[ANSWERED] Declaring Relationships AR

Hello,

Do we need each class for each tables we have in the database, for example at the tutorial: http://www.yiiframew…e/database.arr.



class Post extends CActiveRecord


{


    public function relations()


    {


        return array(


            'author'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'User', 'authorID'),


            'categories'=>array(self::MANY_MANY, 'Category', 'PostCategory(postID, categoryID)'),


        );


    }


} 


Please refer to exactly at the line:

'categories'=>array(self::MANY_MANY, 'Category', 'PostCategory(postID, categoryID)'),

Now, I am a bit ambigued with the PostCategory(postID, categoryID) in this array ? Is it the PostCategory class which extends the CActiveRecord or is it the table name ?

If it is a class, could anybody kindly post what should be defined for the RelationType ?

Thank you,

Chris

PostCategory refers to the joining table name, not AR class name.

Ach, ok then…thanks, qiang!
