Question

so if i have a model Student, which Tests and Homework reference, is there a way using the Model or Table class of Student which returns Tests and Homework? Essentially I want to manually do “on delete cascade” without necessarily knowing the tables Ineed to delete — I was hoping to get these tables from one of Doctrine’s methods.

Answer 1

You can get all the relations of a class with:

$relations = Doctrine_Core::getTable('<CLASS_NAME>')->getRelations();

foreach($relations as $relation)
  echo $relation->getClass();

See Doctrine_Relation_Association and Doctrine_Relation for more information.
