setDataSource with an array of objects?

[christocracy]

Hello Mr. Wei & Mr. Jasrags.  I've implemented your PetShop DAO design in my current project.  very nice.

I'm starting to bubble the Service objects up to the interface now and I'm getting errors when trying to set the datasource of my TDataGrid.

Code:

$inv = new InventoryService();
//TDataGrid
$this->recordset->setDataSource($inv->getManufacturerList());

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type Manufacturer as array in /usr/local/lib/php/prado/framework/Web/UI/WebControls/TButtonColumn.php on line 188

I guess I'll kill the call to the populate(Array $row) function and return an array of rows instead?

if you want to use the objects as in the datasource for datagrid, the objects need to implement ArrayAccess

e.g.

Code:

class Manufacturer implements ArrayAccess

or as in the PetShop example, just let the Prototype implement ArrayAccess.
CVS was updated, please allow 24 hours for the public CVS to catch up.


The new code allows something like the following

Code:

$item = new Item(); //e.g. class Item extends Prototype
echo $item->ItemID; //member variable read
echo $item['ItemID']; //same as above but using array index

echo $item->Category->Name; // dereferenced object
echo $item['Category']->Name; // as above
echo $item['Category']['Name'] //as above if Category is also a Prototype

foreach($item as $property => $value) //iterate throught all the properties
echo "$property => $value \n";

Wei.
