Interfaces

ActionInterface
Interface for all action classes.

Properties

$memID  : int
$standalone  : bool
$obj  : object
$backcompat  : array<string|int, mixed>

Methods

call()  : void
Convenience method to load() and execute() an instance of this class.
execute()  : void
Do the job.
exportStatic()  : void
Provides a way to export a class's public static properties and methods to global namespace.
list_getIPMessageCount()  : int
Gets the number of posts made from a particular IP
list_getIPMessages()  : array<string|int, mixed>
Gets all the posts made from a particular IP
load()  : object
Static wrapper for constructor.
trackIP()  : void
Backward compatibility wrapper.
__construct()  : mixed
Constructor. Protected to force instantiation via self::load().

Properties

$memID

public int $memID

ID of the member to track.

$standalone

public bool $standalone

True if this was called via ?action=trackip. False if this was called via ?action=profile;area=tracking;sa=ip.

$obj

protected static object $obj

An instance of this class. This is used by the load() method to prevent mulitple instantiations.

$backcompat

private static array<string|int, mixed> $backcompat = ['func_names' => ['list_getIPMessages' => 'list_getIPMessages', 'list_getIPMessageCount' => 'list_getIPMessageCount', 'trackIP' => 'TrackIP']]

BackwardCompatibility settings for this class.

Methods

call()

Convenience method to load() and execute() an instance of this class.

public static call() : void

execute()

Do the job.

public execute() : void

exportStatic()

Provides a way to export a class's public static properties and methods to global namespace.

public static exportStatic() : void

To do so:

  1. Use this trait in the class.
  2. At the END of the class's file, call its exportStatic() method.

Although it might not seem that way at first glance, this approach conforms to section 2.3 of PSR 1, since executing this method is simply a dynamic means of declaring functions when the file is included; it has no other side effects.

Regarding the $backcompat items:

A class's static properties are not exported to global variables unless explicitly included in $backcompat['prop_names']. Likewise, a class's static methods are not exported as global functions unless explicitly included in $backcompat['func_names'].

$backcompat['prop_names'] is a simple array where the keys are the names of one or more of a class's static properties, and the values are the names of global variables. In each case, the global variable will be set to a reference to the static property. Static properties that are not named in this array will not be exported.

$backcompat['func_names'] is a simple array where the keys are the names of one or more of a class's static methods, and the values are the names that should be used for global functions that will encapsulate those methods. Methods that are not named in this array will not be exported.

Adding non-static properties or methods to the $backcompat arrays will produce runtime errors. It is the responsibility of the developer to make sure not to do this.

list_getIPMessageCount()

Gets the number of posts made from a particular IP

public static list_getIPMessageCount(string $where[, array<string|int, mixed> $where_vars = [] ]) : int
Parameters
$where : string

A query indicating which posts to count

$where_vars : array<string|int, mixed> = []

The parameters for $where

Return values
int

Count of messages matching the IP

list_getIPMessages()

Gets all the posts made from a particular IP

public static list_getIPMessages(int $start, int $items_per_page, string $sort, string $where[, array<string|int, mixed> $where_vars = [] ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$start : int

Which item to start with (for pagination purposes)

$items_per_page : int

How many items to show on each page

$sort : string

A string indicating how to sort the results

$where : string

A query to filter which posts are returned

$where_vars : array<string|int, mixed> = []

An array of parameters for $where

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

An array containing information about the posts

load()

Static wrapper for constructor.

public static load() : object
Return values
object

An instance of this class.

trackIP()

Backward compatibility wrapper.

public static trackIP([int $memID = 0 ]) : void
Parameters
$memID : int = 0

The ID of a member whose IP we want to track.

__construct()

Constructor. Protected to force instantiation via self::load().

protected __construct() : mixed
