softwarepunt/php-activerecord

This is a fork of php-activerecord, originally authored by @kla, @jpfuentes2 and its contributors.

Important

⚠ php-activerecord is no longer actively being maintained, the original site is dead, and the project is mostly abandoned.

I would not recommend this ORM for any new projects or developments.

This fork contains some quality-of-life enhancements, support for the latest PHP version, and fixes, which are relevant to us and some of our older projects that we maintain.

Installation

We recommend using composer:

composer require softwarepunt/php-activerecord:dev-master

Because we do not actively maintain tags or versions for this project, you should refer to dev-master.

Documentation & usage

• 👨‍💻 The original project: https://github.com/jpfuentes2/php-activerecord
• 📕 Mirror of the old docs site: https://www.phpactiverecord.xyz/

(⚠ phpactiverecord.org is dead and being squatted by someone, best to ignore it.)

Fork changes

This fork is currently only compatible with PHP 8.1!

Fixes

• Compatibility fixes over time for PHP 7.2, 8.0, 8.1
• activerecord_autoload no longer causes conflicts when the library is loaded more than once.
• Fix count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable error in find_by_pk().
• Fix castIntegerSafely() throwing an error if the input is empty (e.g. empty string), now just returns zero.

Enhancements

• DateTime: Implement \JsonSerializable, format in "c" mode.

• Added set_is_new_record(bool) to Model to help modifying internal state.

• Added experimental reconnect() function to Connection.

• Added stupidfastquery($options): this converts options to a query and returns the raw PDO result set without any activerecord magic.

• Added stupidfastqueryValues($options, $colIndex = 0): runs a stupidfastquery and returns an array of column values.

• Added stupidfastcount($options): run query, only return row count.

• Added find_all_with_wrapped_sort($options): this wraps the results in a separate SELECT for faster sorting on JOIN heavy queries.

• Pass query_info to find($options) options to get generated query data as result (used internally by stupidfastcount & co) - can be used if you want to convert $options to an actual statement:

  [
    'query' => $sql->to_s(),
    'values' => $sql->get_where_values(),
    'readonly' => $readonly,
    'eager_load' => $eager_load
  ];
