  • Opinions sought on the best way to organise classes in PHP

    - by jax
    I am pretty much set on using the Java package naming convention of com.website.app.whatever but am unsure about the best way of doing this in PHP. Option 1: Create a directory structure com/ mysite/ myapp/ encryption/ PublicKeyGenerator.class.php Cipher.class.php Xml/ XmlHelper.class.php XmlResponse.class.php Now this is how Java does it, it uses the folders to organize the heirarchy. This is however a little clumsy in PHP because there is no native support for it and when you move things around you break all includes. Option 2 Name classes using a periods for the package, therefore sames are just like in Java but can all be in the same directory making __autoload a breeze. classes/ com.mysite.myapp.encription.PublicKeyGenerator.class.php com.mysite.myapp.encription.Cipher.class.php com.mysite.myapp.xml.XmlHelper.class.php com.mysite.myapp.xml.XmlResponse.class.php The only real disadvantage here is that all the classes are in a single folder which might be confusing for large projects. Opinions sought, which is the best or are there other even better options?

  • Given an instance of a Ruby object, how do I get its metaclass?

    - by Stanislaus Wernstrom
    Normally, I might get the metaclass for a particular instance of a Ruby object with something like this: class C def metaclass class << self; self; end end end # This is this instance's metaclass. C.new.metaclass => #<Class:#<C:0x01234567>> # Successive invocations will have different metaclasses, # since they're different instances. C.new.metaclass => #<Class:#<C:0x01233...>> C.new.metaclass => #<Class:#<C:0x01232...>> C.new.metaclass => #<Class:#<C:0x01231...>> Let's say I just want to know the metaclass of an arbitrary object instance obj of an arbitrary class, and I don't want to define a metaclass (or similar) method on the class of obj. Is there a way to do that?

  • My list item's child label elements disappear in IE on accordion menu opening

    - by Scott B
    I've got an app that's working pretty flawlessly in Chrome and FF, however, when I view it in IE, all is well until I click on a header element to activate it (jQuery accordion). What happens then is that I see a brief flash where the content is there, then suddenly the entire left column disappears. This column is generated by a floated label element with a class of ".left" as seen below... <ul class="menu collapsible"> <li class='expand sectionTitle'><a href='#'>General Settings</a> <ul class='acitem'> <li class="section"> <label class="left">This item if floated left with a defined width of 190px via css. This is the item that's disappearing after a brief display</label> <input class="input" value="input element here" /> <label class="description">This element has a margin-left:212px; set via css in order to be positioned to the right of the label element as if in an adjacent table cell. When I add a max-width property to this element, it disappears in IE too!</label> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> As you can see from the comments in the code above (for the two label elements) the description label disappears once I set a max-width on it (I don't have a max-width on the left label element, but it disappears nonetheless). The initial view of this UL menu is fine (note the expand class declaration which makes this part of the accordion open at startup. Its not until I click the "General Settings" to toggle it closed, then back open, that the left class elements disappear (and only in IE)

  • Does <T> need to be imported as a class for this to work?

    - by zxc
    In order for this to work, do you have to have an import statement for the T class? private static <T> void invertOrdering(List<T> list) { for (int i = 0; i < list.size() / 2; i++) { int j = list.size() - 1 - i; T item1 = list.get(i); T item2 = list.get(j); list.set(i, item2); list.set(j, item1); } }

  • Jquery counting elements by class what is the best way to implement this?

    - by 133794m3r
    Ok what i'm trying to do is to count all of the elements in the current page with the same class and then i'm going to use it to be added onto a name for a input form. Basically i'm allowing users to click on an and then by doing so add another one for more of the same type of items. But i can't think of a way to count all of these simply with jquery/javascript. I was going to then name the item as something like name="whatever(total+1)", if anyone has a simple way to do this i'd be extremely grateful as javascript isn't exactly my native tongue and stack overflow usually has a ton of great answers and a great community so i'm hoping my query will not go unheard.

