Tips for PHP code reutilization? Topic is solved

[Giu]

Hi all,

As my demo project start growing, I have to start thinking in reuse the same code I need in several different places. In standard PHP we move this code to libraries/classes and "include" them.

I guess here we have to use nuProcedure and/or nuRunProcedure.
I see nuProcedure returns the code as string to eval it, and nuRunProcedure executes directly this procedure.

Would like to know the "nuStandard" way to reuse code and "send params/receive data" from this code inside procs (returns? hash cookies?). There are ways to put several functions and reuse from one procedure? Main advantages/disavantadges between nuProc and nuRunProc? It's better to use a procedure for each function? What suggestions are about all of this?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a set of PHP functions that I use across multiple forms, which are stored in an external PHP file.
To organise these, you can create e.g. a ‘libs’ folder in the nuBuilder root directory and place your PHP file(s) in this folder.

In nuconfig.php, search for the setting "$nuConfigIncludePHP" and include them like:

Code: Select all

$nuConfigIncludePHP	 = ['../libs/mylib1.php','../libs/mylib1.php'];

Example of external php file: mylib1.php:

Code: Select all

<?php

function myfunction($param) {
	// do something here
}

But Hash cookies can be used there?

You can pass them as parameters to the function.

Oh, of course, you are right.

nuRunQuery can be run there in that functions too I guess? or what include we must do?

Thanks.

Yes, nuRunQuery() can be used directly, there's no need to include the nu-core files again.
