This tutorial will show how to do this, as well as how to automate the process for several tables or an entire database. Motivation Solar provides automatic transparent table generation from model classes, however some times it is necessary to generate models from tables. For example, one such circumstance is legacy databases. text/html 2010-01-04T18:11:22-05:00 http://solarphp.org/tutorials:model_relationship_recipes?rev=1262650282 These are examples of Solar_Sql_Model relationships. They serve as extractable “recipes” to be combined in different model schemes.

Introduction Tipos_Controller_Router, or the “router controller”, is a class that extends Solar_Controller_Front to provide more flexibility and control for URI's. It allows virtually any URI scheme to be used in Solar apps, “routing” to the right controller and action. Also, it abstracts URI building and f… text/html 2008-08-25T08:48:22-05:00 http://solarphp.org/tutorials:setting_up_models?rev=1219672102 See also: * Model Relationship Reference * Model Relationship Recipes Some advice on how to setup models, layout the files, and use them in your application. I hope this saves you some time in figuring out how the Model and Record classes interact and can make coding a little easier. First thing to keep in mind is that a Model describes a Table in your database, while a Record is used to describe a single row in your database. text/html 2008-08-25T08:48:22-05:00 http://solarphp.org/tutorials:solar_app_from_scratch_1?rev=1219672102 Solar App from Scratch - part 1 First words This is intended to be a series of tutorials with tricks to work with Solar. At the end we should have a working app, built step by step. Although I may cover some basic Solar topics, it is expected that you have read the official manual and have setup Solar at least once, to see how it is done.