  • How to get rid of library references problem? Java

    - by Nitesh Panchal
    Hello, I created a web application and it used several libraries once upon a time. So i added them but later on i found alternative and actually better ways to do the same things. So i removed references from my project for those jars and libraries. Everything works fine but when i move the same project to my friend's laptop Netbeans 6.8 simply doesn't let me deploy the project and gives the whole bundle of errors of libraries that i used previously but i don't now. I removed all references from build.impl file and then when i deploy it, it works fine. But when i do a clean and build and try to deploy it, build.impl automatically again adds those lines of xml which contain references to libraries an again gives me a whole long list of errors. How do i get rid of this? I am really tired of these silly errors. Thanks in advance :)

  • Database with 5 Tables with Insert and Select

    - by kirbby
    hi guys, my problem is that i have 5 tables and need inserts and selects. what i did is for every table a class and there i wrote the SQL Statements like this public class Contact private static String IDCont = "id_contact"; private static String NameCont = "name_contact"; private static String StreetCont = "street_contact"; private static String Street2Cont = "street2_contact"; private static String Street3Cont = "street3_contact"; private static String ZipCont = "zip_contact"; private static String CityCont = "city_contact"; private static String CountryCont = "country_contact"; private static String Iso2Cont = "iso2_contact"; private static String PhoneCont = "phone_contact"; private static String Phone2Cont = "phone2_contact"; private static String FaxCont = "fax_contact"; private static String MailCont = "mail_contact"; private static String Mail2Cont = "mail2_contact"; private static String InternetCont = "internet_contact"; private static String DrivemapCont = "drivemap_contact"; private static String PictureCont = "picture_contact"; private static String LatitudeCont = "latitude_contact"; private static String LongitudeCont = "longitude_contact"; public static final String TABLE_NAME = "contact"; public static final String SQL_CREATE = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " + TABLE_NAME + "(" + IDCont + "INTEGER not NULL," + NameCont + " TEXT not NULL," + StreetCont + " TEXT," + Street2Cont + " TEXT," + Street3Cont + " TEXT," + ZipCont + " TEXT," + CityCont + " TEXT," + CountryCont + " TEXT," + Iso2Cont + " TEXT," + PhoneCont + " TEXT," + Phone2Cont + " TEXT," + FaxCont + " TEXT," + MailCont + " TEXT," + Mail2Cont + " TEXT," + InternetCont + " TEXT," + //website of the contact DrivemapCont + " TEXT," + //a link to a drivemap to the contact PictureCont + " TEXT," + //a photo of the contact building (contact is not a person) LatitudeCont + " TEXT," + LongitudeCont + " TEXT," + "primary key(id_contact)" + "foreign key(iso2)"; and my insert looks like this public boolean SQL_INSERT_CONTACT(int IDContIns, String NameContIns, String StreetContIns, String Street2ContIns, String Street3ContIns, String ZipContIns, String CityContIns, String CountryContIns, String Iso2ContIns, String PhoneContIns, String Phone2ContIns, String FaxContIns, String MailContIns, String Mail2ContIns, String InternetContIns, String DrivemapContIns, String PictureContIns, String LatitudeContIns, String LongitudeContIns) { try{ db.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + "contact" + "(" + IDCont + ", " + NameCont + ", " + StreetCont + ", " + Street2Cont + ", " + Street3Cont + ", " + ZipCont + ", " + CityCont + ", " + CountryCont + ", " + Iso2Cont + ", " + PhoneCont + ", " + Phone2Cont + ", " + FaxCont + ", " + MailCont + ", " + Mail2Cont + ", " + InternetCont + ", " + DrivemapCont + ", " + PictureCont + ", " + LatitudeCont + ", " + LongitudeCont + ") " + "VALUES (" + IDContIns + ", " + NameContIns +", " + StreetContIns + ", " + Street2ContIns + ", " + Street3ContIns + ", " + ZipContIns + ", " + CityContIns + ", " + CountryContIns + ", " + Iso2ContIns + ", " + PhoneContIns + ", " + Phone2ContIns + ", " + FaxContIns + ", " + MailContIns + ", " + Mail2ContIns + ", " + InternetContIns + ", " + DrivemapContIns + ", " + PictureContIns + ", " + LatitudeContIns + ", " + LongitudeContIns +")"); return true; } catch (SQLException e) { return false; } } i have a DBAdapter class there i created the database public class DBAdapter { public static final String DB_NAME = "mol.db"; private static final int DB_VERSION = 1; private static final String TAG = "DBAdapter"; //to log private final Context context; private SQLiteDatabase db; public DBAdapter(Context context) { this.context = context; OpenHelper openHelper = new OpenHelper(this.context); this.db = openHelper.getWritableDatabase(); } public static class OpenHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper { public OpenHelper(Context context) { super(context, DB_NAME, null, DB_VERSION); } @Override public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub db.execSQL(Contact.SQL_CREATE); db.execSQL(Country.SQL_CREATE); db.execSQL(Picture.SQL_CREATE); db.execSQL(Product.SQL_CREATE); db.execSQL(Project.SQL_CREATE); } @Override public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Log.w(TAG, "Upgrading database from version " + oldVersion + " to " + newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data"); db.execSQL(Contact.SQL_DROP); db.execSQL(Country.SQL_DROP); db.execSQL(Picture.SQL_DROP); db.execSQL(Product.SQL_DROP); db.execSQL(Project.SQL_DROP); onCreate(db); } i found so many different things and tried them but i didn't get anything to work... i need to know how can i access the database in my activity and how i can get the insert to work and is there sth wrong in my code?

