3 calls to _Course::load_course()
_Course::load_course_from_data_string in classes/_Course.php
This will take a data string, as created by the function to_data_string(), and make $this object match the original object. It is a poor man's unserialize. See to_data_string()'s description for a fuller picture of what is going on.
_Course::load_course_from_name in classes/_Course.php
Load $this as a new course based on the subject_id and course_num, instead of the course_id. This is a useful function for when you know a subject_id and course_num, but not course_id (for example, if it comes from human input).
_Course::__construct in classes/_Course.php
The constructor for a Course object.
