what is doctrine hydration?



I've read about hydration in doctrine's documentation but I still can't understand what it is.





Could someone please explain?

  1. Hydration is a method used to return query results. For example:


    HYDRATE_ARRAY - This will return you an array of records that are represented by another array:

    $q = Doctrine_Query::create()
    ->from('Post p')
    ->setHydrationMode(Doctrine::HYDRATE_ARRAY);


    $resultSet = $q->execute(); // $resultSet is an array


    foreach ($resultSet as $post) {
    // $post is an array
    echo $post['title'];
    }

    HYDRATE_RECORD - This will return you an collection (Doctrine_Collection) of objects:

    $q = Doctrine_Query::create()
    ->from('Post p')
    ->setHydrationMode(Doctrine::HYDRATE_RECORD); // Unnecessary, HYDATE_RECORD is default method


    $resultSet = $q->execute(); // $resultSet is an Doctrine_Collection object


    foreach ($resultSet as $post) {
    // $post is an Post object
    echo $post->getTitle();
    echo $post['title']; // Each Doctrine's Model object implements ArrayAccess interface so this is possible
    echo $post->myCustomMethod();
    }

    HYDRATE_SINGULAR_SCALAR - Will return the value of first column of query's result:

    $q = Doctrine_Query::create()
    ->select('p.created_at')
    ->from('Post p')
    ->where('p.id = ?', 321)
    ->setHydrationMode(Doctrine::HYDRATE_SINGULAR_SCALAR);


    $createdAt = $q->execute(); // $createdAt has value of first column from first record from result set (eg.: 2008-04-06 21:22:35)



    There is a few more methods , you can read about each in documentation.

  2. Doctrine documentation reference explaining HYDRATION:
    http://www.doctrine-project.org/docs/orm/2.0/en/reference/dql-doctrine-query-language.html#query-result-formats

  3. $q->fetchOne(array(), Doctrine_Core::HYDRATE_ARRAY);

    Is just used to return a simple array instead of a doctrine collection object.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
