my registrar is changing API and I am trying to automate my DDNS file.

Via the API I can authorize and get all my domain data:

Array
(
[0] => Transip\Api\Library\Entity\Domain Object
    (
        [name:protected] => myfirstdomain.org
        [authCode:protected] => xxxxxxxxxxxx
        [isTransferLocked:protected] => 
        [registrationDate:protected] => 2020-01-17
        [renewalDate:protected] => 2022-01-17
        [isWhitelabel:protected] => 
        [cancellationDate:protected] => 
        [cancellationStatus:protected] => 
        [isDnsOnly:protected] => 
        [hasAutoDns:protected] => 
        [tags:protected] => Array
            (
            )

    )

[1] => Transip\Api\Library\Entity\Domain Object
    (
        [name:protected] => myseconddomain.org
        [authCode:protected] => xxxxxxxxxx
        [isTransferLocked:protected] => 
        [registrationDate:protected] => 2009-03-22
        [renewalDate:protected] => 2022-03-22
        [isWhitelabel:protected] => 
        [cancellationDate:protected] => 
        [cancellationStatus:protected] => 
        [isDnsOnly:protected] => 
        [hasAutoDns:protected] => 
        [tags:protected] => Array
            (
            )

    )

[2] => Transip\Api\Library\Entity\Domain Object
    (
        [name:protected] => mythirddomain.org
        [authCode:protected] => xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        [isTransferLocked:protected] => 
        [registrationDate:protected] => 2011-09-17
        [renewalDate:protected] => 2022-09-17
        [isWhitelabel:protected] => 
        [cancellationDate:protected] => 
        [cancellationStatus:protected] => 
        [isDnsOnly:protected] => 
        [hasAutoDns:protected] => 
        [tags:protected] => Array
            (
            )

    )

)

Now I want to just extract the domain names to use in a update script. Unfortunatly I can't seem to manage it:

//get all domain information
$domains = $api->domains()->getAll();
//this pulls all the first domain data
$firstDomain = $domains[0];
//Trying to strip the [name] value
$firstDomainName = $firstDomain->name;

The last line unfortunately kicks a error

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Cannot access protected property Transip\Api\Library\Entity\Domain::$name in /myserver/websitefolder/Check.php:22

If I json_encode $domains:

[{"name":"myfirstdomain.org","authCode":"xxxxxxxxxx","isTransferLocked":false,"registrationDate":"2020-01-17","renewalDate":"2022-01-17","isWhitelabel":false,"cancellationDate":"","cancellationStatus":"","isDnsOnly":false,"hasAutoDns":false,"tags":[]},{"name":"myseconddomain.org","authCode":"xxxxxxxxxx","isTransferLocked":false,"registrationDate":"2009-03-22","renewalDate":"2022-03-22","isWhitelabel":false,"cancellationDate":"","cancellationStatus":"","isDnsOnly":false,"hasAutoDns":false,"tags":[]},{"name":"mythirddomain.org","authCode":"xxxxxxxxxxxxx","isTransferLocked":false,"registrationDate":"2011-09-17","renewalDate":"2022-09-17","isWhitelabel":false,"cancellationDate":"","cancellationStatus":"","isDnsOnly":false,"hasAutoDns":false,"tags":[]}]

PHP doesn't like directly accessing protected values, instead you use the "getter" method. Conversely, if you want to set the value of a protected field you use the "setter" method. It was a lucky (but informed) guess on my part that the getter method for the "name" field was getName(). You can check the class definition to see which methods are available to you.

Honestly I can't say for sure when exactly you should enforce using getter/setter methods over allowing direct access to elements when defining your own class, but I am certain that using the search terms "getter setter method" will show up some helpful information.

CodePudding user response：

Look at the class definition of Transip\Api\Library\Entity\Domain Object. It should have a method to allow you access to the domain name. The field name is protected so it's not accessible to you unless you are extending the class.

Now that the solution to pull the name is there the solution is:

<?php

/**
* A script to update all the @ entries in my registrar
*/

require_once (__DIR__ . '/Authenticate.php');

//get all domain information
$domains = $api->domains()->getAll();

//get the current IP address
$ipAddress = file_get_contents('http://ipecho.net/plain');

//set the counter to 0 for first responds
$i = 0;
foreach ($domains as &$value){
   $domain = $domains[$i];
   $domainName = $domain->getName();
   $i = $i   1;
   echo $domainName;

   // Get the DNS for the current Domain
   $domainDns = $api->DomainDns()->getByDomainName($domainName);
   $domainIp = $domainDns[0];
   $domainIp = $domainIp->getContent();

   //compare the registrar IP to current IP
   if($domainIp == $ipAddress) {
      echo "IP unchanged";
   } else {
      //Here we update the record of the domain that needs changing   
      // Create a DNS entry object
      $dnsEntry = new DnsEntry();
      $dnsEntry->setName('@');
      $dnsEntry->setExpire('300');
      $dnsEntry->setType('A');
      $dnsEntry->setContent($ipAddress);

      // Apply entry
      $api->domainDns()->updateEntry($domainName, $dnsEntry);
   //end of else statement
   }
//end of foreach
}

?>

Thank you so much for the help
