Hello!

I go deeper and deeper in FuelPHP. Thanks to you I go faster :)

Now I have a question about ORM using.

I have a set of properties (fields) in one table, each property may be 1 or 0 (true or false, in MySQL - tinyint(1)). F.e.:

property_1 - 1
property_2 - 0
property_3 - 0
property_4 - 1

There is a real name for each property, so for property_1 name "Property 1" and so on.

And in the view I want to output real names only for those properties, which have 1 in corresponding field.

Can you help me to find the best way for implementing this on FuelPHP?

I don't understand the question. Something like

if ($model->property_1) echo "Property 1"; ?

I'll try to explain. Property can be (then 1 in table field in DB) or can not be (than 0 in table field in DB). How can I output names of only those properties where 1 in table field?

Harro

Isn't that what this does?

if ($model->property_1) echo "Property 1"; ?

protis

yes, it works :) I though that I should do it with cycle, but there is no problem to write each property by hand :)

Harro

If it's not a relation, but individual columns, there's no other option then to do it by hand. There's nothing to loop over.

If you have a lot of these properties, you might want to look at an EAV container, which is more flexible when it comes to recording different properties or attributes of an object.
