Hi all,
Phalcon handles $this in classes in a weird way. Could you please explain the behavior below?
Class Foobar {
public function one() {
$this->two();
// The above like does not work as "$this" refers to something else in Phalcon (?)
Foobar::two();
// This works flawlessly. I'm wondering what's the performance overhead (if any)
}
public function two() {
echo "I'm function two()";
}
}Can't get such thing as you.
This is my testing library:
<?php
namespace Example\Library;
class TestClass {
public function one() {
echo 'Inside of TestClass.one()' . PHP_EOL;
$this->two();
}
public function two() {
echo 'Inside of TestClass.two()' . PHP_EOL;
}
}This is my testing controller:
<?php
namespace Example\Controllers;
class IndexController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller {
public function indexAction() {
echo 'Inside of #Index controller' . PHP_EOL;
echo 'Testing a normal "new" invocation: ' . PHP_EOL;
$library = new \Example\Library\TestClass();
$library->one();
echo 'Testing as a service invocation:' . PHP_EOL;
$this->library->one();
}
}And when i run it i got:
Inside of #Index controller
Testing a normal "new" invocation:
Inside of TestClass.one()
Inside of TestClass.two()
Testing as a service invocation:
Inside of TestClass.one()
Inside of TestClass.two()Ok, thanks. I guess I would need to dig deeper in my code.
How $this works is central to PHP - I don't think Phalcon changes it, or even could if it wanted to. Do a print_r($this) to see what it actually is.
