◆ debugging()

debugging ( $message = '',
$level = DEBUG_NORMAL,
$backtrace = null )

Standard Debugging Function.

Returns true if the current site debugging settings are equal or above specified level. If passed a parameter it will emit a debugging notice similar to trigger_error(). The routing of notices is controlled by $CFG->debugdisplay eg use like this:

1) debugging('a normal debug notice'); 2) debugging('something really picky', DEBUG_ALL); 3) debugging('annoying debug message only for developers', DEBUG_DEVELOPER); 4) if (debugging()) { perform extra debugging operations (do not use print or echo) }

In code blocks controlled by debugging() (such as example 4) any output should be routed via debugging() itself, or the lower-level trigger_error() or error_log(). Using echo or print will break XHTML JS and HTTP headers.

It is also possible to define NO_DEBUG_DISPLAY which redirects the message to error_log.

Parameters
string$messagea message to print
int$levelthe level at which this debugging statement should show
array$backtraceuse different backtrace
Return values
bool

◆ decompose_update_into_safe_changes()

decompose_update_into_safe_changes ( array $newvalues,
$unusedvalue )

Helper used by update_field_with_unique_index().

Given a desired set of changes, break them down into single udpates that can be done one at a time without breaking any unique index constraints.

Suppose the input is array(1 => 2, 2 => 1) and -1. Then the output will be array (array(1, -1), array(2, 1), array(-1, 2)). This function solves this problem in the general case, not just for simple swaps. The unit tests give more examples.

Note that, it is the responsibility of the caller to make sure that the requested rename is legal. For example, if you ask for something impossible like array(1 => 2, 2 => 2) then the results are undefined. (You will probably get a unique key violation error from the database later.)

Parameters

◆ get_course_and_cm_from_cmid()

get_course_and_cm_from_cmid ( $cmorid,
$modulename = '',
$courseorid = 0,
$userid = 0 )

Efficiently retrieves the $course (stdclass) and $cm (cm_info) objects, given a cmid.

If module name is also provided, it will ensure the cm is of that type.

Usage: list($course, $cm) = get_course_and_cm_from_cmid($cmid, 'forum');

Using this method has a performance advantage because it works by loading modinfo for the course - which will then be cached and it is needed later in most requests. It also guarantees that the $cm object is a cm_info and not a stdclass.

The $course object can be supplied if already known and will speed up this function - although it is more efficient to use this function to get the course if you are starting from a cmid.

To avoid security problems and obscure bugs, you should always specify $modulename if the cmid value came from user input.

By default this obtains information (for example, whether user can access the activity) for current user, but you can specify a userid if required.

Parameters
stdClass | int$cmoridId of course-module, or database object
string$modulenameOptional modulename (improves security)
stdClass | int$courseoridOptional course object if already loaded
int$useridOptional userid (default = current)
Return values
arrayArray with 2 elements $course and $cm
Exceptions
moodle_exceptionIf the item doesn't exist or is of wrong module name

◆ get_course_and_cm_from_instance()

get_course_and_cm_from_instance ( $instanceorid,
$modulename,
$courseorid = 0,
$userid = 0 )

Efficiently retrieves the $course (stdclass) and $cm (cm_info) objects, given an instance id or record and module name.

Usage: list($course, $cm) = get_course_and_cm_from_instance($forum, 'forum');

Using this method has a performance advantage because it works by loading modinfo for the course - which will then be cached and it is needed later in most requests. It also guarantees that the $cm object is a cm_info and not a stdclass.

The $course object can be supplied if already known and will speed up this function - although it is more efficient to use this function to get the course if you are starting from an instance id.

By default this obtains information (for example, whether user can access the activity) for current user, but you can specify a userid if required.

Parameters
stdclass | int$instanceoridId of module instance, or database object
string$modulenameModulename (required)
stdClass | int$courseoridOptional course object if already loaded
int$useridOptional userid (default = current)
Return values

◆ get_courses() [1/2]

core_course_category::get_courses ( $options = array())

Retrieves the list of courses accessible by user.

was called with option 'summary'.

Not all information is cached, try to avoid calling this method twice in the same request.

