3 | 1 | This guide will show you the bare essentials to get up and running with php-activerecord. I will assume you have downloaded the library into your include_path in a directory called php-activerecord. |
|
4 | 1 | ||
5 | 1 | The first steps are to include the library and define our database connection: |
|
6 | 1 | ||
7 | 1 | <pre class="php"> |
|
8 | 1 | require_once 'php-activerecord/ActiveRecord.php'; |
|
9 | 1 | ||
10 | 1 | ActiveRecord\Config::initialize(function($cfg) |
|
11 | 1 | { |
|
12 | 1 | $cfg->set_model_directory('models'); |
|
13 | 1 | $cfg->set_connections(array( |
|
14 | 1 | 'development' => 'mysql://username:password@localhost/database_name')); |
|
15 | 1 | }); |
|
16 | 1 | </pre> |
|
17 | 1 | ||
18 | 1 | Next, lets create a model for a table called users. We'll save this class in the file models/User.php |
|
19 | 1 | ||
20 | 1 | <pre class="php"> |
|
21 | 1 | class User extends ActiveRecord\Model |
|
22 | 1 | { |
|
23 | 1 | } |
|
24 | 1 | </pre> |
|
25 | 1 | ||
26 | 1 | That's it! Now you can access the users table thru the User model. |
|
27 | 1 | ||
28 | 1 | <pre class="php"> |
|
29 | 1 | # create Tito |
|
30 | 1 | $user = User::create(array('name' => 'Tito', 'state' => 'VA')); |
|
31 | 1 | ||
32 | 1 | # read Tito |
|
33 | 1 | $user = User::find_by_name('Tito'); |
|
34 | 1 | ||
35 | 1 | # update Tito |
|
36 | 1 | $user->name = 'Tito Jr'; |
|
37 | 1 | $user->save(); |
|
38 | 1 | ||
39 | 1 | # delete Tito |
|
40 | 1 | $user->delete(); |
|
41 | 1 | </pre> |
|
42 | 1 | ||
43 | 1 | Easy, huh? |
