How to dump mysql table relations in PHP
I searched a lot but could not find a way to dump table relations like one-to-one, one-to-many vs in PHP.
Is there a way to handle this issue in PHP?
A result might be:
array(
'tableA' => array(
'one-to-one' => array('tableB', 'tableC'),
'one-to-many' => array('tableD'),
'tableB' => array(
'one-to-one' => array('tableA')
...
)
Any suggestions are much appreciate开发者_如何学Pythond.
I found a script at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/show-table-status.html which describes parsing table info with regex. I had manipulated the code to work. here is the code.
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pass');
if (!$conn) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
//DB connection already established
mysql_query("use db");
$res = mysql_query("SHOW CREATE TABLE tbl");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
mysql_free_result($res);
//Only work on InnoDB foreign key info.
if(preg_match_all(
'/FOREIGN KEY \(`(.*)`\) REFERENCES `(.*)` \(`(.*)`\)/',
$row['Create Table'],
$matchArr)) {
print_r($matchArr); //which writes down the result
}
?>
You have to do this yourself by parsing the output of the DESCRIBE command. You might consider using a ORM like doctrine. You tell doctrine to make a one to one relation on table a and table b and it handles the rest.
