Methods

string
getBaseUrl()

Returns the base URL, which will be standard for all requests made to the Plex machine.

from Plex_MachineAbstract
array
xmlAttributesToArray(SimpleXMLElement $xml, integer $pass = 0)

Typically the useful data returned by a Plex machine will containted in XML attributes. This allows a set of XML nodes to be passed and all the attribues extracted and returned as an associated array.

from Plex_MachineAbstract
array
makeCall(string $url)

Utilizes php-curl to send a request to the passed URL and returns an XML document reprentation of the returned content.

from Plex_MachineAbstract
string

Details

in Plex_MachineAbstract at line 78
protected string getBaseUrl()

Returns the base URL, which will be standard for all requests made to the Plex machine.

Return Value

string The base URL, which will be standard for all requests made to the Plex machine.

in Plex_MachineAbstract at line 102
protected array xmlAttributesToArray(SimpleXMLElement $xml, integer $pass = 0)

Typically the useful data returned by a Plex machine will containted in XML attributes. This allows a set of XML nodes to be passed and all the attribues extracted and returned as an associated array.

Parameters

SimpleXMLElement $xml An XML node to have its attributes converted to a useful PHP array.
integer $pass The number of recursive levels down the method has run. This is mainly used for determining if we are on our first pass or not because the data is picked up slightly differently on the first pass.

Return Value

array An associated array of XML attributes.

in Plex_MachineAbstract at line 149
protected array makeCall(string $url)

Utilizes php-curl to send a request to the passed URL and returns an XML document reprentation of the returned content.

Parameters

string $url The URL to which the request is to be made.

Return Value

array An XML document from a Plex machine converted in array.

Exceptions

Plex_Exception_Machine

in Plex_MachineAbstract at line 196
protected string getCallingFunction(integer $depth = 2)

Universal function so any method belonging to a child class of a Plex machine can discover which function called it. This is used mainly for some of our polymorphic requests as the calling function can tell us what type of item is being requested.

Parameters

integer $depth Depth defaults to 2 because 0 is this function and 1 will be the function that asked for the calling function. This can be changed by the calling function in case a specific calling function needs to be identified. This can be handy if the original calling function goes through a number of hops on its way to identification.

Return Value

string The name of the function that called the function that issued the getCallingFunction request.
