Method Detail
attach() public ¶
attach( string $behavior , array $config = array() )
Attaches a behavior to a model
Parameters
- string $behavior
- CamelCased name of the behavior to load
- array $config optional array()
- Behavior configuration parameters
Returns
True on success, false on failure
attached() public ¶
attached( string $name = null )
Gets the list of attached behaviors, or, whether the given behavior is attached
Parameters
- string $name optional null
Optional. The name of the behavior to check the status of. If omitted, returns an array of currently-attached behaviors
Returns
If $name is specified, returns the boolean status of the corresponding behavior. Otherwise, returns an array of all attached behaviors.
detach() public ¶
detach( string $name )
Detaches a behavior from a model
Parameters
- string $name
- CamelCased name of the behavior to unload
disable() public ¶
disable( mixed $name )
Disables callbacks on a behavior or array of behaviors. Public behavior methods are still callable as normal.
Parameters
- mixed $name
- CamelCased name of the behavior(s) to disable (string or array)
dispatchMethod() public ¶
dispatchMethod( string $model , array $method , $params = array() , $strict = false )
Dispatches a behavior method
Parameters
- string $model
- $method Name of the method to call
- array $method
- $params Parameter list to use when calling $method
- $params optional array()
- $strict optional false
Returns
All methods for all behaviors attached to this object
Overrides
enable() public ¶
enable( mixed $name )
Enables callbacks on a behavior or array of behaviors
Parameters
- mixed $name
- CamelCased name of the behavior(s) to enable (string or array)
enabled() public ¶
enabled( string $name = null )
Gets the list of currently-enabled behaviors, or, the current status of a single behavior
Parameters
- string $name optional null
Optional. The name of the behavior to check the status of. If omitted, returns an array of currently-enabled behaviors
Returns
If $name is specified, returns the boolean status of the corresponding behavior. Otherwise, returns an array of all enabled behaviors.
init() public ¶
init( $modelName , $behaviors = array() )
Attaches a model object and loads a list of behaviors
Methods inherited from Object
Object() public ¶
Object( )
A hack to support __construct() on PHP 4 Hint: descendant classes have no PHP4 class_name() constructors, so this constructor gets called first and calls the top-layer __construct() which (if present) should call parent::__construct()
Returns
__openPersistent() public ¶
__openPersistent( string $name , string $type = null )
Open the persistent class file for reading Used by Object::_persist()
Parameters
- string $name
- Name of persisted class
- string $type optional null
- Type of persistance (e.g: registry)
_persist() public ¶
_persist( string $name , string $return , $object , $type = null )

- $object
- $type optional null
Returns
Success
_savePersistent() public ¶
