Class: data_object - X-Ref
A data abstraction object that holds methods and attributes__construct($params = null, $fetch = true) X-Ref |
Constructor. Optionally (and by default) attempts to fetch corresponding row from DB. If $fetch is not false, there are a few different things that can happen: - true: load corresponding row from the database, using $params as the WHERE clause - DATA_OBJECT_FETCH_BY_KEY: load corresponding row from the database, using only the $id in the WHERE clause (if set), otherwise using the columns listed in $this->unique_fields. - array(): load corresponding row from the database, using the columns listed in this array in the WHERE clause param: array $params required parameters and their values for this data object param: mixed $fetch if false, do not attempt to fetch from the database, otherwise see notes |
load_optional_fields() X-Ref |
Makes sure all the optional fields are loaded. If id present (==instance exists in db) fetches data from db. Defaults are used for new instances. |
fetch($params) X-Ref |
Finds and returns a data_object instance based on params. This function MUST be overridden by all deriving classes. return: data_object instance of data_object or false if none found. param: array $params associative arrays varname => value |
fetch_all($params) X-Ref |
Finds and returns all data_object instances based on params. This function MUST be overridden by all deriving classes. return: array array of data_object instances or false if none found. param: array $params associative arrays varname => value |
fetch_helper($table, $classname, $params) X-Ref |
Factory method - uses the parameters to retrieve matching instance from the DB. return: object Instance of $classname or false. param: string $table The table name to fetch from param: string $classname The class that you want the result instantiated as param: array $params Any params required to select the desired row |
fetch_all_helper($table, $classname, $params) X-Ref |
Factory method - uses the parameters to retrieve all matching instances from the DB. return: mixed array of object instances or false if not found param: string $table The table name to fetch from param: string $classname The class that you want the result instantiated as param: array $params Any params required to select the desired row |
update() X-Ref |
Updates this object in the Database, based on its object variables. ID must be set. return: bool success |
delete() X-Ref |
Deletes this object from the database. return: bool success |
get_record_data() X-Ref |
Returns object with fields and values that are defined in database return: stdClass |
insert() X-Ref |
Records this object in the Database, sets its id to the returned value, and returns that value. If successful this function also fetches the new object data from database and stores it in object properties. return: int PK ID if successful, false otherwise |
update_from_db() X-Ref |
Using this object's id field, fetches the matching record in the DB, and looks at each variable in turn. If the DB has different data, the db's data is used to update the object. This is different from the update() function, which acts on the DB record based on the object. return: bool True for success, false otherwise. |
set_properties(&$instance, $params) X-Ref |
Given an associated array or object, cycles through each key/variable and assigns the value to the corresponding variable in this object. param: data_object $instance param: array $params |
notify_changed($deleted) X-Ref |
Called immediately after the object data has been inserted, updated, or deleted in the database. Default does nothing, can be overridden to hook in special behaviour. param: bool $deleted Set this to true if it has been deleted. |
