Php: Learning OOP, Static vs normal method
Question
This is my first post in Stack Overflow so bear with me if I don't conform to any of the rules. I have been scripting in php for a while now but have never actually used any of its OOP side. I have been doing a training course on-line (not sure if i'm aloud to state which one because of copyright ?)
Either way during the course the programmer made a few static methods inside of one of his class, I decided i didn't want to make mine static. Here is the code he writ below. I did mine all the same just with different references to the variables in the code like $this->variable.
`<?php
// If it's going to need the database, then it's
// probably smart to require it before we start.
require_once(LIB_PATH.DS.'database.php');

He then went onto using find_all() as to get all the contents from the photographs table on the view_photos.php page
$photos = Photograph::find_all();
?>
<?php include_layout_template('admin_header.php'); ?>
<h2>Photographs</h2>
<?php echo output_message($message); ?>
<table class="bordered">
<tr>
<th>Image</th>
<th>Filename</th>
<th>Caption</th>
<th>Size</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th> </th>
</tr>
<?php foreach($photos as $photo): ?>
<tr>
<td><img src="../<?php echo $photo->image_path(); ?>" width="100" /> </td>
<td><?php echo $photo->filename; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $photo->caption; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $photo->size_as_text(); ?></td>
<td><?php echo $photo->type; ?></td>
<td><a href="delete_photo.php?id=<?php echo $photo->id; ? >">Delete</a></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
As you can see he makes a static call to the find_all() method and then loops through the array to list all of the photos from the database using the captured data stored in the photos variable, using all of the variables inside of the class. below is my find_all() method.
public function find_all() {
global $database;
$result = $this->find_by_sql("SELECT * FROM ".$this->table_name);
return $result;
}
when i do the same thing but with an instance of the object Photograph
$photo_object = new Photograph();
$photos = find_all();
If i try and then do the same loop as he does i just get the same result again and again (There are currently 4 entries in the database and i get the exact same entry about 10 times)
Here is my code which results in that output
<?php require_once("../../includes/initialize.php"); ?>
<?php if(!$session->is_logged_in()) { redirect_to("login.php");} ?>
<?php
//This is the class being called
$photo_object = new Photograph();
//Find all photos will return the result from the database. We then need to call the fetch array onit
//$photos = $photo_object->find_all_photos();
$photos = $photo_object->find_all();
?>
<?php include_layout_template('admin_header.php'); ?>
<h2>Photographs: List</h2>
<?php echo output_message($message);?>
<table class="bordered">
<tr>
<th>Image</th>
<th>Filename</th>
<th>Caption</th>
<th>Size</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th> </th>
</tr>
<?php foreach($photos as $photo): ?>
<tr>
<td><img src="<?php echo "../" . $photo_object->image_path() . $photo_object->filename;?>" width="100" /></td>
<td><?php echo $photo_object->filename; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $photo_object->caption; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $photo_object->size_as_text($photo_object->size); ?></td>
<td><?php echo $photo_object->type ?></td>
<td><a href="delete_photo.php?id=<?php echo $photo_object->id;?>">Delete</a> </td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>
<br />
<a href="photo_upload.php">Upload a new photograph</a>
<?php include_layout_template('admin_footer.php'); ?>
The code above outputs

Does this method have to be static ? Or am i just not seeing something, I resolved it by writing a new method
public function find_all_photos() {
global $database;
$query = "SELECT * FROM {$this->table_name}";
$result = $database->query($query);
return $result;
}
This works but i dont use any of the variables inside of the class instead i make a call to the photo array which i create in my foreach loop (foreach($photos as $photo)). Which makes the attributes inside of the class seem very pointless. Did i do this the right way ? Or is there something im just not understanding about objects ?
Thankyou in advance for any help i may get
Happy coding

The code as you have it now, passes $object_array into instantiate .
But instantiate is built to accepts only one row retrieved from the resultset.
If you examine $object_array before passing it, you will know more about why you get the undesired results.
public function find_by_sql($sql="") {
global $database;
$result = $database->query($sql);
$object_array = $database->fetch_array($result);
// Examine $object_array:
print '<pre>';
var_dump($object_array);
print '</pre>';
$object = $this->instantiate($object_array);
return $object_array;
}
About the following commented lines:
//while($row = $database->fetch_array($result)) {
//$object_array[] = $this->instantiate($row);
//}
I suggest uncommenting them and examine the $row 's:
while( $row = $database->fetch_array($result) ) {
// Examine $row:
print '<pre>';
print_r( $row );
print '</pre>';
//$object_array[] = $this->instantiate($row);
}
About the function instantiate - The way you are using it now, every time it gets called, it sets the properties (id, filename ... etc) of itself. So the last time this function gets called, the values of the properties of the Photograph instance are the same as the ones from the last $record that has been passed to it.
private function instantiate($record) {
//Could check if $record exists and is an array
//Simple long form approach
//$object = new self;
$this->id= $record['id'];
$this->filename = $record['filename'];
$this->type = $record['type'];
$this->size = $record['size'];
$this->caption = $record['caption'];
}
This is a start to provide you insight about why you see 10 times the same result.
I wrote an example to illustrate how you go about to do what you are looking for (determining from your comments):
/**
* A new class 'Photographs' to 'manage' the collection of photographs:
**/
class Photographs {
protected static $table_name="photographs";
public $photographObjects = array();
function __construct() {
// The constructor runs on creation/instantiation of the 'Photographs' object
print 'Photographs object created...';
}
// Retrieves the data and instantiates Photograph objects:
public function get_photographs() {
global $database;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ". $this->table_name;
$this->photographObjects = array(); // empty the array before filling it
$result = $database->query($sql);
while( $row = $database->fetch_array( $result ) ) {
$tmpPhotograph = new Photograph();
$tmpPhotograph->id = $row['id'];
$tmpPhotograph->filename = $row['filename'];
// etc etc (or make the 'instantiate' function of the 'Photograph' class public, so you can do:
// $tmpPhotograph->instantiate($row);
// Now add a created and initialized object to your array:
$this->photographObjects[] = $tmpPhotograph;
}
}
// render the photographs:
public function render_photographs() {
if ( count($this->photographObjects) > 0 ) {
// loop through the objects in the photograpsObjects array:
foreach ( $this->photographObjects as $tmpPhotograph ) {
// in this line you can see that public properties (filename), and functions (image_path()) are available:
print '<img src="../' . $tmpPhotograph->image_path() . $tmpPhotograph->filename . '" width="100" />';
}
} else {
// Nothing found, inform the user:
print 'No photographs in array';
}
}
}
To use:
$photographManager = new Photographs();
$photographManager->get_photographs(); // retrieve them
$photographManager->render_photographs(); // output them
or when you want to use your line:
<?php foreach($photos as $photo): ?>
You could do this:
<?php foreach( $photographManager->photographObjects as $photo ): ?>
I hope this clears up some things for you.
