Get class php,PHP: get_class_vars - Manual

This is one of the best php functions. Look at what you can do

class Object

{

var $updtFields;//keep track of affected values

function Object($record="") {

if (is_array($record))

{

$this->updtFields = array();

foreach(array_keys(get_class_vars(get_class($this))) as $k)

if (isset($record[$k]))

{

$this->$k = $record[$k];

$this->updtFields[] = $k;

}

}

}//end of arrayToObject

function toDebug($nl='
')

{

foreach(array_keys(get_class_vars(get_class($this))) as $k)

echo "$k = [" . $this->$k . "]{$nl}";

}//end of toDebug

}

Now you can do really cool things. If you have a form like

and you define your class like this

class Person extends Object{

var $name; //same same as in the form

var $phone;

}

when you submmit the form, you can get the data like

$person = new Person($_POST);

//everything in just one line,cool!! Also if you use pear db or adodb when you get data from the database you can do the same thing except use the $row that you get from the database. Remember to ask the result is associative mode.

This is my core Object for everthing I do and it works great.
