MidCOM DBA object constructor
midcom_baseclasses_database_article(mixed $id = null);
Creating empty objects
If you need an empty object, for example to create a new object instance, you just use the default constructor:
$article = new midcom_baseclasses_database_article();
$article->title = $title;
$article->name = $name;
$article->topic = $topic_id;
$article->create();
Required privilges: None for the construction operation itself.
Loading objects from the database
Otherwise, you can pass either an ID or an GUID to the constructor, which will then try to load the corresponding record from the database using the
MgdSchemaClass::get_by_id() and MgdSchemaClass::get_by_guid() methods.
If the retrieval of the object fails, you will get false instead of a class instance.
$article = new midcom_baseclasses_database_article($id);
// or
$article = new midcom_baseclasses_database_article($guid);
Required privilges: midgard:read on the record to be accessed.
