Hi, I want to preface this by saying I am not new to php, however, this is the first time that I am using the OOP features of PHP5 with any complexity, and I am getting an error, in any event, here is the story. I have a form handling class (kind of like an action class in struts) that validates and processes a form.
When I load the page that includes the controller class I get this error referencing the controller:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW in /home/10447/domains/test.allmalts.com/html/_classes/controllers/AddDistilleryController.php on line 11
Line 11 is the line where the distillery object is instantiated.
However, it needs to instantiate a Model class (Distillery) to get that model's insert and validate functions. Here is the controller class:
<?
/** PHP Class For Processing distillery insertions **/
//pull in the required classes
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/_classes/models/Distillery.php");
class AddDistilleryController
{
//declare objects
private $theDistillery = new Distillery();
//declare variables
private returnArray = array();
/**
* execute - takes a data array and adds it to the database after validating it
**/
public function execute($data)
{
//first, validate the data
$errors = $this->theDistillery->distilleryErrors($data);
//if there are errors
if($errors)
{
$this->returnArray['type'] = "errors";
$this->returnArray['errors'] = $errors;
$this-returnArray['data'] = $data;
}
else
{
//there are no errors, so process the data
$saveBoo = $this->theDistillery->save($data);
//the save worked
if($saveBoo)
{
$this->returnArray['type'] = "success";
}
else
{
//oops an error
$this->returnArray['type'] = "failure";
}
}
//return the array
return $this->returnArray;
}
}
?>Here is the Distillery class:
<?
//include the databaseconnection
require_once($SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/classes/common/database/DataHandler.php");
class Distillery
{
//constructor
public function __construct()
{
}
//create the data connection object;
private $dataConn = new DataHandler();
//declare params
private $name = null;
private $region = null;
private $description = null
private $address1 = null;
private $address2 = null;
private $town = null;
private $postal = null;
private $owner = null;
private $year = null;
private $stills = null;
private $active = null;
private $tours = null;
private $addedBy = null;
private $lastUpdatedBy = null;
private $lastUpdatedDate = null;
/*************************************************************/
//save, update and validate functions
/**
* validateDistillery - gets data and validates if it is valid
* returns false if no errors, returns an array of errors if it does
**/
function distilleryErrors($data)
{
//errors array
$errorArray = array();
//return value
$return = false;
if($data['name'] == "")
{
$errorArray[] = "Please add a distillery name";
}
if($data['listRegion'] == "999")
{
$errorArray[] = "Please select a region";
}
if($data['description'] == "")
{
$errorArray[] = "Please enter a description";
}
if(sizeof($errorArray) > 0)
{
$return = $errorArray;
}
return $return;
}
/**
* save() - takes data and saves it into the database
*
**/
function save($data)
{
$name = addslashes($data['name']);
$region = $data['listRegions'];
$description = addslashes($data['description']);
$address1 = addslashes($data['address1']);
$address2 = addslashes($data['address2']);
$town = addslashes($data['town']);
$postal = addslashes($data['postal']);
$year = addslashes($data['year']);
$owner = addslashes($data['owner']);
$tours = $data['tours'];
$status = $data['active'];
$addedBy = $data['addedBy'];
$photoPath = "http://";
$stills = $data['stills'];
$query = "INSERT INTO makers VALUES('Null', '$description', '$region', '$addedBy', NOW(), '$addedBy', '$address1', '$address2', '$town', '$postal', '$owner', '$status', '$stills', '$year', '$photoPath');
$result = $this->dataConn->runQuery($query);
}
}
?>I am using PHP 5 (obviously)
Thanks or any help.
