Class FunctionExpression

__construct()source public

__construct( string $name , array $params [] , array $types [] , string $returnType 'string' )

Constructor. Takes a name for the function to be invoked and a list of params to be passed into the function. Optionally you can pass a list of types to be used for each bound param.

By default, all params that are passed will be quoted. If you wish to use literal arguments, you need to explicitly hint this function.

Examples:

$f = new FunctionExpression('CONCAT', ['CakePHP', ' rules']);

Previous line will generate CONCAT('CakePHP', ' rules')

$f = new FunctionExpression('CONCAT', ['name' => 'literal', ' rules']);

Will produce CONCAT(name, ' rules')

Parameters

string $name

the name of the function to be constructed

array $params optional []

list of arguments to be passed to the function If associative the key would be used as argument when value is 'literal'

array $types optional []

associative array of types to be associated with the passed arguments

string $returnType optional 'string'

The return type of this expression

Overrides
