Chapter 10: Component Overview 164
$conn = Doctrine_Manager::connection();
$user1 = new User();
$user1->username = 'Jack';
$user2 = new User();
$user2->username = 'jwage';
$conn->flush();
Calling Doctrine_Connection::flush() will save all unsaved record instances for that
connection. You could of course optionally call save() on each record instance and it would
be the same thing.
Listing
10-6
// test.php
// ...
$user1->save();
$user2->save();
Table
Doctrine_Table holds the schema information specified by the given component (record).
For example if you have a User class that extends Doctrine_Record, each schema
definition call gets delegated to a unique table object that holds the information for later use.
Each Doctrine_Table is registered by Doctrine_Connection. You can retrieve the table
object for each component easily which is demonstrated right below.
For example, lets say we want to retrieve the table object for the User class. We can do this
by simply giving User as the first argument for the Doctrine_Core::getTable() method.
Getting a Table Object
In order to get table object for specified record just call Doctrine_Record::getTable().
Listing
10-7
// test.php
// ...
$accountTable = Doctrine_Core::getTable('Account');
Getting Column Information
You can retrieve the column definitions set in Doctrine_Record by using the appropriate
Doctrine_Table methods. If you need all information of all columns you can simply use:
Listing
10-8
// test.php
// ...
$columns = $accountTable->getColumns();
$columns = $accountTable->getColumns();
foreach ($columns as $column)
{
print_r($column);
}
