Okay - Im writing an object to wrap a database. The key problem is this: - it declares a connection var as an object property - the open() function opens the connection to the database and stores the handle in $this->connection - the executeQuery() method complains about not having a valid handle, because by then, somehow, $this->connection==null!!! Any ideas?-i swear its just something stupid ive missed ... HELP! Thanx in advance, AndrewH ------------------------------------------------------------- The code following this returns the following to the browser: ------------------------------------------------------------- The connection in open() is :Resource id #1 The connection in executeQuery() is :'' Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid PostgreSQL link resource in /var/wwwroot/php/PostgreSQLDataSource.php on line 67 ------------------------------------------------------------- class PostgreSQLDataSource { var $connection; var $lastResultSet; var $error_handler; var $host, $port, $username, $password, $database; function PostgreSQLDataSource($host, $port, $username, $password, $database) { global $error_handler; $this->error_handler = $error_handler; $this->host = $host; $this->port = $port; $this->username = $username; $this->password = $password; $this->database = $database; //Legacy behaviour: $this->open($host, $port, $username, $password, $database); } function open(/*variable arg list*/) { $connectionString = ""; if (func_num_args() == 5) { $this->host = func_get_arg(0); $this->port = func_get_arg(1); $this->username = func_get_arg(2); $this->password = func_get_arg(3); $this->database = func_get_arg(4); } if ($this->host) $connectionString .= " host=".$this->host; if ($this->port) $connectionString .= " port=".$this->port; if ($this->username) $connectionString .= " user=".$this->username; if ($this->password) $connectionString .= " password=".$this->password; if ($this->database) $connectionString .= " dbname=".$this->database; $this->connection = pg_Connect($connectionString); echo "The connection in open() is :".$this->connection."<BR>"; if ($this->connection == false) return false; else return true; } function close() { return pg_Close($this->connection); } function executeQuery($queryString) { echo "The connection in executeQuery() is :'".$this->connection."'<BR>"; $this->lastResultSet = pg_exec($this->connection,$queryString); return new Iterator($this); } /*PRIVATE FUNCTIONS:*/ function getRow($row) { return pg_fetch_array($this->lastResultSet,$row); } function getResultLength() { return count($this->lastResultSet); } } -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
