| [*][b]What does $a mean?[/b] | ||||
| $a is a class defined in boot.php and passed all around Red Matrix as a global reference variable. It defines everything necessary for the Red Matrix application: Server variables, URL arguments, page structures, layouts, content, installed plugins, output device info, theme info, identity of the observer and (potential) page owner ...  | ||||
| We don't ever create more than one instance and always modify the elements of the single instance. The mechanics of this are somewhat tricky. If you have a function that is passed $a and needs to modify $a you need to declare it as a reference with '&' e.g.  | ||||
|  | ||||
| [code]function foo(&$a) { $a->something = 'x'; // whatever }; | ||||
|  | ||||
| *or* access it within your function  as a global variable via get_app() | ||||
|  | ||||
| function foo() { | ||||
|     $a = get_app(); | ||||
|     $a->something = 'x'; | ||||
| } | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| function foo($a) { $a->something = 'x'; };  | ||||
|  | ||||
| will *not* change the global app state.  | ||||
|  | ||||
| function foo() { | ||||
|    get_app()->something = 'x'; | ||||
| } | ||||
| [/code] | ||||
| [/ul] | ||||
