A class to manage associative data. Particularly useful for storing data for which there are up to 3 hierarchical keys in the database and retrieving that data at a later date. This class automatically serializes and de-serializes complex types such as arrays or objects.
Set(string $key2, mixed $value, string $key3, string $key4)
Store some data
$obj = new AssocData(cmsms()->GetDb(),'addresses');
$obj->Set('user1','123 Somewhere Street');
| string | $key2 | The second key |
| mixed | $value | The data to store |
| string | $key3 | An optional third key |
| string | $key4 | An optional fourth key |
Get(string $key2, string $key3, string $key4) : mixed
Retrieve stored data
will pull the data from the cache if possible, and if necessary from the database.
$obj = new AssocData(cmsms()->GetDb(),'addresses');
$the_address = $obj->Get('user1');
| string | $key2 | A second key |
| string | $key3 | An optional third key |
| string | $key4 | An optional 4th key |
The resulting data. If no data is found FALSE is returned.
GetFullNoCache(string $key2, string $key3, string $key4) : mixed
Retrieve data from the database, ignoring any cache
| string | $key2 | A second key |
| string | $key3 | An optional third key |
| string | $key4 | An optional 4th key |
The resulting data. If no data is found FALSE is returned.
