Could this be considered a well-written PHP5 class?
- by Ben Dauphinee
I have been learning OOP principals on my own for a while, and taken a few cracks at writing classes. What I really need to know now is if I am actually using what I have learned correctly, or if I could improve as far as OOP is concerned.
I have chopped a massive portion of code out of a class that I have been working on for a while now, and pasted it here.
To all you skilled and knowledgeable programmers here I ask: Am I doing it wrong?
class acl extends genericAPI{
// -- Copied from genericAPI class
protected final function sanityCheck($what, $check, $vars){
switch($check){
case 'set':
if(isset($vars[$what])){return(1);}else{return(0);}
break;
}
}
// ---------------------------------
protected $db = null;
protected $dataQuery = null;
public function __construct(Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract $db, $config = array()){
$this->db = $db;
if(!empty($config)){$this->config = $config;}
}
protected function _buildQuery($selectType = null, $vars = array()){
// Removed switches for simplicity sake
$this->dataQuery = $this->db->select(
)->from(
$this->config['table_users'],
array('tf' => '(CASE WHEN count(*) > 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)')
)->where(
$this->config['uidcol'] . ' = ?',
$vars['uid']
);
}
protected function _sanityRun_acl($sanitycheck, &$vars){
switch($sanitycheck){
case 'uid_set':
if(!$this->sanityCheck('uid', 'set', $vars)){
throw new Exception(ERR_ACL_NOUID);
}
$vars['uid'] = settype($vars['uid'], 'integer');
break;
}
}
private function user($action = null, $vars = array()){
switch($action){
case 'exists':
$this->_sanityRun_acl('uid_set', $vars);
$this->_buildQuery('user_exists_idcheck', $vars);
return($this->db->fetchOne($this->dataQuery->__toString()));
break;
}
}
public function user_exists($uid){
return($this->user('exists', array('uid' => $uid)));
}
}
$return = $acl_test->user_exists(1);
