Capitalisation issue

[robert....@gmail.com]

I am working on a LAMP stack previously I have had no problems with
capitalisation. Recently I have found that to run the setup I need a
class.database.php yet to make the application run I need a
class.Database.php.

Is this a known issue? I know it will not show on windows machines.

I have not encountered this before.

What OS are you running and which versions of php and webserver?

I would check your files for an include class.Database... Somewhere
too. It may be a single typo in a source file that is causing your
grief.

The problem is in the POG objects. They refer to Database:: this needs
to be database::
If the database needs to be capitalised then there should be a
strtolower in the autoloader.

The set-up explicitly loads class.database.php (lower case)

The file is shipped as a lower case file name

There are a number of ways to fix this

1 - Solve it at the autoloader
2 - Capitalise the download and alter the include in the test modules
3 - Change Database:: to database:: in the pog generated objects.

Note in class.database.php the class name is Database but php seems
to cope with this when asked to crate a database object

I have gone for 3 and it works for me

LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) As it is a capitalisation issue I am
assuming the Linux bit is the significant one.
I can do full versions and vendors if required.

Makes sense Robert, but where is the autoload that you're referring
to? Can't find it.

I was assuming that there was some sort of auto loading in among the
objects but I was wrong. I use the php magic method to load the
objects I can fix it there myself.

It may be useful to include the fix in the documentation I will
provide it once it is tested. A more elegemt solution would be to fix
the capitalisation issue. I have downloaded the POG source and am
having a bit osf a look at that too. My main issue is :- How fixed are
the team on their style rules, because if they are the fix is to
capitalise the object file names to match the class anes and fix the
one include in the set up.

Interesting... I take the blame for that design decision.

typing file names without caps is a whole lot safer from a human
perspective, but not so with a simple auto-loader.
What are you using for the auto loading? I seem to recall PHP 5 having
something somewhere for that, but that could be a delusion of mine...
If it is a small script, scanning for both class.Database.php and
lowercase(class.Database.php) would be a sensible fix.

There is my new loader code.

function __autoload($class_name) {
$filename_lower = 'class.'.strtolower($class_name) . '.php';
$filename = 'class.'.$class_name . '.php';
if(file_exists('objects/'. $filename_lower))require_once 'objects/'.
$filename_lower ; #includes the POG class
if(file_exists('myObjects/'. $filename))require_once 'myObjects/'.
$filename ; #includes the CUSTOM classes
}

The autoload magic method is invoked if a class is not found. I am
still havving issues ignoreing classed in the normal object directory
so I keep mine apart!

[Robert Mortimer]

Paris Paraskeva also has the same strtolower in his auto loader.
See ODBc connect thread

PS that's having not havving in the last post

Yep, if I remember well it was working well in windows (test server) but was
having problems on my live server (redhat) so strtolower solved my problem
:)

I have now upgraded my test server to php 5.3 and I fixed all sort of
different problems to make everything work. Noting from POG or my code but
2-3 classes that I am using for all sorts of different stuff.

Auto loading classes is and excellent way of keeping you code clean from
includes while not loading unnecessary code.

I will be converting most of my CMS into classes just for the sake for auto
loading just the code that needs to run and nothing else!

Hell I am doing something similar with CSS and JavaScript in order to make
things faster.

I am running into the same problem.
I have tried the autoloader that Paris posted, and also tried the 3
solutions posted by Robert Mortimer, but still can't find Class
Database (or database when renamed).

What else can I try? Any ideas?

Setup reports no errors. I can write/read from tables created by pog
setup with other scripts and I can even add a record from the Manage
Objects tab.

Linux server, PHP 5.2.6, POG generated with PHP 5.1+ and PDO/mySql

[Paris Paraskeva]

My autoloader should work fine with no capitalization problem since I am converting class names to lowercase!
I have it running on both windows, mac and linux working fine!

You just need to replace $config['root-path'] with an absolute file path to your script root

Thanks Paris,

I have done that, I even tried just putting the absolute path in the autoload's $path statement. 

It still has fatal error in the object class where it says - '$connection = Database::Connect();'

How does the autoloader function get called? just by including it?

Not sure what else to try...

[Joel]

try including database.php using include() in your actual code.

[Paris Paraskeva]

You simply need to include that function and it will be done automatically. Try and echo the path of the file that the loader tries to load

 

You don’t need to include the database file since the autoloader will do that!

 

Are you on php 5 ??? Auto load does not work on php 4 !!!
