[PHPLIB-DEV] Oohforms - marshal_dispatch() From: Ulf Wendel (UW <email protected>)
Date: 01/11/00

Hi,

anyone there that can explain me marshal_dispatch() in
oohform.inc?
I know marshal_dispatch() was written to start the elements
validation. Usually it calls self_validate() method of each
element. I just wonder about $$vname. Who needs it?

function marshal_dispatch( $m, $func ) {
  $vname = $this->name; # get the element name
  global $$vname; # defines a new global variable -
but whatfor?
  return $this->$func($$vname) # call self_validate()
}

This code cannot handle element names looking like arrays such as
"customer[surname]". I've no idea why. My marshal_dispatch() does
a good job job for me. How about a change?

function marshal_dispatch( $m, $func ) {
  return $this->$func($this->value));
}

Ulf
