A curiosity about ADOdb and ::

[whisher06]

Hi anyOne.
Out of curiosity is it possible
to use the Scope Resolution Operator way for ADOdb
like this(I don't know the main class of ADOdb I tried it ):

ADOConnection::NewADOConnection("mysql");

but you know it gives me a nasty error

Fatal error: Call to undefined method ADOConnection::newadoconnection()

Is there a right syntax ?
I mean can I use ADOdb without having not yet any instances
of it.
Take care

NewADOConnection is a regular function not a class method. Call it simply with

$conn = NewAdoConnection( 'mysql' );

But, I forgot TKS a lot for
the enlightment, if I try this:

ADOConnection::Connect("localhost","user","password","db");

ADOConnection it may be the class and
Connect should be a method.
I know it should be:

$conn->Connect("localhost","user","password","db");

the function returns an object could you give
me the file name I'd like to snoopy in it 🙂
It's a curiosioty but I think without curiosity
you never learn 😃
Take care.

I think NewADOConnection is a factory function for the library, I've never looked at the source 🙂

By the way good post on abstract class
on php5 forum I'm leaning OOP and it
has been very useful reading.

I'm writing wrapper for ADOdb (basically I want to create class that extends ADOConnection). So I extend

class DbConnection extends ADOConnection {
{
$conn = NewADOConnection('mysql');
$conn->Connect('localhost','root','123456');
}
}

I got the error mesage
Fatal error: Call to undefined method DbConnection::_connect() in
