I am selecting data from a database. The database field names are exactly the same as the class variable names. Is there a way to store this data into the class variables without specifying each one individually?
//gets info about a specified file.
//chosen based on a supplied $fileId
function getFileInfo($fileId)
{
//select info from database
$sql = "SELECT id, companyId, url, name, contentType, fileSize, saved, retrieved
FROM files
WHERE id = $fileId";
$results = $this->mysqli->query($sql);
$results = $results->fetch_object();
//store info into class variables
$this->id = $results->id;
$this->companyId = $results->companyId;
$this->url = $results->url;
$this->name = $results->name;
$this->contentType = $results->contentType;
$this->fileSize = $results->fileSize;
$this->saved = $results->saved;
$this->retrieved = $results->retrieved;
}
解决方案
I'd propose this approach:
$nameMap = array(
'id',
'companyId',
'url',
'name',
'contentType',
'fileSize',
'saved',
'retrieved',
);
foreach( $nameMap as $attributeName ) {
$this->$attributeName = $results->$attributeName ;
}
While one could write
foreach($result as $var => $value) {
...
}
the outcome fully depends on backing table's structure. If you add further attributes to the table, your code might break.
Using $nameMap, the application still works.
