static public object create(mixed $value, string $lang = null, string $datatype = null)

Create a new literal object

PHP values of type bool, int or float, will automatically be converted to the corresponding datatype and PHP sub-class.

If a registered datatype is given, then the registered subclass of EasyRdf_Literal will instantiated.

Note that literals are not required to have a language or datatype. Literals cannot have both a language and a datatype.

Parameters

mixed $value The value of the literal or an associative array
string $lang The natural language of the literal or null (e.g. 'en')
string $datatype The datatype of the literal or null (e.g. 'xsd:integer')

Return Value

object EasyRdfLiteral (or subclass of EasyRdfLiteral)

in EasyRdf_Literal at line 128
static public setDatatypeMapping(string $datatype, string $class)

Register an RDF datatype with a PHP class name

When parsing registered class will be used whenever the datatype is seen.

When serialising a registered class, the mapping will be used to set the datatype in the RDF.

Example: EasyRdfLiteral::registerDatatype('xsd:dateTime', 'MyDateTime_Class');

Parameters

string $datatype The RDF datatype (e.g. xsd:dateTime)
string $class The PHP class name (e.g. MyDateTimeClass)

in EasyRdf_Literal at line 151
static public deleteDatatypeMapping(string $datatype)

Remove the mapping between an RDF datatype and a PHP class name

Parameters

string $datatype The RDF datatype (e.g. xsd:dateTime)

in EasyRdf_Literal at line 176
static public string getDatatypeForValue($value)

Get datatype URI for a PHP value.

This static function is intended for internal use. Given a PHP value, it will return an XSD datatype URI for that value, for example: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer

Parameters

$value

Return Value

string A URI for the datatype of $value.

at line 60
public object __construct(mixed $value = null, string $lang = null, string $datatype = null)

Constructor for creating a new date literal

If the value is a DateTime object, then it will be converted to the xsd:date format. If no value is given or is is null, then the current date is used.

Parameters

mixed $value The value of the literal
string $lang Should be null (literals with a datatype can't have a language)
string $datatype Optional datatype (default 'xsd:date')

Return Value

object EasyRdfLiteralDate
