Re: Contributing / DB_Object

(Mika speaking) > I've been playing with a bit similar idea, but just the other > way: (...) to generate your get and set methods, what about using : function genericGet($field) { return $this->{$field}; } and function genericSet($field, $value) { $this->{$field} = $value; } I you don't like this solution (there are some reasons), the only way (i think) is to make a little PHP script which generate the php code you want. Then, you make a copy/paste to add these trivial methods to the rest of your class. (to make the generation script, you may use DB_Object::_fieldsInfo() to get the names of the fields) For the save() method, I use a global variable $db_connection (the DB connection) and my save() method is for example : // to save changes function save() { global $db_connection; DB_Object::update($db_connection, "foo", "id=$this->id", $this, "id"); // Save in the "foo" table the current object // on the record (specified with WHERE id=$this->id) // without recording the 'id' field } // to insert (new record) into database function insert() { global $db_connection; DB_Object::insert($db_connection, "foo", $this); // Insert in the "foo" table the current object // NB : if 'id' field is AUTOINCREMENT, you // have to add the param 'id' at the end of the // insert call (not to record 'id' initial value) } Fabien (fabien.marty@free.fr)
