IcePHP__t_type globals

Ice 3.4.1, PHP 5.3.4

I am attempting to use Ice to implement a control panel in PHP, using an MVC framework (CakePHP). The nature of the framework prevents Ice's globals (IcePHP__t_bool, IcePHP__t_byte, IcePHP__t_short, IcePHP__t_int, IcePHP__t_long, IcePHP__t_float, IcePHP__t_double, IcePHP__t_string) from working. I could do "global $IcePHP__t_type" for each type in every place I want to use them, but that's far from pretty. Why aren't these enscapulated in the $ICE object created by Ice\initialize()?

    Hi Gordon,

    Welcome to the forum.

    Can you explain a bit more about the situation in which these globals aren't available? It will help us to ensure we get the necessary changes included in a future release.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    They are available, if I'm willing to litter a dozen global $IcePHP__t_type;s in every file. What is the rationale for making them global? They're specific to Ice, so they should be part of Ice. Make them members of the object created by Ice\initialize(), and I'll pass it as a parameter of every call to the slice object. Or, the inclusion of a slice could be done by the Ice object ($ICE=Ice\initialize(); $ICE->loadSlice('myslice.php'); or some such), and then the slice object knows that the type objects are members of its parent. Either way is better than having a dozen global statements in each file.

    A simple example, even outside of a framework, with just two pages:
    <?php // filename: a.php
require_once 'Ice_ns.php';
$ICE = Ice\initialize();
require_once 'b.php';
murm();

    <?php // filename: b.php
function murm() {
require_once 'murmur_slice.php';
}

    Output:

    The only way to make it work is to explicitly global $IcePHP__t_type; in every function Ice is used in. Hopefully a near-future version will make these part of the object returned by initialize().

    Mark, actually we've been talking about exactly the same thing as Gordon does. Please, recall our conversation here.

    ...and, if you have a solution, please, share! I'm very, very, very much like the idea of using Ice from PHP on my site!..
