Hi all,
I'm currently writing some PHP classes to wrap some functions around the
Mapscript classes like the layer, class and map classes. I've run into
some trouble with references to objects and it seems that the
ms_newClassObj function is whats messing things up. I know that sounds
strange but let me try and explain.
I have made my own php LayerObj object which has a msLayer property
($layer->msLayer) which holds a layer object that is returned from
running ms_newLayerObj. So I create a new LayerObj and I get a
ms_newLayerObj created as a property of my object. eg.
$layer = new LayerObj($map);
//I now can access the ms layer object through
$layer->msLayer->('name','Test layer');
class LayerObj{
var $msLayer;
function LayerObj(&$mapObj){
$this->msLayer=ms_newLayerObj($mapObj);
}
...other methods
}
I've written some functions in my LayerObj which act as a wrapper to the
mapserver layer functions. e.g set connection type, etc. These all work
well. When I compare the properties of $layer->msLayer to the properties
of $map->getLayer(x) I can see they are both pointing to the some object
in memory. I've got Zend studio and I can change a property of
$layer->msLayer and I see the changes reflected in the $map->getLayer(x)
instantly.
All the code works well until I get too the line where I add a Class to
the layer:
$class=ms_newClassObj($layer->msLayer);
If at this point I check the numclass property I get two different
results:
$layer->msLayer->numclasses;
//Prints 1
$map->getlayer(x)->numclasses
//Prints 0
It seems as soon as I run ms_newClassObj the reference between the
mapserver layer and the mapserver map object gets severed! Any ideas?
Thanks,
Benjamin Wragg
