I am having a problem with inheritance and static properties. I am
writing a data record class object structure for Xoops.
Because the table name is dynamic, I have to set it as a static member
for each class. However I am having trouble finding a way to pass this
static member to the subclass.
for instance,
/************ SAMPLE RECORD CLASS ***************/
class Address_class extends Data_class {
const TABLE_NAME = 'address';
public static $x_table_name = '';
public ID = 0;
public function __construct($pI D){
$this->ID = $pID;
$this->get();
}
}
Address_class:: $x_table_name = OPS_DB_PREFIX . '_' .
Address_class:: TABLE_NAME;
/************** CORE DATA CLASS ***************/
abstract class Data_class {
function get(){
$result = $this->execute_SQL(sp rintf("SELECT * FROM %s WHERE ID =
%d LIMIT 1;", self::$x_table_ name, $this->ID));
{--- process result --}
}
}
/*************** *** END CODE *************** *****/
The problem is that becuase it is static and in the child class, the
value of self::$x_table_ name is undefined in the context of the parent
method get(); where because it is a normal property, I can pass ID just
fine.
Any thoughts 4 1572
Your approach is all wrong. You are defining the table name as a constant
and not putting anything in the static variable. You ought to try what I
have been doing for the past couple of years, which is to set the table name
within the constructor of the subclass, like this....
require_once 'std.table.clas s.inc';
class Person extends Default_Table {
function Person()
{
$this->tablename = 'person';
$this->dbname = 'sample';
} // Person
} // end class
Note that the variables $tablename and $dbname are defined in the superclass
and do not need to be redefined in each subclass.
Hope this helps.

That is of course a good and functional solution. I might be just
pushing things too far, but ideally, as the table name is constant for
every record, I'd like the efficiency of being able to store it once,
statically.
And beyond that, I'd like to know the answer to the principle behind
the question:
IS IT POSSIBLE for a parent method to access the static fields of a
child class?

Not reliably.
The child will always have and know about its parent. The parent never knows
about the child and may not have one.

aha - I got it!
FYI this class uses the XOOPS libraries to handle data management, so
the XOOPS_DB_PREFIX is a runtime constant. (which is why the table name
is stored in a static, not a const.)
Using this methodology, you don't keep a duplicate of the table name
with each instance of the record, and most of the data handling
mechanisms can be buried in the base Data_class class.
/******** CODE BEGINS *************** */
abstract class Data_class {
abstract function get_table_name( );
protected function &get_array()
{
global $Data_class_con n;
...
$sql = sprintf(self::S ELECT_SQL, $this->get_table_name (),
sprintf(self::W HERE_ID_SQL, $this->ID));
if (!$result) return Feedback::db_er ror($this, 'get_array',
"(object $this->obj_ID) Database error:");
$array =&
self::strip_sla sh_array($Data_ class_conn->fetchArray($re sult));
$Data_class_con n->freeRecordSet( $result);
return $array;
}
} // end Data_class
class Dir_class extends Data_class
{
public static $x_table_name = '';
/*********** TABLE NAME ACCESS
*************** *************** *******/
public function get_table_name( ){ return Dir_class::$x_t able_name; }
} // end Dir_class
Dir_class::$x_t able_name = XOOPS_DB_PREFIX . '_' .

Can you look over this code, preferably try it, and comment?
I believe the 'extend' function below will allow you to use full
'class inheritance' in javascript, but I would like to verify it.
The extend function allows the following:
1) inheriting from multiple classes,
2) inheriting an inherited classes inheritances (awkward to say),
3) inheriting appended prototype methods and properties of inhertited
classes.

Hello All,
Your comment is needed on following subject,i define the Class and
Inheritance as following,what do you think?
Class: Class is a set of objects which shares common states and
behaviors,Class can contain subclasses.
Inheritance: if two classes are having two common states and behaviors
or if a class is derived from another class it is called Inheritance,
All's comment is needed,is this defination ok or something more should
