protolus-application-php

A wrapper for protolus for web delivery

Usage

The main class for web delivery is WebApplication.class.php. Wraps a number of built-in php functions as well as some framework specific functionality.

1. php variables WebApplication can be used as a wrapper for built in php variables for $_GET, $_REQUEST and $_COOKIE. As well as your session handler.

   Get ands set $_GET:

    WebApplication::setGet("var", $some_var);
    $get_var = WebApplication::getGet("var");
   

   Equivalent to:

    $_GET['var'] = $some_var;
    $get_var = $_GET['var'];
   

   Get and set $_COOKIE:

    $cookie_var = WebApplication::getCookie("cookie_var");
   

   Equivalent to:

    $cookie_var = $_COOKIE["cookie_var"];
   

   Session:

    $session_var = WebApplication::getSession("sesion_var");
    WebApplication::setSession("session_var", "value");
   

   note: using WebApplications 'get' function will check the $_SESSION, $_SERVER and $_ENV for a specific variable.

    $some_var = WebApplication::get("some_var");
   

   with an optional second parameter, which set to true will check $_REQUEST, $_COOKIE, $_SESSION, $_SERVER, $_ENV

    $some_other_var = WebApplication::get("some_var", true);
   

2. configuration Allows you to access variables set in your configuration file.

    $config_var = WebApplication::getConfiguration("application.config_var");
   

   Also allows you to access a variable based on a certain prefix:

    $databases = getConfigurationsWithPrefix("DB:");
   

3. cache Register and then access caches in the applications pool of caches.

    WebApplication::addCache($mem_cache_object, 'memcache');
    WebApplication::setCache('memcache_var', $value, 'memcache');
    $memcache_var = WebApplication::getCache('memcache_var', 'memcache');
