Hello,
I have been working for some time now on a PHP OOP database abstraction
layer. Yes I know there are others out there which are maturing but I like
reinventing this wheel.
The task I have at hand is that I want to specify 'has a' and 'has many'
relationships in an array for each class and use these to automagically
create the accessor methods and perhaps mutator methods as well.
Can anyone point me to a good reference on creating class methods on the fly
in PHP?
I have spent the afternoon studying how Perl's lovely Class::DBI handles
this but I can't get my head around how I would create these methods based
on my array values in PHP.
Any pointers and links greatly appreciated!

It's called eval().

Don't we all. I'm about to write my 2nd or 3rd database abstraction
layer.

Well if you are using PHP5 than you have lots of options available.
Thankfully my project is in PHP5 and get to use those options. If
you're using PHP4 than your only option is to use eval().

The only problem with using eval() is that you cannot add methods to a
class this way. You can, however, build entire classes with eval()
which might be the way to go.

You might be happier doing all this in Perl instead...
Matt,
Isn't that always true?

Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner!! This is totally what I should do,
extend the child class to include the new methods!!
Thank you!

If you're using PHP5 you could use: http://www.php.net/manual/en/languag...verloading.php
... which can act quite similarly to Perl's AUTOLOAD method to pretend to be
dynamically created methods.

When I look at how classes are set up in other languages (e.g. C++), I
often observe the following patterns:
1) for each data member, the class will have an accessor member
function (a Get<whatever> function)
2) for each data member, the class will have a mutator member function
(a Set<whatver> function)
3) data members are never referenced directly; they are always
referenced with the accessor and mutator functions
My questions are:

A lot has been said in this newsgroup regarding the "evil" set/get
accessor methods. Arthur Riel, (of Vanguard Training), in his class,
"Heuristis for O-O Analysis & Design", says that there is almost never
an excuse for accessor methods. Personally, I do not go that far. I
do feel that they serve a useful purpose (albeit in a limited manner).
Personally I prefer dropping the "set" and "get" prefixes from the
method names altogether. ...

Maybe I have a brain blockage today but I'm thinking, why not just make
those variables public.
After all, someone can do just as great harm by misusing a set { }
accessor method as just doing myObj.lastname = "Big Bird"; which he
could do in a second class, if the variable is public on the first class.
IOTW, what does keeping with the protected /...

I have been programming using C# for over a year now and I still wonder
what is the importance of using accessor methods when the property is
read-write. It seems easier to just make it a public property of the
class, but I have read in more than one book that this is a bad
practice. The books did not mention the reason why this is a bad
practice. Can anybody give me some insight on this?
