guys please help me to understand these code
in picture 1 router is calling with info method
as you can see in AccountController there is already info() is present then why __call() this magic function is calling
and what are these parameters is $this->request ,$this->response
we can save all data like
$request = $args[0]; $response = $args[1]; $attributes = $args[2];
why $this-> syntex is use what is the meaning of this line $this->$name();
Router.php
<?php
$app->get('/account', '\App\Controller\AccountController:info');
?>
AccountController.php
<?php
/**
* AccountController
* @package Controllers
*/
namespace App\Controller;
final class AccountController extends \App\Core\Controller
{
protected function info()
{
echo $this->client_id;
}
}
Controller.php
<?php
namespace App\Core;
class Controller
{
public function __call($name,$args) { //line 25
//echo "Call method : ".$name;
$this->request = $args[0];
$this->response = $args[1];
$this->attributes = $args[2];
//print_r($this->attributes);
$this->client_id = $this->request->getAttribute("client_id");
$this->$name();
}
}
?>
Router.php called your info() method on AccountController.php
But your method is protected and info() method not accessible out of the class
so __call() magic method has been called with $name and $args parameters.
$name => value is method name. "info".
$args => value array of response,request,attributes
$this => It's a reference to the current object, it's most commonly used in the object-oriented code.
What does the variable $this mean in PHP?
request,response,attributes,client_id they are variables of the controller class and accessible on each method of controller class children. like $this->client_id in your AccountController class.
$this->request = $args[0];
$this->response = $args[1];
$this->attributes = $args[2];
$this->client_id = $this->request->getAttribute("client_id");
$this->$name(); This dymnaic way for call the methods.
