I have a function as:
public function controller_instance($controller_name)
{
$controller = Router::getRequestedController();
return $controller instanceof $controller_name;
}
and I call the function as controller_instance('IndexController').
This is always returning false because variable $controller_name contains string IndexController.
How can I make this work?
Just make new class from that controller string
return $controller instanceof (new $controller_name());
Are you expecting a instance or boolean?
Make a array property in the same class where contains the method controller_instance and store all instances
private $controllers = array();
public function controller_instance($controller_name)
{
if (isset($this->controllers[$controller_name])) {
return $this->controllers[$controller_name];
}
return $this->controllers[$controller_name] = new $controller_name();
}
Exemple 2: using ReflectionClass and arguments
private $controllers = array();
public function controller_instance($controller_name, Array $args = array())
{
if (isset($this->controllers[$controller_name])) {
return $this->controllers[$controller_name];
}
$class = new ReflectionClass($controller_name);
$instance = $class->newInstanceArgs($args);
return $this->controllers[$controller_name] = $instance;
}
Router::getRequestedController()return?
