Hi,
I have some problems with tasks under oil.
I have to collect some files (.xml) from a folder, parse them, take the informations, insert them in a mysql database, and then move the files in an archive folder.
If I do it through the browser, it works perfect, but I need to do this through oil.
So, here is my code :
<code>
<?php
namespace Fuel\Tasks;
class Trigger
{
public static function run()
{
//read all the XML files (only XML type)
$opta_files = \File::read_dir( DOCROOT.'public/opta_archive', 0, array( '\.xml$' => 'file') );
if(isset($opta_files[0]))
{
foreach ($opta_files as $opta_file)
{
$file_name = basename($opta_file);
$count = 1;
while( file_exists(DOCROOT.'public/tmp_fantomic'.DS.date('YmdHms') . '_' . $count .'_'. $file_name) )
{
$count++;
}
\File::rename(DOCROOT.'public/opta_archive'.DS.$file_name ,
DOCROOT.'public/tmp_fantomic'.DS.date('YmdHms') . '_' . $count .'_'. $file_name);
}
//run a method (placed also inside the task file)
\Response::redirect('trigger/run_method');
}
public static function run_method()
{
//read all the XML files (only XML type)
$tmp_files = \File::read_dir( DOCROOT.'public/tmp_fantomic', 0, array( '\.xml$' => 'file') );
if(isset($tmp_files[0]))
{
foreach ($tmp_files as $tmp_file)
{
$file_name = basename($tmp_file, '.xml');
\Session::set('tmp_file', $tmp_file); //doesn't work
//explode the name of the file
$pieces = explode("-", $file_name);
switch (end($pieces))
{
case 'matchresults':
/* How can i trigger a method and also pass a variable
* Method name is : parse_match_events,
* I want to pass this variable : $tmp_file
*/
$this->parse_venues($tmp_file); //DOESN'T WORK
break;
}
}
}
}
public static function parse_venues($tmp_file)
{
echo $tmp_file;
}
}
</code>
My question is:
After i trigger the method <quote>run_method</quote>, inside i execute some code, and then I have to trigger another method (named <quote>parse_venues</quote>, but to pass also a variable. Ho can I do that through oil ???
I was trying to set a Session variable, to hold the value I want to pass it, but when I read the Session isn't inside
\Session::set('tmp_file', $tmp_file); >>> doesn't work
Please help me, because I really don't know how to do it !
Thanks.
You're running a commandline PHP script, so there is no browser. Which means that things like Sessions, Reponses, redirects, etc, don't work.
I don't see why calling another method in your class won't work. Altough you call it using $this while in a static context, so $this does not exist (there is no object). Use 'static::parse_venues($var)' instead.
A task only has a single run method. If your task has multiple functions that need to be called individually from the commandline, you have to use parameters. Check core/tasks/session.php for an example on how that is done.
This is exactly what I need to know : 'static::parse_venues($var)'
I didn't know hot to trigger another method from inside the run() method,
and also to pass a value, to the new triggered method, in order to use it inside.
Many thanks for your complete answer and also for the good response time.
