Question

I’m using phpactiverecord for this project, I have this db structure:

Tables: Tickets, Labels

I’m currently using a has_many association for these two tables: “Tickets has many labels”, however I need to assign each label to different ticket, which is not possible at the moment without having duplicated rows with different id and ticket_id values.

Any idea on how to achieve this ?

Cheers

Answer 1

You need create additional table

 table Label2Tickets (`label_id`, `ticket_id`, PRIMARY KEY (`label_id`, `ticket_id`)
 \* there you may store date of create, status and etc *\ 
 `created`, `status`, `user_id` ... )

And update existing AR and create new AR for this table:

Ticket HAS MANY Label2Tickets where Label2Tickets.ticket_id = Tickets.id
Label HAS MANY Label2Tickets where Label2Tickets.label_id = Labels.id
