Code

function &load($arg, $reset = FALSE) {
  static $cache = array();

  // We want a NULL value to return TRUE here, so we can't use isset() or empty().
  if (!array_key_exists($arg, $cache) || $reset) {
    $where = is_numeric($arg) ? "vid =  %d" : "name = '%s'";
    $data = db_fetch_object(db_query("SELECT * FROM {views_view} WHERE {$where}", $arg));
    if (empty($data)) {
      $cache[$arg] = NULL;
    }
    else {
      $view = new view();
      $view
        ->load_row($data);
      $view->type = t('Normal');

      // Load all of our subtables.
      foreach ($view
        ->db_objects() as $key) {
        $object_name = "views_{$key}";
        $result = db_query("SELECT * FROM {{$object_name}} WHERE vid = %d ORDER BY position", $view->vid);
        while ($data = db_fetch_object($result)) {
          $object = new $object_name(FALSE);
          $object
            ->load_row($data);

          // Because it can get complicated with this much indirection,
          // make a shortcut reference.
          $location =& $view->{$key};

          // If we have a basic id field, load the item onto the view based on
          // this ID, otherwise push it on.
          if (!empty($object->id)) {
            $location[$object->id] = $object;
          }
          else {
            $location[] = $object;
          }
        }
      }
      $view->loaded = TRUE;
      $cache[$arg] = $view;
    }
  }
  return $cache[$arg];
}