The following fields are always retrieved:

  • id, visible, fullname, shortname, idnumber, category, sortorder

If you plan to use properties/methods core_course_list_element\$summary and/or core_course_list_element\get_course_contacts() you can preload this information using appropriate 'options'. Otherwise they will be retrieved from DB on demand and it may end with bigger DB load.

Note that method core_course_list_element\has_summary() will not perform additional DB queries even if $options['summary'] is not specified

List of found course ids is cached for 10 minutes. Cache may be purged prior to this when somebody edits courses or categories, however it is very difficult to keep track of all possible changes that may affect list of courses.

Parameters
array$optionsoptions for retrieving children
  • recursive - return courses from subcategories as well. Use with care, this may be a huge list!
  • summary - preloads fields 'summary' and 'summaryformat'
  • coursecontacts - preloads course contacts
  • sort - list of fields to sort. Example array('idnumber' => 1, 'shortname' => 1, 'id' => -1) will sort by idnumber asc, shortname asc and id desc. Default: array('sortorder' => 1) Only cached fields may be used for sorting!
  • offset
  • limit - maximum number of children to return, 0 or null for no limit
  • idonly - returns the array or course ids instead of array of objects used only in get_courses_count()
Return values
core_course_list_element[]

Otherwise will be retrieved from DB on first request

◆ get_courses() [2/2]

object get_courses ( $categoryid = "all",
$sort = "c.sortorder ASC",
$fields = "c.*" )

Returns list of courses, for whole site, or category.

Returns list of courses, for whole site, or category Important: Using c.* for fields is extremely expensive because we are using distinct. You almost NEVER need all the fields in such a large SELECT

Consider using core_course_category\get_courses() or core_course_category\search_courses() instead since they use caching.

@global object @global object @uses CONTEXT_COURSE

Parameters

◆ get_docs_url()

get_docs_url ( $path = null)

Returns the Moodle Docs URL in the users language for a given 'More help' link.

There are three cases:

  1. In the normal case, $path will be a short relative path 'component/thing', like 'mod/folder/view' 'group/import'. This gets turned into an link to MoodleDocs in the user's language, and for the appropriate Moodle version. E.g. 'group/import' may become 'http://docs.moodle.org/2x/en/group/import'. The 'http://docs.moodle.org' bit comes from $CFG->docroot.

This is the only option that should be used in standard Moodle code. The other two options have been implemented because they are useful for third-party plugins.

  1. $path may be an absolute URL, starting http:// or https://. In this case, the link is used as is.
  2. $path may start %WWWROOT%%, in which case that is replaced by $CFG->wwwroot to make the link.
Parameters

This allows safe user specified sorting (ORDER BY), by abstracting the SQL from the value being requested by the user. A standard string (and optional direction) can be specified, which will be mapped to a predefined allow list of SQL ordering. The mapping can optionally include a 'default', which will be used if the key provided is invalid.

Example usage: -If $orderbymap = [ 'courseid' => 'c.id', 'somecustomvalue'=> 'c.startdate, c.shortname', 'default' => 'c.fullname', ] -A value from the map array's keys can be passed in by a user interaction (eg web service) along with an optional direction. -get_safe_orderby($orderbymap, 'courseid', 'DESC') would return: ORDER BY c.id DESC -get_safe_orderby($orderbymap, 'somecustomvalue') would return: ORDER BY c.startdate, c.shortname -get_safe_orderby($orderbymap, 'invalidblah', 'DESC') would return: ORDER BY c.fullname DESC -If no default key was specified in $orderbymap, the invalidblah example above would return empty string.

Parameters
array$orderbymapAn array in the format [keystring => sqlstring]. A default fallback can be set with the key 'default'.
string$orderbykeyA string to be mapped to a key in $orderbymap.
string$directionOptional ORDER BY direction (ASC/DESC, case insensitive).
bool$useprefixWhether ORDER BY is prefixed to the output (true by default). This should not be modified in most cases. It is included to enable get_safe_orderby_multiple() to use this function multiple times.
Return values
stringThe ORDER BY statement, or empty string if $orderbykey is invalid and no default is mapped.

