Howdy [NEW SUBSCRIBER ALERT | NEW SUBSCRIBER ALERT] Are there any DataObject specific tutorials around other than the examples supplied in the docs... I'm having a rough time learning to use it: At present No, damien was planning to write one, I've had a few offers to do some writing for magazines, and this may be the best place for a full tutorial..

Think I will use pastebin: http://www.pastebin.com/9347 Basically this little app needs to take details for jobs on the go and store then in the db, as well as list all jobs not currently completed (status=P) above the submission form All the code necessary to get DB_DataObject going is above. The problem? Well when I load the page first time, I get a listing of the jobs in the db, but after I press submit for a new job, I get only that job in the listing until I restart the script from scratch. Any ideas? try using

DB_DataObject::debugLevel(5); should show what is going on.. - It looks like you are using register_globals = on, its far better to do if (isset($_POST['projectSubmit'])) { $job->setFrom($_POST); // and make the post elements match the database coluns $job->insert(); } It's also a good idea to use a NEW $job object, after you have inserted.: = if (isset($projectSubmit)) {

    $job->client = $projectClient;
    $job->description = $projectDescription;
    $job->person = $projectPerson;
    $job->insert();

****

    $job = new DataObjects_Projects;
