alias for inst ?

Lapointe

hi

is there a way to alias this in php class Editor::inst( $db, $TblName )
for example Editor::inst( $db, $TblName as 'tbl') or Editor::inst( $db, $TblName )->name('tbl') or ???

Thank

Bob

I don't quite understand I'm afraid - are you looking to alias the table name? If so try:

Editor::inst( $db, $TblName .' as tbl')

However it isn't something we use extensively, so it is possible there might be a few rough edges.

hi @allan

Yes it was what I was looking for... I use .data files that describe datas, .def that describe associated table and editor...

With many table in a dataset, fields do have prefix using table name.

So when I want to test a way using a view, the stable name used for tests change, and I need to change fields definition in .def files.

So using alias I can reuse fields definitions with no change at all...

I did test $Table as 'tbl', missing table name must be a string

Sometimes I'm better... and this is not really difficult to be

Thanks