◆ get_safe_orderby_multiple()

get_safe_orderby_multiple ( array $orderbymap,
array $orderbykeys,
array $directions = [] )

Prepare a safe ORDER BY statement from user interactable requests using multiple values.

This allows safe user specified sorting (ORDER BY) similar to get_safe_orderby(), but supports multiple keys and directions. This is useful in cases where combinations of columns are needed and/or each item requires a specified direction (ASC/DESC). The mapping can optionally include a 'default', which will be used if the key provided is invalid.

Example usage: -If $orderbymap = [ 'courseid' => 'c.id', 'fullname'=> 'c.fullname', 'default' => 'c.startdate', ] -An array of values from the map's keys can be passed in by a user interaction (eg web service), with optional directions. -get_safe_orderby($orderbymap, ['courseid', 'fullname'], ['DESC', 'ASC']) would return: ORDER BY c.id DESC, c.fullname ASC -get_safe_orderby($orderbymap, ['courseid', 'invalidblah'], ['aaa', 'DESC']) would return: ORDER BY c.id, c.startdate DESC -If no default key was specified in $orderbymap, the invalidblah example above would return: ORDER BY c.id

Parameters
array$orderbymapAn array in the format [keystring => sqlstring]. A default fallback can be set with the key 'default'.
array$orderbykeysAn array of strings to be mapped to keys in $orderbymap.
array$directionsOptional array of ORDER BY direction (ASC/DESC, case insensitive). The array keys should match array keys in $orderbykeys.
Return values
stringThe ORDER BY statement, or empty string if $orderbykeys contains no valid items and no default is mapped.

objectA $COURSE object for the site, exception if not found

◆ get_site_identifier()

get_site_identifier ( )

Returns the site identifier.

Return values
string\$CFG-,>siteidentifier,firstmaking sure it is properly initialised.

◆ get_string()

get_string ( $identifier,
$component = '',
$a = null,
$lazyload = false )

Returns a localized string.

Returns the translated string specified by $identifier as for $module. Uses the same format files as STphp. $a is an object, string or number that can be used within translation strings

eg 'hello {$a->firstname} {$a->lastname}' or 'hello {$a}'

If you would like to directly echo the localized string use the function print_string()

Example usage of this function involves finding the string you would like a local equivalent of and using its identifier and module information to retrieve it.
If you open moodle/lang/en/moodle.php and look near line 278 you will find a string to prompt a user for their word for 'course' $string['course'] = 'Course'; So if you want to display the string 'Course' in any language that supports it on your site you just need to use the identifier 'course' $mystring = ''. get_string('course') .''; or If the string you want is in another file you'd take a slightly different approach. Looking in moodle/lang/en/calendar.php you find around line 75: $string['typecourse'] = 'Course event'; If you want to display the string "Course event" in any language supported you would use the identifier 'typecourse' and the module 'calendar' (because it is in the file calendar.php): $mystring = '

'. get_string('typecourse', 'calendar') .'

';

As a last resort, should the identifier fail to map to a string the returned string will be [[ $identifier ]]

In Moodle 2.3 there is a new argument to this function $lazyload. Setting $lazyload to true causes get_string to return a lang_string object rather than the string itself. The fetching of the string is then put off until the string object is first used. The object can be used by calling it's out method or by casting the object to a string, either directly e.g. (string)$stringobject or indirectly by using the string within another string or echoing it out e.g. echo $stringobject return "<p>{$stringobject}</p>"; It is worth noting that using $lazyload and attempting to use the string as an array key will cause a fatal error as objects cannot be used as array keys. But you should never do that anyway! For more information lang_string

Parameters
string$identifierThe key identifier for the localized string
string$componentThe module where the key identifier is stored, usually expressed as the filename in the language pack without the .php on the end but can also be written as mod/forum or grade/export/xls. If none is specified then moodle.php is used.
string | object | array | int$aAn object, string or number that can be used within translation strings
bool$lazyloadIf set to true a string object is returned instead of the string itself. The string then isn't calculated until it is first used.
Return values
stringThe localized string.

coding_exception

◆ question_remove_stale_questions_from_category()

question_remove_stale_questions_from_category ( $categoryid)

Remove stale questions from a category.

