PHP4 -> PHP5 issue

Hi there

I'm quite experienced in programming in PHP4, but I would like to make
a step to PHP5.
I created following class which works perfectly in PHP4 :

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Class Nessi
  2. {
  3. // ident part
  4. var $user = ""; //the username
  5. var $password = ""; //the password
  6.  
  7. // invoice records
  8. var $invoices = array(); //list of invoice records
  9. var $i = -1; //invoice counter
  10.  
  11. // client records
  12. var $clients = array(); //list of client records
  13. var $j = -1; //client counter
  14.  
  15. var $XML = ""; // The XML file content
  16. function OpenFile($filename)
  17. {
  18. // leest de inhoud van een bestand naar een string
  19. $handle = fopen ($filename, "r");
  20. $contents = fread ($handle, filesize ($filename));
  21. fclose ($handle);
  22. $this->XML = $contents;
  23. $this->ParseXML();
  24. }
  25.  
  26. function ParseXML()
  27. {
  28. $doc = xmldoc($this->XML);
  29. $root = $doc->root();
  30. $children = $root->children();
  31.  
  32. foreach($children as $child)
  33. {
  34. if ($child->type == "1")
  35. {
  36. switch ($child->tagname)
  37. {
  38. case "ident":
  39. $this->Ident($child);
  40. break;
  41. case "invoice":
  42. $this->Invoice($child);
  43. break;
  44. case "client":
  45. $this->Client($child);
  46. break;
  47. default: ;
  48. } // switch
  49. }
  50. }
  51. unset($this->XML);
  52. }
  53.  
  54. function Ident($child)
  55. {
  56. $record = $child->children();
  57.  
  58. foreach($record as $item)
  59. {
  60. if ($item->type == "1")
  61. {
  62. if ($item->tagname == "user")
  63. {
  64. $content = $item->children();
  65. $this->user = $content[0]->content;
  66. }
  67. if ($item->tagname == "pass")
  68. {
  69. $content = $item->children();
  70. $this->password = $content[0]->content;
  71. }
  72. }
  73. }
  74. }
  75.  
  76. function Invoice($child)
  77. {
  78. $i = 0;
  79. $this->invoices[++$this->i] = array();
  80. $invoice = $child->children();
  81. foreach($invoice as $invitem)
  82. {
  83. switch ($invitem->tagname)
  84. {
  85. case "header":
  86. $header = $invitem->children();
  87. foreach($header as $headitem)
  88. {
  89. switch ($headitem->tagname)
  90. {
  91. case "clientid" :
  92. $text = $headitem->children();
  93. $this->invoices[$this->i]['clientid'] =
  94. $text[0]->content;
  95. break;
  96. case "clientinfo":
  97. $text = $headitem->children();
  98. $this->invoices[$this->i]['clientinfo']
  99. = $text[0]->content;
  100. break;
  101. case "date":
  102. $text = $headitem->children();
  103. $this->invoices[$this->i]['date'] =
  104. $text[0]->content;
  105. break;
  106. default: ;
  107. } // switch
  108. }
  109.  
  110. break;
  111. case "items":
  112. $items = $invitem->children();
  113. foreach($items as $item)
  114. {
  115. if ($item->type == "1")
  116. {
  117. if ($item->tagname == "item")
  118. {
  119. $content = $item->children();
  120. $newitem['desc'] =
  121. $content[0]->content;
  122. $newitem['price'] =
  123. $item->get_attribute("price");
  124.  
  125. $this->invoices[$this->i]['items'][$i++] = $newitem;
  126. unset($newitem);
  127. }
  128. }
  129. }
  130. break;
  131. default: ;
  132. } // switch
  133. }
  134. }
  135. function Client($child)
  136. {
  137. // not yet implemented...
  138. }
  139. }
  140.  
If I include this class into a script running in PHP5, I only get a
blank output. In fact, the execution seems to stop when including or
instantiating this class. I don't get any error message, even with
error_reporting(E_ALL).

What am I missing ?

I didn't really looked into your code but usually the biggest difference
between objects in php4 and php5 is that all the object variables are
passed by reference in php5 (and I think I've seen you use some of those :)

re: PHP4 -> PHP5 issue

Is there something in an errorlog (if that is turned on in php.ini)?

all errors are usually logged in a file as well... Nothing in there.

This is the script how I use the class :
=======
<pre>
<?php
require "nessi.class.php";
$xml = new Nessi;
$xml = loadfile(invoice.xml);
print_r($GLOBALS);
?>
</pre>
=======

The output of the script is :
<pre>


I really haven't got a clue ...

re: PHP4 -> PHP5 issue

Does the nessi class code start with <?php ? It may start with <? while
short tags are not configured in php.ini

To instantiate the class Nessi I think it should look like this:
$xml = new Nessi();
Quote:

></pre>

re: PHP4 -> PHP5 issue

I think this is a server configuration problem.

I usually use <?php ?>, but now I tried with <? ?>. Now the code is
just shown in the output in stead of parsed...

Thanks for all your efforts !

This generally means you have an error in the required file
(nessi.class.php).

Ensure you have all errors enabled and displayed, or check your error
log (often times the server error log) for errors.

I suspect you'll find an error in the class file.
