Chapter 16: Behaviors 262
actAs: [SoftDelete]
columns:
name:
type: string(255)
primary: true
Lets check the SQL that is generated by the above models:
Listing
16-69
// test.php
Listing
16-70
// ...
$sql = Doctrine_Core::generateSqlFromArray(array('SoftDeleteTest'));
echo $sql[0];
The above code would output the following SQL query:
CREATE TABLE soft_delete_test (name VARCHAR(255),
deleted TINYINT(1) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(name)) ENGINE = INNODB
Now lets put the behavior in action.
You are required to enable DQL callbacks in order for all executed queries to have the dql
callbacks executed on them. In the SoftDelete behavior they are used to filter the select
statements to exclude all records where the deleted flag is set with an additional WHERE
condition.
Enable DQL Callbacks
Listing
16-71
// bootstrap.php
// ...
$manager->setAttribute(Doctrine_Core::ATTR_USE_DQL_CALLBACKS, true);
Now save a new record so we can test the SoftDelete functionality:
Listing
16-72
// test.php
// ...
$record = new SoftDeleteTest();
$record->name = 'new record';
$record->save();
Now when we call delete() the deleted flag will be set to true:
Listing
16-73
// test.php
Listing
16-74
// ...
$record->delete();
print_r($record->toArray());
The above example would produce the following output:
$ php test.php
Array
