Okay, Shakespeare... "2B || !2B" is an example of what we were talking about.

As to Shakespeare spelling his name consistently, I can't comment.
But there is a "story" where Shakespeare assisted in the translation
of the King James version of the Bible.

Shakespeare was born in 1564 and supposedly worked on the Bible when
he was 46 years old. The Bible was published one year later in 1611.

In King James version of the Bible one can go to the 46th Psalm and
count 46 words from the beginning and find the work "Shake".
Similarly, one can count 46 words forward from the end of the 46
Psalm and find the word "Spear".

For proof of the word count, here's a link (count for yourself):

http://bartelby.org/108/19/46.html

Was this Shakespeare's addition or a coincidence? It's probably a
coincidence for I find it highly unlikely that Shakespeare influenced
the writing of the Bible, but I find it interesting speculation.

Cheers,

tedd

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Please, sir, I know that one: it's "floccinaucinihilipilification"!

(God knows why I ever learnt that -- probably some pointless schoolboy challenge 40-odd years ago!! Is that the one that means "the act of valuing as worthless", or am I confusing it with something else?

Back on topic, I must admit that a lot of txtspk sails by without me noticing -- I suspect as a legacy of online chatting on DEC-10s back in the 70s, using 10cps teletypes, with a line length limit of 80 characters!

And if you absolutely insist on doing it this way, make sure you start in the middle of the day -- if your base time is 12:00 noon (which is what I always use in this situation), the furthest it can go because of DST is 11:00 or 13:00, which won't screw you up if all you're interested in is the date. ;)

> purposes?

I have a possibly-evil idea that gets around type-hinting by
dynamically declaring decorator classes as children of the real
classes that need to be timed. You end up with as many "decorators" as
you have classes that need to be timed, but if this is for dev/QA
purposes only, that might not be a problem.

This method can't have the conceptual simplicity of yours,
unfortunately, because __call() will never be invoked in a child
class. The original parent's methods will just be called instead. But
you can still override the parent's methods with wrapper methods in
the child class.

I've got some sample code written that first calls get_class_methods()
to list the names of all the visible methods of the parent object,
then constructs code to declare a child class that overrides those
methods with wrapper methods, and finally eval()s the declaration and
instantiates an object of the new class.

The basic concept seems to work and to get along fine with
type-hinting. I'm happy to share the test code if you're interested.
Not sure how it would end up working in real life, and I'm guessing
there are more sophisticated ways to achieve the same concept, perhaps
using the Reflection API. I suspect it also needs some refining to
handle protected methods. But it might be a start.

You're right; that is evil.

But, interesting idea. It turns out for my specific purposes (a
generic decorator that measures a class's method execution times), a
full-fledged profiler like APD is really what I need, but I'll keep
this in mind for getting around the type-hinting, should the need
arise again.

Thanks.

You don't even need to do that; it'd generate way too much redundant
code. Instead, just use interfaces. The only real downside is that
all the classes you want to decorate would need to implement them and
that would cause a wee bit of ugliness in the code/class declaration.
But if you are fine with that, it's a perfect solution, particularly
since you can type hint interfaces.

interface iDecorator {}

class Thing implements iDecorator {}

class Timer
{
  public static function time( iDecorator $obj ) {}
}

$obj = new Thing();
Timer::time( $obj ); // $obj becomes a Timer obj with $obj inside it
$obj->thingMethod(); // Timer passes call to Timer->obj

thnx,
Christoph

Can you explain a bit more? As I understood the OP, the challenge was
to take a large, already-built code base that relies on Zend Framework
(which itself has 1600 classes), and wrap arbitrary existing methods
with timing logic -- without significant code changes.

As I understand your solution, it would require all pre-existing
classes to be modified to implement the iDecorator interface -- and
even then, pre-existing methods in those pre-existing classes would
not actually be affected. So those would have to be modified also.

But maybe I'm totally missing something?

Thanks for reply, but I want to:

unset($ARR['a']['b'])

Imagine I have this:

$KEYS = array('a', 'b', 'c');

And I want to:

unset($ARR['a']['b']['c'])

It's probably impossible, unless I do something dirty like this:

list($rootA, $rootB, $rootC) = $KEYS;

if (isset($rootC)) unset($x[$rootA][$rootB][$rootC]);
elseif (isset($rootB)) unset($x[$rootA][$rootB]);
elseif (isset($rootA)) unset($x[$rootA]);

This is possible. You're just not giving enough consideration to your
exit strategy :)

<?php

function unset_deep( &$array, $keys )
{
     $final = array_pop( $keys );

     foreach( $keys as $key )
     {
         $array = &$array[$key];
     }

     unset( $array[$final] );
}

$value = array
(
     'a' => array
     (
         'b' => array
         (
             'c' => 'C',
             'd' => 'D',
             'e' => 'E'
         ),
     ),
);

$keys = array('a', 'b', 'c');
unset_deep( $value, $keys );

print_r( $value );

?>

Cheers,
Rob.
