Creating a New midgard_reflection_property Instance
The Midgard Reflection Property object is instantiated with a classname as parameter.
object midgard_reflection_property(string 'classname');
Derived classes' names may be used as parameters, too. In this case the base schema classname is determined internally by the midgard-php extension, and used by midgard-core's reflection property object.
A Warning messag is logged and the constructor returns FALSE if the class's name used as constructor parameter is not the name of a registered MgdSchema class and if the class doesn't extend the base schema class.
<?php
$classname = "midgard_group";
if($mrp = new midgard_reflection_property($classname))
{
echo "Reflection property class instance successfully created";
}
?>
Midgard Reflection Property Methods
Usage Example:
<?php
$article = new midgard_article();
$ref = new midgard_reflection_property(get_class($article));
foreach (get_object_vars($article) as $key => $val){
print "\n Property $key :\n";
$descr = $ref->description($key);
print "\t '$descr' \n";
if($ref->is_multilang($key))
print "\t is multilang \n";
else
print "\t is not multilang\n";
if($ref->is_link($key)) {
$link = $ref->get_link_name($key);
print "\t is a link to $link \n";
}
$type = $ref->get_midgard_type($key);
if($type == MGD_TYPE_LONGTEXT)
print "\t is editable text \n";
if($type == MGD_TYPE_TIMESTAMP)
print "\t is setable date \n";
}
