Update 1: Porting code examples to Phalanger 3 - syntax changes on namespace use.
Continue with the Basics by Example; today's version of the post written in Phalanger (PHP) Enjoy!
You can copy and paste the code below in your favorite IDE/Editor and start playing and learning with it. This little "working" program will teach you the basics of the Programming Language.
There are some "comments" on the code added just to tell you what are or how are some features called. In case you want to review the theory, you can read my previous post, where I give a definition of each of the concepts mentioned on the code. You can find it here: http://carlosqt.blogspot.com/2010/08/new-series-languages-basics-by-example.html

And the Output is:
Emulating Overloaded Constructor in Phalanger (PHP)
PHP and Phalanger do not support Overloading Constructors (at least not so far, in the version I'm using), but there is another way you can "emulate" that by creating one constructor with all parameters you need, but assigning a default value to them and then, validating that if you provide those parameters, you use them, otherwise, default init values will be use as shown here below.
<?
class Greet
{ # Fields or Attributes
private $message;
private $name;
private $loopMessage;
# Constructor
function __construct($message=false, $name=false, $loopMessage=false)
{
# Use Constructor parameter only if it is was supplied if not use default
if($message)
$this->message = $message;
else
$this->message = "bye";
if($name)
$this->name = $name;
else
$this->name = "carlos";
if($loopMessage)
$this->loopMessage = $loopMessage;
else
$this->loopMessage = 0;
}
// Method 2
function Salute()
{
echo "{$this->loopMessage} {$this->message} {$this->name}!\n";
}
}
// Console Program
class Program
{
static function Main()
{
// Call Constructor using Defaults
$g = new Greet();
$g->Salute();
// Call Constructor using Parameters
$g = new Greet("hello", "world", 5);
$g->Salute();
// Stop and exit
echo "Press any key to exit...";
fgets(STDIN);
}
}
?>
And the Output is:
i see this article on Phalanger - Basics by Example. it's very interesing for me. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletehow to install and setup with ubuntu ?

DeleteHi weboceanbiz,
DeleteLook at phalanger site for that. There is a page with the config info for mono.
http://www.php-compiler.net/blog/2012/phalanger-php-mono#more-637
Look at: Installing Phalanger on Linux
If that doesn't help, post the question on phalanger's blog or facebook.
