');

print $foo->{MY_CONSTANT}; // Prints "aMemberVar Member Variable"

print $foo->{'aMemberVar'}; // Prints "aMemberVar Member Variable"

?>

 

You can use members of other objects as well:

<?

print $foo->{$otherObj->var};

print $foo->{$otherObj->func()};

?>

 

You can use mathods above to access member functions as well:

<?

print $foo->{'aMemberFunc'}(); // Prints "Inside `aMemberFunc()`"

print $foo->{$foo->aFuncName}(); // Prints "Inside `aMemberFunc()`"

Any help is more than welcome,

 

Thanks,

Being a Java guy I can't believe I didn't think I could do it with reflection:

 

$method = new ReflectionMethod('Foo', 'fooMethod');

 

Anyway thanks,
