So… I actually have several questions. But I’m following along the Agile Yii book and I came across stuff that isn’t explained.
I know this might be vague but maybe not.
In chapter 6, there’s a Issue Model. We added this function:
public function getStatusText()
{
$statusOptions = $this->statusOptions;
return isset($statusOptions[$this->status_id]) ?
$statusOptions[$this->status_id] : "unknown status ({$this->status_id})";
}
Ok, the confusion is this line:
$statusOptions = $this->statusOptions;
statusOptions is not a class property. It’s just declared in this method and it’s referring to itself? Is that what’s going on? Some how Yii knows that statusOptions is of object Issue Model and it now represent the Issue table. Cause we can access Issue fields and return stuff. Am I getting this right?
Edit:
To Balrok, ah my bad, here’s the code:
<?php
/**
* This is the model class for table "tbl_issue".
*
* The followings are the available columns in table 'tbl_issue':
* @property integer $id
* @property string $name
* @property string $description
* @property integer $project_id
* @property integer $type_id
* @property integer $status_id
* @property integer $owner_id
* @property integer $requester_id
* @property string $create_time
* @property integer $create_user_id
* @property string $update_time
* @property integer $update_user_id
