{
case 'mysql':
include_once('DBmysql.php');
self::$DB = new DBmysql();
break;
case 'mssql':
include_once('DBmssql.php');
self::$DB = new DBmssql();
break;
case 'oracle':
include_once('DBoracle.php');
self::$DB = new DBoracle();
break;
default:
include_once('DBmysql.php');
self::$DB = new DBmysql();
break;
}
btw i removed the
PHP Code:
'DB'.$type.'.php'
in the includes because
lets say, $type = 'oracle' u dont really need concat the value of type into the include as its a switch so type will always be equal to 'oracle' otherwise it wouldnt have fired that line if you get my drift.
If this doesnt answer your question, i must be having one of my 'dense' days again and i shall go and beat myself with a fish until my brain gets running again. |
Ofcourse, but when I coded it was easier to just copy
PHP Code:
'DB'.$type.'.php'
to every line ;)
Anyhow, let's say you have just a normal mysql class in database.php
In index.php you need to include the database.php in order to create an instance of that object:
PHP Code:
include_once('database.php');
$db = new database();
because if you don't include it, then you can't create the database object.
You with me so far?
And now, I have this factory, in a file called DB.php
And each of the database classes is in DIFFERENT files:
DBmysql.php
DBmssql.php
DBoracle.php
But in my DB.php, I haven't included them, because I only want to include the one I will use for my instance of the object.
So, if I have
PHP Code:
$db = DB::getType('oracle');
this line will execute in DB.php:
PHP Code:
case 'oracle':
self::$DB = new DBoracle();
break;
But in order to create the new DBoracle object, we need to include the file, which holds that class.
And that's where my question comes in.
How will I include it, like I said before?
PHP Code:
case 'oracle':
include_once('DBoracle.php');
self::$DB = new DBoracle();
break;
And would that be the best way to include it?
