How to Dynamically Set table name in the Model fuelphp
  • viyancsviyancs
    I have problem when I want to set table name with my prefix from my config file.

    class Model_Users extends \Orm\Model
    {
    protected static $_table_name ;
            
            public function before() 
            {
                parent::before();

                self::$_table_name = \Config::get('dbase.db.prefix').'users';

            }
    }

    and when I am run I got the error

    42000! 

    I think that error because table_name is empty or not set.

    any suggestion ?

    You never use self (unless in very specific cases), you use static.

    Having said that, a before() method is something controllers only have. That doesn't work for other classes. For static data, you can do:

    public static function _init()
    {
        static::$_table_name = \Config::get('dbase.db.prefix').'users';
    }

    and having said that: you know you can define a table prefix in your db.php config file?
