1) If your toString method is heavily dependant on the table you're getting the string for, put a special toString method in each table's class which does what it needs to do. It's perfectly fine to edit an auto-generated class as long as you leave the stuff between the autogenerated markers alone.
Yes, I was originally trying not to edit the auto-generated classes. (I am using PHP 5 objects and the auto-generated are PHP 4 style. I suppose I didn't want to mix syntax and it I wanted to use PHP 5. In the end, who cares though.)
Regenerate them. The newer versions of DB_DataObject will use PHP5 syntax when you use the generator in PHP5. :-)
Perfect! I thank you for your time! You have saved me from several mistakes and, I learned a bit more how to use DB_DataObject correctly.
