Dynamic OOP – Social Network Beispiel

Defining only base classes and stack them togeher to get a complete dynamic class object with class inheritance and so on…

In this example its about a social network, defining family and frieds and everyone someone knows as a class element with own name and handle basing on more or less the same class.

<?PHP
class Human{
    private $name;
    private $birthday;
    private $sex;
    private $mother;
    private $father;
    private $siblings = array();
    private $partner;
    private $children = array();
    private $hobbies = array();
    private $history = array();

    public function __construct($name){
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function addChildren($val){$this->children[] = $val;}
    public function addSiblings($val){$this->siblings[] = $val;}

    public function __desctruct(){}
    public function __set($var,$val){

    }

    public function getGrandParents(){ 
        // $this->mother->mother
        // $this->mother->father
        // $this->father->mother

    private $name;

    public function __construct($name){

    }
}

    public function __construct($description){

class Sex{
    public $male = "male";
    public $female = "female";
}

$humans = array("Mike", "Jess", "Hans", "Susi", "Moni");
$sex = new Sex();

// create humans >:)
foreach($humans as $human){
    $$human = new Human($human);
}

// create planned humans 😉
$Aby = new NoExistentHuman("Aby");

// link them together
$Mike->birthday = "20.10.1983";
$Mike->sex = $sex->male; 
$Mike->partner = $Jess;
$Mike->mother = $Susi;
$Mike->father = $Hans;
$Mike->addChildren($Aby);
$Mike->addSiblings($Moni);
$Mike->addHobbies(new Hobby("Programming"));
$Mike->addHistory(new History("Lott Autoteile GmbH"));

Debug::dump($Mike, "Mikes Information");
// class from http://codeaid.net/php/improved-var_dump%28%29-with-colored-output
?>

and the output or “storage data” looks like this:
