Question

I have a problem when I want to query table using ORM ,example I have article table with field id,author,text.

My code like this :

// Single where
$article = Model_Article::find()->where('id', 4);
print_r($article);

that’t code will be fetch all field on table article, it’s like select * from article where id = 4

Try Possibility

$article = Model_Article::find(null, array('id','title'))->where('id', 3);

the response is

object(Orm\Query)#89 (14) {
  ["model":protected]=>
  string(10) "Model_Article"
  ["connection":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["view":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["alias":protected]=>
  string(2) "t0"
  ["relations":protected]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["joins":protected]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["select":protected]=>
  array(1) {
    ["t0_c0"]=>
    string(5) "t0.id"
  }
  ["limit":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["offset":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["rows_limit":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["rows_offset":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["where":protected]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      string(9) "and_where"
      [1]=>
      array(3) {
        [0]=>
        string(5) "t0.id"
        [1]=>
        string(1) "="
        [2]=>
        int(3)
      }
    }
  }
  ["order_by":protected]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["values":protected]=>
  array(0) {
  }
}

that’s is not return id or title field.

but when i’m try by adding get_one() method

$article = Model_Article::find(null, array('id','title'))->where('id', 3)->get_one();

id is return , but title is not and another field, i don’t know why ?

Reference

1. ORM Discussion FuelPHP it’s say ORM currently will be select all column, no plans to change that at the moment.

My Problem

1. Select Custom Field using ORM like this select id,owner from article where id = 4 it’s will be return only id & owner, Is Possible to get that using ORM on FUELPHP ?

Answer 1

Do not use

Model_Article::find()->

but use

Model_Article::query()->

The first one works but is considered an error situation which might change in future versions.

As of version 1.4 the ORM supports partial selects, using

Model::query()->select('id', 'value')->

The second parameter of find() is an array of conditions for the find, such as ‘where’ or ‘order_by’ clauses. There is no support for selecting column names in this array.
