Saving Data

Saving Data

To save an object back into the data mapper, simply create an instance of stdClass:

$pdo = new PDO('mysql:dbname=maphpertest;host=127.0.0.1', 'username', 'password');
$blogSource = new \Maphper\DataSource\Database($pdo, 'blog', 'id');
$blogs = new \Maphper\Maphper($blogSource);


$blog = new stdClass;

$blog->title = 'My Blog Title';
$blog->content = 'This is my first blog entry';

//Store the blog using the next available ID
$blogs[] = $blog;

echo 'The new blog ID is :' . $blog->id;

Alternatively, you can write a record to a specific ID by specifying the index:

$blog = new stdClass;

$blog->title = 'My Blog Title';
$blog->content = 'This is my first blog entry';

//Store the blog with the primary key of 7
$blogs[7] = $blog;

Note: The behaviour of this is identical to setting the id property on the $blog object directly:

$blog = new stdClass;

$blog->id = 7;
$blog->title = 'My Blog Title';
$blog->content = 'This is my first blog entry';

//Store the blog with the primary key of 7
$blogs[] = $blog;