  • Anchors with overlapping divs

    - by tmdelane
    I am using a grid based layout, with two main sections. Graph and Timeline. Graph, contains graded vertical bars, HTML similar to: <div id="graph" class="container_160"> <div id="Jan-97" class="grid_1 major"><a href="#">&nbsp;</a></div> <div id="Feb-97" class="grid_1 minor"><a href="#">&nbsp;</a></div> <div id="Mar-97" class="grid_1 minor"><a href="#">&nbsp;</a></div> <div id="Apr-97" class="grid_1 minor"><a href="#">&nbsp;</a></div> <div id="May-97" class="grid_1 minor"><a href="#">&nbsp;</a></div> etc... </div> Timeline, contains horizontal bars, HTML similar to: <div id="timeline" class="container_160"> <div id="bar1" class="grid_32 suffix_128"><a href="#">&nbsp;</a></div> <div id="bar2" class="prefix_32 grid_24 suffix_104"><a href="#">&nbsp;</a></div> <div id="bar3" class="prefix_58 grid_7 suffix_95"><a href="#">&nbsp;</a></div> </div> Timeline is relatively positioned to Graph so that it overlaps. My problem is that when these divs overlap, the anchors in Timeline stop working. I am open to both CSS and Jquery solutions. Thanks in advance. t.

  • Does program need additional symbols from .so shared library except those declared in header file?

    - by solotim
    In C programming, I thought that a object file can be successfully linked with a .so file as long as the .so file offers all symbols which have been declared in the header file. Suppose I have foo.c, bar.h and two libraries libbar.so.1 and libbar.so.2. The implementation of libbar.so.1 and libbar.so.2 is totally different, but I think it's OK as long as they both offers functions declared in bar.h. I linked foo.o with libbar.so.1 and produced an executable: foo.bin. This executable worked when libbar.so.1 is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.(of course a symbolic link is made as libbar.so) However, when I change the symbolic link to libbar.so.2, foo.bin could not run and complainted this: undefined symbol: _ZSt4cerr I found this symbol type is 'B' and it does not appear in libbar.so.2. Obviously this symbol has nothing to do with those functions I decared in bar.h. What's wrong here?

  • Is it bad practice to assign a css class for the sole purpose of finding it with jQuery?

    - by user187305
    I'm using ASP.NET, not the newest one with that clientIdMode stuff. So, the control ids are generated and funky. There are lots of ways of passing ids around, but lately I've been assigning a 'fake' css class to the control I'm interested in. Then in a js file I use jQuery to find the control. Is this bad practice? It seems a lot like the ajaxControlToolkit's behaviorId to me... Is the behaviorId bad practice as well?

  • php extending but with a new constructor...possible?

    - by Patrick
    I have a class: class test { function __construct() { print 'hello'; } function func_one() { print 'world'; } } what I would like to do is a have a class that sort of extends the test class. I say 'sort of', because the class needs to be able to run whatever function the test class is able to run, but NOT run the construct unless I ask it to. I do not want to override the construct. Anyone has any idea how to achieve this?

  • static constants return instance of specific class in Flex?

    - by Sang
    So here's what I mean. Let's say I have a class ErrorMessages which holds all my error messages as static constants. So I could access them like ErrorMessages.PASSWORD_INVALID or ErrorMessage.PASSWORD_TOO_SHORT. I want to know if it is possible to have separate classes that hold subset of these constants and access them like ErrorMessages.PASSWORD.INVALID or ErrorMessages.PASSWORD.TOO_SHORT, etc. This way I can more structured static structure and makes it much easier to use autocomplete. I tried few different ways and couldn't figure out if this was possible..

  • Using new to allocate an array of class elements with an overloaded constructor in C++.

    - by GordoN
    As an example say I have a class foo that does not have a default constructor but one that looks like this foo:foo(int _varA,int _varB) { m_VarA = _varA; m_VarB = _varB; } How would I allocate an array of these. I seem to remember trying somthing like this unsuccessfully. foo* MyArray = new foo[100](25,14). I don't think this will work either. foo* MyArray = new foo[100](25,14) Can this be done? I typically do this by writing the default constructor using some preset values for _varA and _varB. Then adding a function to reset _varA and _varB for each element but that will not work for this case. Thanks for the help.

