function context_context in Context 6

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 5 context.module \context_context()
  2. 6.3 context.module \context_context()
  3. 6.2 context.module \context_context()
  4. 7.3 context.module \context_context()

Master context function. Avoid calling this directly -- use one of the helper functions below.

Parameters

$op: The operation to perform - handled by the context helper functions. Use them.

$namespace: A string to be used as the namespace for the context information.

$attribute: Usually a string to be used as a key to set/retrieve context information. An array can also be used when setting context to establish an entire context namespace at once. (At some point objects may also be accepted, but currently functionaliy isn't complete.)

$value: A value to set for the provided key. If omitted the value will be set to true.

Return value

Either the requested value, or false if the operation fails.
