Question

I’m using readbeanphp as ORM for my php project. I’m trying to load a bean with an additional where clasue. But i’m not sure how to do this.

Normally i’d get a ‘bean’ like this:

$book = R::load('book', $id);

Which is basically like saying:

SELECT * FROM book WHERE id = '$id'

But i need to add another condition in the where clause:

SELECT * FROM book WHERE id = '$id' AND active = 1

How can i do this with redbeanphp?

RedBean_Facade::load is using for primary key only.

if you want get beans by a complex query
use

R::find like,

$needles = R::find('needle',' haystack = :haystack 
                                  ORDER BY :sortorder', 
    array( ':sortorder'=>$sortorder, ':haystack'=>$haystack ));

try to use getAll to write your query directly with parameters

R::getAll( 'select * from book where 
id= :id AND active = :act', 
array(':id'=>$id,':act' => 1) );
