Question

I want to be able to select multiple rows with one query. I was wondering if you can do something like this?

$teamsQuery = $this->db;

foreach( $teamids as $teamid )
$teamsQuery->where('teamid', $teamid);

$teamsQuery->get('team');

$teams = $teamsQuery->result();

print_r($teams);

Answer 1

By definition, an ActiveRecord wraps a single row in a database in an object and attaches business and persistence logic to it. If you want to fetch multiple rows with one query, have a look at TableDataGateway.

In the TableDateGateway you would have a method findTeamsByIds which you will pass the entire array of IDs and then fetch those in a SELECT … WHERE … IN query.
