For those remaining in the config file - I have a few rambled entries
somewhere (I have a library of notes and stuff somewhere) about pushing the
config file into an class. Basically the idea talks about getting config
values into a game's object model. It suggests composing the config file as
a class - typically an object with properties, and various 'getter' methods.
It is only a suggestion - I think my thinking at the time was to remove any
non-essential variable setting that occured, and use an object to store
config data instead. Therefore avoid passing config data around using
globals or constants that might be open to interference. As a class, config
data can be completely secured from outside influence short of someone
actually editing the file.
For the sake of illustration, such a class would be similar to:
<?php
// php4 version
class ConfigurationData {
var $root = '/path/to/basedir'; // list of all config vars written by
install process
function ConfigurationData() {}
// singleton instantiation method (only one class ever instantiated,
regardless of number of calls
function &getInstance() {
static $thisInstance;
if($thisInstance == null) {
$thisInstance = new ConfigurationData();
}
return $thisInstance;
}
// getter method for ConfigurationData::root
function getRoot() {
return $this->root;
}
}
?>
Usage:
$config = ConfigurationData::getInstance();
require_once($config->getRoot() . '/core/classes/example.class.php');
It looks nicer in PHP5...without the reference &'s littering the singleton,
being able to declare static properties, etc. To be honest the past few
months PHP4 has been pushing back what I can do in QS. I'm looking forward
to more widespread PHP5 adoption.
Just thought I'd throw this out as a FYI. In QS3, and the next SR version, I
expect pretty much all data to be encapsulated in objects per the MVC model.
It's also looking like both games will start arriving in both PHP4 and PHP5
variants for future compatibility (PHP4 versions will be 'dumbed' down
enough to work - the PHP5 version will be more secure and less error prone.
Another FYI, eh?
In PHP5, each property would be private (cannot be set outside a class
method - and there will be no setter methods).
In either version, you would include config data using the usage example
from within any class requiring access to the data. Therefore, no globals,
or constants, etc. that may be insecure.
Another MtR copyrighted ramble ;)
