Question

I’m using idiorm as an ORM library and the method as_array() doesn’t work with multiple rows.

$p = $db->find_many()->as_array();

it gives me this error

Fatal error: Call to a member function find_many() on a non-object in

Answer 1

According to the idiorm documentation:

Any method chain that ends in find_many() will return an array of ORM
class instances, one for each row matched by your query. If no rows
were found, an empty array will be returned.

So essentially you are trying to call a method on an array, which is not an object, and thus the fatal error. What you need to do if you want to have your rows as arrays, is to loop through each of the find_many() array items and convert them to array with separate as_array() calls. Or, use the http://lt.php.net/array_map function.