While questions should not be left behind when they are not used any more, it does happen, maybe via restore, or old logic, or uncovered scenarios. When this happens, the users are unable to delete the question category unless they move those stale questions to another one category, but to them the category is empty as it does not contain anything. The purpose of this function is to detect the questions that may have gone stale and remove them.

You will typically use this prior to checking if the category contains questions.

The stale questions (unused and hidden to the user) handled are:

  • hidden questions
  • random questions
Parameters

◆ update_field_with_unique_index()

update_field_with_unique_index ( $table,
$field,
array $newvalues,
array $otherconditions,
$unusedvalue = -1 )

This method can update the values in mulitple database rows for a colum with a unique index, without violating that constraint.

Suppose we have a table with a unique index on (otherid, sortorder), and for a particular value of otherid, we want to change all the sort orders. You have to do this carefully or you will violate the unique index at some time. This method takes care of the details for you.

Note that, it is the responsibility of the caller to make sure that the requested rename is legal. For example, if you ask for [1 => 2, 2 => 2] then you will get a unique key violation error from the database.

Parameters
string$tableThe database table to modify.
string$fieldthe field that contains the values we are going to change.
array$newvaluesoldvalue => newvalue how to change the values. E.g. [1 => 4, 2 => 1, 3 => 3, 4 => 2].

  2. The existing hash is using an out-of-date algorithm (or the legacy md5 algorithm).

Updating the password will modify the $user object and the database record to use the current hashing algorithm. It will remove Web Services user tokens too.

Parameters
stdClass$userUser object (password property may be updated).
string$passwordPlain text password.
bool$fasthashIf true, use a low cost factor when generating the hash This is much faster to generate but makes the hash less secure. It is used when lots of hashes need to be generated quickly.
Return values
boolAlways returns true.

◆ users_order_by_sql()

users_order_by_sql ( string $usertablealias = '',
string $search = null,
context $context = null,
array $customfieldmappings = [] )

This function generates the standard ORDER BY clause for use when generating lists of users.

If you don't have a reason to use a different order, then you should use this method to generate the order when displaying lists of users.

If the optional $search parameter is passed, then exact matches to the search will be sorted first. For example, suppose you have two users 'Al Zebra' and 'Alan Aardvark'. The default sort is Alan, then Al. If, however, you search for 'Al', then Al will be listed first. (With two users, this is not a big deal, but with thousands of users, it is essential.)

The list of fields scanned for exact matches are:

If named parameters are used (which is the default, and highly recommended), then the parameter names are like :usersortexactN, where N is an int.

The simplest possible example use is: list($sort, $params) = users_order_by_sql(); $sql = 'SELECT * FROM {users} ORDER BY ' . $sort;

A more complex example, showing that this sort can be combined with other sorts: list($sort, $sortparams) = users_order_by_sql('u'); $sql = "SELECT g.id AS groupid, gg.groupingid, u.id AS userid, u.firstname, u.lastname, u.idnumber, u.username FROM {groups} g LEFT JOIN {groupings_groups} gg ON g.id = gg.groupid LEFT JOIN {groups_members} gm ON g.id = gm.groupid LEFT JOIN {user} u ON gm.userid = u.id WHERE g.courseid = :courseid $groupwhere $groupingwhere ORDER BY g.name, $sort"; $params += $sortparams;

An example showing the use of $search: list($sort, $sortparams) = users_order_by_sql('u', $search, $this->get_context()); $order = ' ORDER BY ' . $sort; $params += $sortparams; $availableusers = $DB->get_records_sql($fields . $sql . $order, $params, $page*$perpage, $perpage);

Parameters
string$usertablealias(optional) any table prefix for the {users} table. E.g. 'u'.
string$search(optional) a current search string. If given, any exact matches to this string will be sorted first.
context | null$contextthe context we are in. Used by core_user\fields\get_identity_fields. Defaults to $PAGE->context.
array$customfieldmappingsassociative array of mappings for custom fields returned by core_user\fields\get_sql.
Return values
arraywith two elements: string SQL fragment to use in the ORDER BY clause. For example, "firstname, lastname". array of parameters used in the SQL fragment. If $search is not given, this is guaranteed to be an empty array.

