I’m making a web application in Zend Framework. I’ve reached the stage of cleaning up<\/em>. As things often go, I have a couple of messy view scripts that have become utterly unreadable (tons of (v)sprintf<\/code>‘s and loops).<\/p>\n

There’s one view that’s an absolute nightmare… (no\/inaccurate comments, shorthand… all things considered to be mortal sins). Just an example:<\/p>\n

$rows[$c] .= ''.sprintf('',$t.'['.$ref->getCode().']').str_replace('>'.$ref->getCValue().''.$ref->getCValue().'partialLoop('controller\/_myPartial.phtml',array('model'=>$arr));\n\/\/in the partial loop:\nZend_Debug::dump($this->m);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
I see all my models correctly, but their keys have all been turned into properties.<\/p>\n
$this->FOO->someMethod();\/\/works fine\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Bur I want it to be:<\/p>\n
\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
I’ve also tried using $this->partialLoop()->setObjectKey('Mylib_Model_Person');<\/code>, but that didn’t seem to make any difference, other then confuse me.<\/p>\n
The only solutions I see is either array_map<\/code>, but that would defeat the point (I’m trying to end up with a clean view script); or rewrite a part of my service layer, to return the data ready structured, and keep the array_map<\/code> there.<\/p>\n
I can’t help thinking that what I want to do, essentially use a partialLoop as an array_map<\/code> callback, is possible. If it isn’t, is there an alternative? Any thoughts?<\/p>\n
I’ve tried get_object_properties($this)<\/code>, and iterate through the object properties, to no avail, the loop simply doesn’t get executed(?!)<\/p>\n
As it turns out $this->partialLoop()->setObjectKey('Mylib_Model_Person');<\/code> should have been $this->partialLoop()->setObjectKey('model');<\/code>. If I do change this, and start the partial loop by dumping $this->model<\/code>, I see my model. However:<\/p>\n
echo $this->model->someMethod(); \/\/throws error: method on non-object\nZend_Debug::dump(get_class_methods($this->model));\/\/shows all methods, including someMethod()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
And to add insult to injury, tears and confusion. The model implements the toArray-thing, so I tried:<\/p>\n
echo $this->model['someData'];\/\/Error: cannot use object of type Mylib_Model_Person as array!!\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
So, it’s not an object when I try to use methods, it’s an object when trying to access data as an array, and when using the magic getter method ($this->model->some_Data<\/code>) it doesn’t do anything. No errors, but no output either. The view is rendered as is.<\/p>\n
I’m thinking I ran into a bug. I’ll rapport it. Consider this:<\/p>\n
$methods = get_class_methods($this->model);\nwhile($m = array_shift($methods))\n{\n    if (substr($m,0,3) === 'get')\n    {\n        Zend_Debug::dump($m);\/\/e.g getName\n        Zend_Debug::dump($this->model->{$m}());\/\/'Foobar'\n        $m = 'someMethod';\/\/copy-paste, so typo's aren't to blame\n        Zend_Debug::dump($this->model->{$m}());\/\/'the data I was after'\n    }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
So that works, but the, if I try:<\/p>\n
$this->model->{'someMethod'}();\/\/Error again\n\/\/or even:\n$m = 'someMethod';\necho $this->model->{$m}();\/\/Error...\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
That can’t be right<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
