use pdo connection inside php function - class

I have a database class for pdo access to my db.
Inside the class I have a function :
public function isSenderIdinDB($id)
I do in my script:
$conn=new Database($credentials);
$id=something;
echo $conn->isSenderIdinDB($id);
works fine.
Now I'd like to use a function in my script, like this:
echo fn_isSenderIdinDB($id);
with:
function fn_isSenderIdinDB($id) {
return $conn->isSenderIdinDB($id);
}
But it doesn't work. I tried with a:
global $conn;
inside the fn_isSenderIdinDB function, as suggested elsewhere on SO, without success.
Any help appreciated, thanks
Nicolas

This sounds like a variable scope issue, you could try passing $conn as a parameter to your function like this.
function fn_isSenderIdinDB(&$connObj, $id) {
return $connObj->isSenderIdinDB($id);
}
And then call your function like that :
echo fn_isSenderIdinDB($conn, $id);
Perhaps it would help if we could see the whole script or the errors your are getting.

Powershell cannot pass object to function

I am unable to pass an object of type [System.Messaging.Message] into a function within my script.
e.g. (outline of code)
function global:CopyQueue() {
$vTotalCountInMSMQ = $global:qSource.GetAllMessages()
foreach ($msg in $vTotalCountInMSMQ)
{
ReadAndCopyMessage $destinationQueue ([REF]$msg)
}
}
Target Function:
function global:ReadAndCopyMessage($destinationQueueName, [REF]$message)
{
$message = $message.BodyStream.Position
.etc.....
}
Unable to access properties (Property 'Position' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable.). However, if this code is run within the CopyQueue function, everything works as expected.
I am having trouble to outsource this and process the $msg object out of the loop.
Thanks for your help in advance
similiar questions didn't work:
PowerShell pass by reference not working for me
Powershell argument passing to function seemingly not working
It appears that you shouldn't use [REF] anymore. Also, I must have made the common "," error between parameters before and thus it didn't work.
The code above works fine without [REF]
Call:
ReadAndCopyMessage $destinationQueue $msg
Function:
function global:ReadAndCopyMessage($destinationQueueName, $message)

Function argument with jQuery selector

Folks, this works correctly for me to hide any element where the class name starts with "o"
function hider() {$("*[class^=o]").hide();}
Now I'd like to be able to pass that "o" string in as the function's argument, and I have trouble with the syntax. Any help is appreciated.
It seems that something like this will work:
function hider(startsWith) {
$("*[class^="+startsWith+"]").hide();
}
try it in this fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/JECUL/
function hider(className) {$("*[class^="+className+"]").hide();}
Call like so
hider("o");

zend loading models using eval in helpers

i want to load models from helpers... im using eval to insert the modelname etc.
public function getMod($mName) {
// this works but need a dynamic one
$model = $this->users = new Application_Model_Users();
// so i did this:
$model = $this->_listsMod = eval ("new Application_Model_$mName();");
return $model;
and you can call it by: $this->_helper->getmod->getMod('Users')->myuserFunc();
but it doesnt work, its says Fatal error: Call to a member function myuserFunc() on a non-object
Updated answer:
Have you tried:
$modelName = 'Application_Model_'.$mName;
$model = $this->_lists = new $modelName ;
?
You should have a look at the Factory Pattern (which is effectively what you're doing here) eg here and here.
As you probably know, its best to avoid using eval if possible. Also, it seems a bit odd needing to load Models like this - can you tell us why you need to load them like this?
Note: I've updated this answer following comments below, to make it quicker for future readers of the question / answer.