  • What are the drawbacks of this Classing format?

    - by Keysle
    This is a 3 layer example of my classing format function __(_){return _.constructor} //class var _ = ( CLASS = function(){ this.variable = 0; this.sub = new CLASS.SUBCLASS(); }).prototype; _.func = function(){ alert('lvl'+this.variable); this.sub.func(); } _.divePeak = function(){ alert('lvl'+this.variable); this.sub.variable += 5; } //sub class _ = ( __(_).SUBCLASS = function(){ this.variable = 1; this.sub = new CLASS.SUBCLASS.DEEPCLASS(); }).prototype; _.func = function(){ alert('lvl'+this.variable); this.sub.func(); } //deep class _ = ( __(_).DEEPCLASS = function(){ this.variable = 2; }).prototype; _.func = function(){ alert('lvl'+this.variable); } Before you blow a gasket, let me explain myself. The purpose behind the underscores is to accelerate the time needed to specify functions for a class and also specify sub classes of a class. To me it's easier to read. I KNOW, this does interfere with underscore.js if you intend to use it in your classes. I'm sure _.js can be easily switched over to another $ymbol though ... oh wait, But I digress. Why have classes within a class? because solar.system() and social.system() mean two totally different things but it's convenient to use the same name. Why user underscores to manage the definition of the class? because "Solar.System.prototype" took me about 2 seconds to type out and 2 typos to correct. It also keeps all function names for all classes in the same column of texts, which is nice for legibility. All I'm doing is presenting my reasoning behind this method and why I came up with it. I'm 3 days into learning OO JS and I am very willing to accept that I might have messed up.

  • check for a span class content and then update the quantity using jquery?

    - by PD24
    I have code code here: //Check current if (parseInt($("#Quantity").val()) < 25) { // If it is less than 25 then set it to 25 $("#Quantity").attr("value", "25"); } It checks if the quantity box has less than 25 and if it is, adds 25 to the box. The problem is on a particular product i need to check IF my pages contains: <span class="ProductNameText">This is product ABC</span> This is a work around because the customer only has 2 products which dont require 25 quantity. Ideally i would want to check if a page contained Kit Option form fields and then add 25 to the box. Any ideas on how to check for a span and then update the quantity. But the quantity shouldnt be forced, so if the user wants 6 items they should be able to add that figure.

  • Can I have two names for the same variable?

    - by Roman
    The short version of the question: I do: x = y. Then I change x, and y is unchanged. What I want is to "bind" x and y in such a way that I change y whenever I change x. The extended version (with some details): I wrote a class ("first" class) which generates objects of another class ("second" class). In more details, every object of the second class has a name as a unique identifier. I call a static method of the first class with a name of the object from the second class. The first class checks if such an object was already generated (if it is present in the static HashMap of the first class). If it is already there, it is returned. If it is not yet there, it is created, added to the HashMap and returned. And then I have the following problem. At some stage of my program, I take an object with a specific name from the HashMap of the first class. I do something with this object (for example change values of some fields). But the object in the HashMap does not see these changes! So, in fact, I do not "take" an object from the HashMap, I "create a copy" of this object and this is what I would like to avoid.

  • Java: refactoring static constants

    - by akf
    We are in the process of refactoring some code. There is a feature that we have developed in one project that we would like to now use in other projects. We are extracting the foundation of this feature and making it a full-fledged project which can then be imported by its current project and others. This effort has been relatively straight-forward but we have one headache. When the framework in question was originally developed, we chose to keep a variety of constant values defined as static fields in a single class. Over time this list of static members grew. The class is used in very many places in our code. In our current refactoring, we will be elevating some of the members of this class to our new framework, but leaving others in place. Our headache is in extracting the foundation members of this class to be used in our new project, and more specifically, how we should address those extracted members in our existing code. We know that we can have our existing Constants class subclass this new project's Constants class and it would inherit all of the parent's static members. This would allow us to effect the change without touching the code that uses these members to change the class name on the static reference. However, the tight coupling inherent in this choice doesn't feel right. before: public class ConstantsA { public static final String CONSTANT1 = "constant.1"; public static final String CONSTANT2 = "constant.2"; public static final String CONSTANT3 = "constant.3"; } after: public class ConstantsA extends ConstantsB { public static final String CONSTANT1 = "constant.1"; } public class ConstantsB { public static final String CONSTANT2 = "constant.2"; public static final String CONSTANT3 = "constant.3"; } In our existing code branch, all of the above would be accessible in this manner: ConstantsA.CONSTANT2 I would like to solicit arguments about whether this is 'acceptable' and/or what the best practices are.