◆ users_search_sql()

users_search_sql ( string $search,
string $u = 'u',
bool $searchanywhere = true,
array $extrafields = [],
array $exclude = null,
array $includeonly = null )

Returns SQL used to search through user table to find users (in a query which may also join and apply other conditions).

You can combine this SQL with an existing query by adding 'AND $sql' to the WHERE clause of your query (where $sql is the first element in the array returned by this function), and merging in the $params array to the parameters of your query (where $params is the second element). Your query should use named parameters such as :param, rather than the question mark style.

There are examples of basic usage in the unit test for this function.

Parameters
string$searchthe text to search for (empty string = find all)
string$uthe table alias for the user table in the query being built. May be ''.
bool$searchanywhereIf true (default), searches in the middle of names, otherwise only searches at start
array$extrafieldsArray of extra user fields to include in search, must be prefixed with table alias if they are not in the user table.
array$excludeArray of user ids to exclude (empty = don't exclude)
array$includeonlyIf specified, only returns users that have ids incldued in this array (empty = don't restrict)
Return values
arrayan array with two elements, a fragment of SQL to go in the where clause the query, and an associative array containing any required parameters (using named placeholders).

◆ usertime()

usertime ( $date,
$timezone = 99 )

◆ moodle_read_slave_trait

trait moodle_read_slave_trait
Initial value:
{
protected resource $dbhwrite

Trait to wrap connect() method of database driver classes that gives ability to use read only slave instances for SELECT queries.

For the databases that support replication and read only connections to the slave. If the slave connection is configured there will be two database handles created, one for the master and another one for the slave. If there's no slave specified everything uses master handle.

Classes that use this trait need to rename existing connect() method to raw_connect(). In addition, they need to provide get_db_handle() and set_db_handle() methods, due to dbhandle attributes not being named consistently across the database driver classes.

Read only slave connection is configured in the $CFG->dboptions['readonly'] array.

  • It supports multiple 'instance' entries, in case one is not accessible, but only one (first connectable) instance is used.
  • 'latency' option: master -> slave sync latency in seconds (will probably be a fraction of a second). A table being written to is deemed fully synced after that period and suitable for slave read. Defaults to 1 sec.
  • 'exclude_tables' option: a list of tables that never go to the slave for querying. The feature is meant to be used in emergency only, so the readonly feature can still be used in case there is a rogue query that does not go through the standard dml interface or some other unaccounted situation. It should not be used under normal circumstances, and its use indicates a problem in the system that needs addressig.

Choice of the database handle is based on following:

  • SQL_QUERY_INSERT, UPDATE and STRUCTURE record table from the query in the $written array and microtime() the event. For those queries master write handle is used.
  • SQL_QUERY_AUX queries will always use the master write handle because they are used for transaction start/end, locking etc. In that respect, query_start() and query_end() must not be used during the connection phase.
  • SQL_QUERY_AUX_READONLY queries will use the master write handle if in a transaction.
  • SELECT queries will use the master write handle if: – any of the tables involved is a temp table – any of the tables involved is listed in the 'exclude_tables' option – any of the tables involved is in the $written array:
    • current microtime() is compared to the write microrime, and if more than latency time has passed the slave handle is used
    • otherwise (not enough time passed) we choose the master write handle If none of the above conditions are met the slave instance is used.

A 'latency' example:

  • we have set $CFG->dboptions['readonly']['latency'] to 0.2.
  • a SQL_QUERY_UPDATE to table tbl_x happens, and it is recorded in the $written array
  • 0.15 seconds later SQL_QUERY_SELECT with tbl_x is requested - the master connection is used
  • 0.10 seconds later (0.25 seconds after SQL_QUERY_UPDATE) another SQL_QUERY_SELECT with tbl_x is requested - this time more than 0.2 secs has gone and master -> slave sync is assumed, so the slave connection is used again
