This program creates ADOdb active record classes for a given database model. This program is intended for use in a database-first approach.

Running create-entities.php will read the tables in your database and creates simple active record classes based on the table structure.

Example:

php create-entities.php --hostname=<db host> --database=<db name> --namespace=<namespace of generated classes> --outputDirectory=<directory to write the generated files to>

The list of available options are:

• driver: the ADOdb database driver to use (default "mysqli")
• hostname: the name of the database host (default "localhost")
• username: the username used to login to the database (default "root")
• password: the username's password (default "")
• database: the name of the database to generate active record classes for (default "")
• namespace: the PHP namespace to write at the top of the generated files (default "Models")
• outputDirectory: the directory where the generated files will be written (default "./") This is typically the directory in your project where you want the model classes to reside.
• includeOverrideMethods: adds method stubs to the generated classes that override some of ADOdb's ADODB_Active_Record methods. This will provide better type-hinting when using the generated classes without changing the functionality of the methods.
