copied!<p>We have started to work with PHP developer, i looked at his code and from my perspective this is waste of ink to write stuff like this. I personally dont do OOP. </p> <p>He never answered this question can someone who good with OOP explain.</p> <p>In file <strong>inc/path.php</strong> you define <em>class Path</em> with different variables for path to files and folders</p> <pre><code>class Path { var $path_cnfg = null; /* URLs */ var $url_css = '';//for css url var $url_js = '';//for javascript url var $url_img = '';//for image url /* Paths */ var $path_inc = '';//inc directory path var $path_img = '';//image path function Path() { $this->path_cnfg = new Config(); /* Setting URL(s) */ $this->url_css = $this->path_cnfg->base_url.'assets/css/'; $this->url_js = $this->path_cnfg->base_url.'assets/js/'; $this->url_img = $this->path_cnfg->base_url.'assets/img/'; /* Setting Path(s) */ $this->path_inc = $this->path_cnfg->root_path.'/inc/'; $this->path_img = $this->path_cnfg->root_path.'/img/'; } } </code></pre> <p>A. Whats the purpose of method <strong>Path</strong> inside class path?</p> <pre><code>function Path() { $this->path_cnfg = new Config(); /* Setting URL(s) */ $this->url_css = $this->path_cnfg->base_url.'assets/css/'; $this->url_js = $this->path_cnfg->base_url.'assets/js/'; $this->url_img = $this->path_cnfg->base_url.'assets/img/'; /* Setting Path(s) */ $this->path_inc = $this->path_cnfg->root_path.'/inc/'; $this->path_img = $this->path_cnfg->root_path.'/img/'; } </code></pre> <p>B. In <strong>obj.php</strong> you transfer that variables from object <em>$path</em> to array <strong>$data</strong>.</p> <pre><code>$data['path_img'] = $path->path_img;//Assign image directory path $data['path_root'] = $config->root_path;//Assign root path $data['url_base'] = $config->base_url;//Assign base url $data['url_css'] = $path->url_css;//Assign css directory path $data['url_js'] = $path->url_js;//Assign javascript directory path $data['url_img'] = $path->url_img;//Assign url for image </code></pre> <p>What was purpose of having class <em>Path</em> over defining array <strong>$data</strong> by itself and use it derectly? Why we need to go trough all this methods and object to get to same variable ($data) that we could originally defined in 6 lines of code. e.g. </p> <pre><code>$data["path_img"] = $config->base_url . "assets/img/"; ... $data["url_css"] = $config->base_url . "/assets/css/" $data["url_js"] = $config->base_url . "assets/js/" $data["url_img"] = $config->base_url . "assets/img/" </code></pre>
