Hi,

simply, the GetDocumentList is not a static function.
you would need something like this:

$source = new Source();
$listSources = $source->GetDocumentList();

for consistency, all the functions in a POG object need an instatiated
object.

Re: Problem with Base64 plugin

Hi Aaron,

To get the base64 plugin to install, you need the encoding to be 0 and
then switch it back to 1 after it installs. I've had that problem too,
and found the solution somewhere on the POG site I think. I suppose it
is a weak point for the setup.

Okay, I'm going to answer my own question, sort of.
Out of desperation, I "tricked" Setup.
1. With Configuration showing encoding=0, I ran setup. No problem!
2. I set encoding=1.
3. Back in Setup, I continue from the successful setup. Boom! I'm into
the Manage Objects tab, and I can see all my objects' data!

Hi there,
I've just posted a new website for a client, and ran into a bit of a
snag: I'd written the application in PHP5, but the client's hosting
company is still on PHP4! Bastards! Anyway, I thought 'no problem',
and regenerated all the objects to go with PHP4. Of course, as we know
I can no longer run the application on my dev machine running PHP5. I

FetchObject/Database bug?

palan...@gmail.com (Palantar) — Thu, 01 May 2008 01:10:16 UT

Heyas Joel, just wondering - this looks like a bug to me, but
obviously you'll know better. in the POG base class, FetchObjects/
CreateObjects appears to be expecting the database query to return a
valid mysql_result, but it is returning the number of rows instead. I
get an error every time I use it.

All, I just wanted to follow up and close this issue. I have come to
believe that it's not really an issue. After logging the issed with
the hosting facility, I suspect that the guy jacked up the number of
available database connections and didn't tell us (not so nice, IMO).
The reason is that since we escalated it with them, the problem has

True,

However, we don't reference the database class either from any of the
objects. We assume (maybe wrongly) that users will include/auload all
the objects they need when they need it... Arguably, we try to make as
few architectural decisions as possible and leave that up to the
programmer. we just supply the objects.

POG Object Oriented Bug

Bleh, smaller version after google lost my first post:

It appears that a parent object in POG does not require_once the class
file for any child objects. This can result in runtime errors when
using Delete(true) and probably other functions if the client code has
not already included the child class file. This seems incorrect to

Re: Newbie question - more than one object

marksle...@gmail.com (Crispy) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:47:25 UT

Yes,

The first one you download the zip to have the complete package of
things you need.
The second on further objects, you can:
- download the zip and copy the one object out of the zip and place it
into the objects folder.
- create an new class file in the folder and paste the code from the

dupont...@gmail.com (dupont2br) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:34:11 UT

Just starting out with POG. I used the zip file to successfully create
an app using one table/object.

I have questions concerning use of multiple objects. when you use the
POG form to build the objects, do you download the zip package for the
first object and then create individual class files for the additional

And another thing....
If it were implemented, it would need to be an array of arrays (I think)
so that the order of the elements could be guaranteed?

You can hack this with a bit of a 'sql injection' (so be very careful if
you allow your users to enter details of sort orders).
If you want to order on 'sort' (ascending) and 'objid' (descending) as
in your example you can specify "sort asc, objid" as the value for $sort
and false for $ascending.
I feel dirty every time I do that though :o}

Multiple sort conditions

daniel.heide...@gmail.com (daniel79) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:47:21 UT

Hi,

first of all thanks a lot for POG! It's an amazing time-saver!

I have one wish for the next Version:

$myObj->GetList();

should take an array for $sortBy... like:

$myObj->GetList(null, array('sort' => true, 'objid' => false));

where true/false means ascending and descending.

Or is this a larger problem?

John,
Welcome to the wonderful world of references, copies and clones in php.
Your email has chivvied me into action and I've tried to describe what
is going on, partly for my own reference in the future as this has
bitten me recently with a project I've been working on. See
