Building an attributes function without late static binding

[dgruetter]

I am trying to write a more elegant solution to be able to check an object, find only the properties in an object that have values, and update those values in a database with a matching ID.

 

I am extending a class from a generic user class here is an example of my code

 

 

<?php
require_once('User.php');

require_once('Database.php');



class Vendor extends User {


protected static $vendor_attributes = array('id', 'nothing' , 'tagline' , 'bio');
protected static $table_name = "user_vendors";

public $tagline;




















}//close class


?>
