That is exactly what I did in my current version but I wanted a cleaner
method.
In the case you described above I would have to have to modify multiple
sectiosn of code to add a new class type instead of simply adding a new
row to a table that contains the code for a new type. I guess the only
method I can see would be again going by functions but having a prefix
to each say
Fedex.php
Fedex_Detected_EDI_Type()
Fedex_Parse_EDI_File();
Fedex_Create_Remittance()
DHL.php
DHL_Detected_EDI_Type()
DHL_Parse_EDI_File()
DHL_Create_Remittance()
while (odbc_fetch_row($result) || $done) {
$function = odbc_result($result, "name") . "_Detected_EDI_Type";
if ($function()) {
// Detected edi file format
// do something....
$done = true;
}
}
With this method I can create a table that contains the source code
filename
and the leading characters into the function name so that each name is
unique
Now to add a new type I simply add a new record ot the table rather
than adding a new case "formatX": instance in the detcting/pasing and
creating remittance sections
which allows me to isolate the code from the user yet allow them to
create code for new file types
While this method will work I was looking for a way to keep the
function names identically instead of having a leading unique string +
function name (Fedex or DHL) _Detected_EDI_Type
Basically I was looking for the ability to include "code.php" and then
somehow uninclude it after I used it.
