How exactly does CI custome object works ?
As per CI documentation You can also pass a string to result() which represents a class to instantiate for each result object (note: this class must be loaded)
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users;");
foreach ($query->result('User') as $row)
{
echo $row->name; // call attributes
echo $row->reverse_name(); // or methods defined on the 'User' class
}
}
This is a very nice feature yet what Ci does is it will return an array of User objects and set attributes from row to it.
i have a problem with it that i want to have more control on what attributes to be publicly accessed and what to be modified before setting/getting.
how can i accomplish this ? can i tell CI to pass all attributes to constructor so that class can populate its own data ?
example class User
class User{
private $data=array();
protected $CI;
//public $id,$name,$dob,$gender,$role,$username,$password,$salt,$picture,$lastactive;
function __construct($data=null)
{
$this->data = $data; // i want to save data to a private var and allow attr. throu getters only
}
function set_password($p){
$this->generateSalt();
$this->data->password = $p.$this->data->salt;
}
}
In a nutshell::
I want to use custom_result_object but i dont want codeigniter to populate class attributes for me, instead i want the class to receive those attrs and populate it him self the way he this its appropriate.
