Implementing the Iterator SPL Interface
In this second part of a series, I make the MySQLi_ResultWrapper class a full implementer of the Iterator SPL interface. Implementing the rest of the methods declared by the interface is a straightforward process that allows us to traverse MySQL result sets by using a plain “foreach” construct.
- As you may know, the Standard PHP Library (commonly know as SPL) provides developers with a powerful set of native classes and interfaces that can be used for easily tackling problems that come up in everyday programming, such as autoloading resources on request, traversing recursively directories...

Building a Data Access Layer for the Data Mapper Design Pattern
In this second part of a five-part series I go one step further in the implementation of the Data Mapper design pattern in PHP 5. Specifically, I build a simple MySQL abstraction class which performs a few common tasks. These include connecting to the database server and running hard-coded queries, fetching database rows and so forth.
- Put in a simple way, the Data Mapper design pattern is an elegant solution that allows developers to keep all of the domain objects handled by an application separate from the underlying persistence layer. This characteristic is commonly known as persistence ignorance. As with many other patterns...

Building a Singleton Database with Restrictive Constructors in PHP 5
In this third installment of a four-part series, I show you that a private constructor can be truly helpful when strictly implementing the Singleton design pattern. In this case, the pattern will be applied within a class that behaves like a simple MySQL abstraction layer, but the same concept can be extended to other classes.
- At first sight, declaring a constructor method protected or private in PHP 5 seems to be a rather irrelevant and even boring topic. The process doesnt differ too much from specifying one of those levels of restriction for a regular class method. However, this first impression may be misleading. ...
