set_to_array()

Creates an array indexed by variable names with values equal to the class values. Only included "database column" variables

If set_from_array_unsafe is used to add a variable "mother" to the class, it will not be included in the array.

function code:
<?php
    function set_to_array()
    {
        $array = array();
        foreach($this->_columns as $name=>$v)
        {
            if ($v['type'] == 'date')
                @$array[$name] = $this->{$name."_display"};
            else
                @$array[$name] = $this->{$name};
        }
        if (@is_array($this->_links))
            foreach($this->_links as $val)
                @$array[$val] = $this->{$val};
        return $array;
    }
?>


Example:

example.php
<?php
include("lib.php");
load("person");

$p = new person($_GET['person_id']);
$array = $p->set_to_array();
// if this is being used with set_$field_ie() functions, you could use: $_POST = $p->set_to_array();

?>
