Detailed Description

Member Function Documentation

◆ call_external_function()

static external_api::call_external_function ( $function,
$args,
$ajaxonly = false )
staticinherited

Call an external function validating all params/returns correctly.

Note that an external function may modify the state of the current page, so this wrapper saves and restores tha PAGE and COURSE global variables before/after calling the external function.

Parameters
string$functionA webservice function name.
array$argsParams array (named params)
boolean$ajaxonlyIf true, an extra check will be peformed to see if ajax is required.
Return values
arraycontaining keys for error (bool), exception and data.

◆ clean_returnvalue()

static external_api::clean_returnvalue ( external_description $description,
$response )
staticinherited

Clean response If a response attribute is unknown from the description, we just ignore the attribute.

If a response attribute is incorrect, invalid_response_exception is thrown. Note: this function is similar to validate parameters, however it is distinct because parameters validation must be distinct from cleaning return values.

Parameters
external_description$descriptiondescription of the return values
mixed$responsethe actual response
Return values
mixedresponse with added defaults for optional items, invalid_response_exception thrown if any problem found