How to use Zend Framework's Partial Loop with Objects

I am quite confused how to use partialLoop
Currently I use
foreach ($childrenTodos as $childTodo) {
echo $this->partial('todos/_row.phtml', array('todo' => $childTodo));
}
$childrenTodos is a Doctrine\ORM\PersistantCollection, $childTodo is a Application\Models\Todo
I tried doing
echo $this->partialLoop('todos/_row.phtml', $childrenTodos)
->setObjectKey('Application\Models\Todo');
But in the partial when I try to access properties/functions of my Todo class, I cant seem to get them always ending up with either call to undefined method Zend_View::myFunction() when I use $this->myFunction() in the partial or if I try $this->todo->getName() I get "Call to a member function getName() on a non-object". How do I use partialLoops?
Try this
echo $this->partialLoop('todos/_row.phtml', $childrenTodos)
->setObjectKey('object');
Then in your partial you can access the object like this
$this->object
object is the name of the variable that an object will be assigned to
You can also do this once in your Bootstrap or other initialization class if you have access to the view object like so
protected function initPartialLoopObject()
{
$this->_view->partialLoop()->setObjectKey('object');
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($this->_view);
}
I also had "Call to function on non object" error when trying suggested syntax, seems like they've changed something on later versions of Zend Framework. The following works for me on ZF1.12:
echo $this->partialLoop()
->setObjectKey('object')
->partialLoop('todos/_row.phtml', $childrenTodos);

Wordpress: Accessing A Plugin's Function From A Theme

I'm trying to add some functionality from a plugin I have made into a Wordpress theme but I am having little joy. The documentation doesn't really help me solve the problem so perhaps someone here can help.
I have a plugin in Wordpress that is activated and working fine. The class for this plugin has a function called generateHtml which I would like to access from a Wordpress Theme. But whatever I try, I cannot seem to access my plugin's code.
Can either give me a summary of what I need to do to get a theme accessing code from a plugin and/or point out there I am going wrong in my code:
Plugin:
<?php
/** Usual comments here **/
if (!class_exists("ImageRotator")) {
class ImageRotator {
private $uploadPath = '';
private $pluginPath = '';
private $options;
function __construct() {
$this->uploadPath = dirname(__file__).'\\uploads\\';
// add_shortcode('imagerotator', array(&$this, 'generateHtml'));
}
// Various functions for plugin
function generateHtml() {
echo '<p>Hello World</p>';
}
}
}
/**
* Create instance of image rotator
*/
$imageRotator = new ImageRotator();
/**
* Create actions & filters for Wordpress
*/
if (isset($imageRotator)) {
// Actions
add_action('admin_menu', array(&$imageRotator, 'createMenu'));
add_action('admin_init', array(&$imageRotator, 'registerSettings'));
add_action('imagerotator_show', array(&$imageRotator, 'generateHtml'));
}
Portion from theme header page:
<?php if (isset($imageRotator)) {
$imageRotator->generateHtml();
} else if (isset($ImageRotator)) {
print_r($ImageRotator);
} else {
echo '<p>Nope!</p>';
}
if (function_exists("imagerotator_show")) {
echo 'Function found';
} else {
echo 'Function NOT found';
}
?>
Currently all I ever see is "Nope" and "Function NOT found". Thanks for any input.
Lee,
For starters, "imagerotator_show" is not a function; it's the name of a type of action. When you use the add_action() function, Wordpress just adds your method to the list of functions/methods to call when a particular action is triggered. Thus your second test will always respond with 'Function NOT found'.
The most likely cause of the first problem is failing to declare the method you want to call as a public method. You're also making the code harder than it needs to be.
The best practice I've seen for declaring methods and registering hooks from a class looks something like this:
if ( ! class_exists( 'Foo' ) ):
class Foo {
function __construct() {
add_action( 'hook_name', array( &$this, 'my_hook_implementation' ) );
}
function my_hook_implementation() {
// does something
}
public function my_special_method() {
// does something else
}
}
if ( class_exists( 'Foo' ) ):
$MyFoo = new Foo();
This allows your class to keep all of its implementation details private. When you need to call my_special_method(), you do it as follows:
$MyFoo->my_special_method();
#andrew since I can't comment I thought I would answer your ancillary question. See:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress/create-wordpress-plugins-with-oop-techniques/
Where it is explained that when defining a callback function from an object you have to use the array function. It's basically saying get the function 'my_hook_implementation' from the object $this and use it as the callback parameter to the add action hook. It is because you defined the function within the scope of the object and you have to define the scope in order for PHP to know what function you are talking about. The scope being the object referred to by the variable $this.
You just need to use do_action() function, inside your theme.
If you want the function generateHtml to appears inside your header.php you just need to open the header.php file and paste <?php do_action('imagerotator_show'); ?> where you want and then your function will be called there.
