I'm modelling a login page using different schemas (basic username & password combination and another schema using a Yubikey, for now).
My controller looks like this:
namespace Document {
/**
* get the current authentication schema
*/
$schema = \Modules\Backend\Authentication::getSchema();
/**
* initialize the template data
*/
if (empty($data)) {
$data = [];
}
/**
* include the document content block
*/
$data = array_merge_recursive($data, [
"document" => [
"sections" => [
/* further content goes here */
]
]
]);
/**
* include the authentication schema content block
*/
if (file_exists($schema = "{$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]}/pages/controllers/backend/login/{$schema}.php")) {
include_once($schema);
}
/**
* output the document content
*/
echo \Helpers\Templates::getTemplate("backend/pages/login", $data);
/**
* free all used resources
*/
unset($data, $schema);
}
The authentication schema looks like this:
/**
* include the document content block
*/
$data = array_merge_recursive(!empty($data) ? $data : [], [
"document" => [
"sections" => [
"schema" => [
"content" => [
"token" => \Helpers\Strings::getToken(),
/* rest of content block goes here */
],
"strings" => [
"title" => _("This is a sample string"),
/* rest of translation strings block goes here */
]
]
]
]
]);
The problem I have is include_once()
is not working for me, as the $data
variable isn't really seen neither by the authentication schema nor the opposite (the document namespace seeing any content coming from the authentication schema on inclusion).
However, if I use include()
it works. Maybe the problem lies within the use of a namespace and including external content. I never use the include()
function as I always like to check if the script is already included, even if it has bit of a performance penalty for the extra check.
Maybe I'm not fully understanding how namespaces work in PHP or I did something weird with the array_merge_recursive()
function, but the more I look at the code, the less I find about something potentially wrong and I feel a bit lost.
Can anyone help me figuring this?
