Method Detail

DB_Table (Constructor)   [line 647]

object DB_Table DB_Table( object &$db, [string $table = null], [mixed $create = false])

Constructor.

The constructor returns a DB_Table object that wraps an instance $db DB or MDB2, and that binds to a specific database table named $table. It can optionally create the database table or verify that its schema matches that declared in the $col and $idx parameters, depending on the value of the $create parameter.

If there is an error on instantiation, $this->error will be populated with the PEAR_Error.

  • Access: public

Parameters:

object   &$db   —  A PEAR DB/MDB2 object.
string   $table   —  The table name to connect to in the database.
mixed   $create   —  The automatic table creation mode to pursue:
  • boolean false to not attempt creation
  • 'safe' to create the table only if it does not exist
  • 'drop' to drop any existing table with the same name and re-create it
  • 'verify' to check whether the table exists, whether all the columns exist, whether the columns have the right type, and whether the indexes exist and have the right type
  • 'alter' does the same as 'safe' if the table does not exist; if it exists, a verification for columns existence, the column types, the indexes existence, and the indexes types will be performed and the table schema will be modified if needed

[ Top ]

addFormElements   [line 2065]

void addFormElements( object &$form, [array $columns = null], [string $array_name = null], [clientValidate $clientValidate = null])

Adds elements and rules to a pre-existing HTML_QuickForm object.

By default, the form will use the names of the columns as the names of the form elements. If you pass $array_name, the column names will become keys in an array named for this parameter.


Parameters:

object   &$form   —  An HTML_QuickForm object.
array   $columns   —  A sequential array of column names to use in the form; if null, uses all columns.
string   $array_name   —  Name of array of column names
clientValidate   $clientValidate   — 

[ Top ]

addStaticFormElements   [line 2088]

void addStaticFormElements( object &$form)

Adds static form elements like 'header', 'static', 'submit' or 'reset' to a pre-existing HTML_QuickForm object. The form elements needs to be defined in a property called $frm.

Parameters:

object   &$form   —  An HTML_QuickForm object.

[ Top ]

alter   [line 1822]

boolean alter( )

Alters the table to match schema declared in $this->col and $this->idx.

If the table does not exist, create it instead.


[ Top ]

string   $seq_name   —  The sequence name; defaults to table_id.

[ Top ]

quote   [line 1445]

string quote( mixed $val)

Escapes and enquotes a value for use in an SQL query.

Simple wrapper for DB_Common::quoteSmart() or MDB2::quote(), which returns the value of one of these functions. Helps makes user input safe against SQL injection attack.

  • Return: The value with quotes escaped, inside single quotes if non-numeric.
  • See: MDB2::quote()
  • See: DB_Common::quoteSmart()
  • Throws: PEAR_Error if DB_Common::quoteSmart() or MDB2::quote() returns Error (bubbled up)
  • Access: public

Parameters:

mixed   $val   —  The value to be quoted

[ Top ]

recast   [line 1522]

void recast( array &$data)

Forces array elements to the proper types for their columns.

This will not valiate the data, and will forcibly change the data to match the recast-type.

The date, time, and timestamp recasting has special logic for arrays coming from an HTML_QuickForm object so that the arrays are converted into properly-formatted strings.

  • Todo: If a column key holds an array of values (say from a multiple select) then this method will not work properly; it will recast the value to the string 'Array'. Is this bad?
  • Access: public

Parameters:

array   &$data   —  The data array to re-cast.

[ Top ]

setAutoInc   [line 1079]

void setAutoInc( [bool $flag = true])

Turns on or off auto-incrementing of $auto_inc_col column (if any)

For auto-incrementing to work, an $auto_inc_col column must be declared, auto-incrementing must be enabled (by this method), and the value of the $auto_inc_col column must be not set or null in the $data passed to the insert method.

  • Access: public

Parameters:

bool   $flag   —  True to turn on auto-increment, false to turn off.

[ Top ]

setDatabaseInstance   [line 944]

void setDatabaseInstance( object &$database)

Connect or disconnect a DB_Table_Database instance to this table instance.

Used to re-connect this DB_Table object to a parent DB_Table_Database object during unserialization. Can also disconnect if the $database parameter is null. Use the DB_Table_Database::addTable method instead to add a table to a new DB_Table_Database.

  • Access: public

Parameters:

object   &$database   —  DB_Table_Database instance that this table belongs to (or null to disconnect from instance).

[ Top ]

setErrorMessage   [line 820]

void setErrorMessage( mixed $code, [string $message = null])

Overwrite one or more error messages, e.g. to internationalize them.
  • Access: public

Overrides DB_Table_Base::setErrorMessage() (Overwrites one or more error messages, e.g., to internationalize them.)

Parameters:

mixed   $code   —  If string, the error message with code $code will be overwritten by $message. If array, the error messages with code of each array key will be overwritten by the key's value.
string   $message   —  Only used if $key is not an array.

[ Top ]

supported   [line 751]

bool supported( string $phptype, [string $dbsyntax = ''])

Is a particular RDBMS supported by DB_Table?
