4.x _Course.php	_Course::load_course_from_data_string($str)
5.x _Course.php	_Course::load_course_from_data_string($str)

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.

To use:

• $newCourse = new Course();
• $newCourse->load_course_from_data_string($data);

Parameters

string $str:

File

classes/_Course.php, line 210

Class

_Course
