See assets/php/util.php and assets/php/classes/*.class.php for more functions. Especially the classes CURLRequester, DirectNotifications, User, Group, Notifications, Permissions and Settings. You can find usage examples for those classes in the core files, just use the search function.

Global Variables

Database

GExtension uses a MySQLi class which is documentated here.

The object is named $db and can be used by functions with:

$db = MysqliDb::getInstance();

or

global $db;

User

The current user is available as a variable named $auth_user, null if not logged in.

global $auth_user;

DBTableClass

The DBTableClass is used as a processor for mysql data. It's used by several classes, for example User.

All classes using the DBTableClass have the methods GetValue($key), SetValue($key, $value), Update($data) and Delete() and also the attributes $valid (there is data for the given id) and $data (raw data array).

Example for the class "User":

$user = new User($steamid64or32);

if($user->valid){
    $nick = $user->GetValue('nick'); //Getting a value
    $user->SetValue('email', '[email protected]'); //Updating a value
    $user->Update(array('email' => '[email protected]', 'nick' => 'Test')) //Updating multiple values
    $user->Delete() //You may should not delete a user from database
}
