PHP4 Issue

Hi,

Thanks for your great class. I want to use the files on my domain which is configured using PHP4. Can you please release a version which can be run using PHP4? Many Thanks.

I can try, but it's going to be missing some nice features such as method chaining. Check back soon.

I have added a PHP 4 compatible version of the classes. The only drawback of using PHP 4 with this class is the loss of method chaining, so you have to provide an array to the menu class.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply.You are absolutely right about method chaining. I think you can chain the objects in PHP4 using the following ( You can try this ):-

<?php
function &chain(&$obj, $call) {
return call_chain($obj, explode('->',$call));
}
function &call_chain(&$obj, $stack) {
if ($stack) {
eval('$new_obj =& $obj->'.array_shift($stack).';');
return call_chain($new_obj, $stack);
} else {
return $obj;
}
}

?>

And here is a cheesy example:

<?php
class chainOne {
function &makeTwo() { return new chainTwo; }
}
class chainTwo {
function &makeThree($a,$b) { return new chainThree($b); }
}
class chainThree {
var $x;
function chainThree($x) { $this->x = $x; }
function &makeTest() { return new chainTest($this->x); }
}
class chainTest {
var $y;
function chainTest($y) { $this->y = $y; }
function &doIt($z) { return array('made it!',$this->y,$z); }
}

$GLOBALS['foo'] = 'baz';
$one =& new chainOne;
var_dump(
chain($one,
'makeTwo()->makeThree("foo","bar")->makeTest()->doIt($GLOBALS["foo"])'
));

?>

Many Thanks :)
