[binarycloud-general] classes and packages?

[Alby L. <al...@th...>]

Hello GENERAL!

I've been trying to learn more about BC2, and I'm stuck on how some of the
php scripts communicate with each other.

Take for instance Auth.php, in there is a line that says
$PACKAGE='binarycloud.core'; does this mean that this file is part of
binarycloud.core, or that it should include all other stuff that's in
binarycloud.core?

Also, later on in Auth.php it reads 'include_once
DBOBJECTS."bc_logged_in.inc";' - and I imagine 'bc_logged_in.inc' is a file,
but why is that DBOJECTS. in front of it?

Then even later, in Init.php, there is a line that reads
"import('binarycloud.core.Lang');" Can anyone explain this structure to me?
I'm guessing that this references a package (binarycloud.core), and then a
class within that package? (Lang)

I've been there too :) In fact I am still there :)

That line is specifically for the Make file to grep in and find that it
should include the file in the build directory.

DBOBJECTS is a define()'d constant it is basically pointing to the
directory where bc_logged_in.inc is located.

see prepend.inc for the definition of import

They are trying to mimic the Java import statement using . instead of /
so they created a function called import() and it replaces the . into /
to include the file. Once you understand this construct you'll now how
to import() whatever file in BC that you want.

It's a shortcut of include_once really with a bit of help to translate
the correct path.

Cheers,
Jimmy

Ah,

this is used by the makefile systme to make the build tree.

in the source tree, auth is in:
binarycloud/base/core/Auth.php

in the build tree, it's in:
binarycloud/core/Auth.php

and you import auth using

import('binarycloud.core.Auth');

Auth is not done! :)

That isn't a functional file, it won't do a thing right now.

yes, import is just like java:

in the build tree, 
binarycloud/core/Lang.php exists, and that does work :) It sets the language
based on client settings and app preferences.
