REQUIREMENTS 
------------

1. php-cli 5.2+
2. PDO extension
3. This script was only tested on MySQL and MS-SQL server. if it works on any other servers
   please let me know.

NOTICE
------

Since version 0.4, in order to prevent code duplication,
common classes where seperated from the model class to MainModel.php
and from the DbTable class to MainDbTable.php. these classes are already
placed by the script in their appropriate places

USAGE
-----

class::toArray() - returns an array, keys are the column names
class::fetchAll() - fetch all rows
class::findOneBy<field>($value) - find a row where the field eq $value
class::findBy<field>($value) - find an array 
class::find($id) - find a row by primary key
class::fetchList($where=null, $order=null, $count=null, $offset=null) - fetch all , filtered by where, order, count and offset.
class::fetchListToArray($where=null, $order=null, $count=null, $offset=null) - fetch all , filtered by where, order, count and offset.
                                                                               returns each row in an array instead of an instance of the class.
class::save($ignoreEmptyValuesOnUpdate=true) - save the current row
class::set<field>($value) - sets a field with a value
class::get<field>() - get a field's value
class::fetchAllToArray() - returns all the rows of the table in an array

class::deleteRowByPrimaryKey() - in general it's used to delete the current loaded row
class::delete($where)   - delete rows in the table by $where
class::countAllRows() -  counts all rows
class::getPrimaryKeyName() - returns the name of the primary key column
class::countByQuery($where='') - count query results
class::select2Paginator(Zend_Db_Select $select) - created a Zend_Paginator class by a given select
class::fetchAll2Paginator()  - fetch all rows into a Zend_Paginator
class::fetchListToPaginator($where=null, $order=null, $count=null, $offset=null) -
                    fetchs all rows optionally filtered by where, order, count and offset
class::getTableName() - returns the table name
class::getSelect($withFromPart=true,$resetColumns=true,$resetOrder=true,$resetLimitOffset=true) - returns a Zend_Db_Table_select object
class::query2Paginator($query) - creates a Zend_Paginator for a query string

Example:

class for database table 'users':

===== example.php =======

<?php

/* The following code may be needed without the usage of Zend Framework MVC.
 * here i include the Users.php file created by this script, the the 
 * Zend_Db_Adapter_Mysqli in order to create a connection 
 * to the database, and the Zend_Db_Table
 * class in order to set the default adapter.
 */


require_once("Users.php");

require_once("Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php");
require_once("Zend/Db/Table.php");

$db = new Zend_Db_Adapter_Mysqli(array(
    'host'     => '127.0.0.1',
   'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '<PASSWORD>',
    'dbname'   => '<DB>'
));

Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter($db);

$users = new Default_Model_Users();

// example 1: fetchs an array of Default_Model_Users filtered by username eq 'admin'. 

$data=$users->fetchList('username = \'admin\'',null,1);
var_dump($data[0]->toArray());

// fetchs one row where username eq 'admin'
$users->findOneByUsername('admin');
var_dump($users->toArray());

// fetches all rows where username eq 'admin'
$data=$users->findByUsername('admin');
var_dump($data[0]->toArray());

// finds a row where username eq 'admin' and saves it
$users->findOneByUsername('admin');
$users->setUsername('root');
$users->save();

// finds a row by primary key 1 and delete it
$users->setId(1);
$users->deleteRowByPrimaryKey();

// updates username in row 9
$users->setId(9);
$users->setUsername('newuser');
$users->save();

?>
