Resetting a Library for reuse - El Forum - 04-24-2008

I'm trying to use the RSSparser library with 3 rss feeds, each needs to be loaded up and put into a html page.

The outputed values seems to be that which ever feed is called first.

Any idea on if i can reset the library after each use?

Code:
$id = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);

        $archive = $this->Archive->get_archive($id);

        $template = $this->Template->get_template($archive['template']);

        $templatename = $template['filename'];

        $feed = "./assets/" . $id . "/master.xml";

        $feedb  = "./assets/" . $id . "/feedb.xml";

        $feedc  = "./assets/" . $id . "/feedc.xml";

        $date = date('d-m-y');    

        $this->load->library('RSSParser', array('url' => $feed, 'life' => 0));

        $data['master'] = $this->rssparser->getFeed(50);

        $this->load->library('RSSParser', array('url' => $feedb, 'life' => 0));

        $data['feedb'] = $this->rssparser->getFeed(50);

        $this->load->library('RSSParser', array('url' => $feedc, 'life' => 0));

        $data['feedc'] = $this->rssparser->getFeed(50);

        $this->load->view('templates/' . $templatename, $data);

The more elegant way to do this is just use instances of the object. In CI this would look like
<php>
$id = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);
$archive = $this->Archive->get_archive($id);
$template = $this->Template->get_template($archive['template']);
$templatename = $template['filename'];

$feed = "./assets/" . $id . "/master.xml";
$feedb = "./assets/" . $id . "/feedb.xml";
$feedc = "./assets/" . $id . "/feedc.xml";

$date = date('d-m-y');

$this->load->library('RSSParser', array('url' => $feed, 'life' => 0));

$data['master'] = $this->rssparser->getFeed(50);

$data['feedb']=new RSSParser(array('url' => $feedb, 'life' => 0));

$data['feedb'] = $data['feedb']->getFeed(50);

$data['feedc']=new RSSParser(array('url' => $feedc, 'life' => 0));

$data['feedc'] = $data['feedc']->getFeed(50);

$this->load->view('templates/' . $templatename, $data);
</php>
Something like this

Going to sound like th FNG but I just tried what you suggested and some variations and I get

Code:
Message: Undefined property: RSSParser::$RSSParser

I assume this is because it isnt working as an instance.

Suggestions welcome.

Instead of loading the library several times, which doesn't work because it will be loaded only once, you should add a initialize method to your library like the File uploading library
