Ok, so, I've got a dynamic database setup where tickets are put in the tables and the tables can be created on the fly (as well as columns) - so I'm setting up the database model to handle this based upon incoming IDs.
Model code:

PHP Code:

    protected $table = 'TN';
    protected $DBGroup = 'protoEngine';

    public function getTickets(){
        echo $this->table.": enter<br>";
        $this->setTable($this->table);
        echo $this->table.": change 2<br>";
        $a= $this->findAll(10,0);
        echo $this->table.": post query<br>";
        echo $this->getLastQuery();
        echo "<hr>";
        print_r($a);
        die();
    }

    public function changeTable($queueID) {

        echo $this->table.": start<br>";
        $this->setTable("ticketTypeData");
        echo $this->table.": change<br>";
        $row = $this->where(['queueID'=>$queueID])->first();
        echo $this->table.": query<br>";
        $this->setTable($row['ticketIDprefix']);
        echo $this->table.": query change<br>";
        $this->table = $row['ticketIDprefix'];
        echo $this->table.": direct assignment<br>";
        return ['ticketTypeName'=>$row['ticketTypeName'], 'ticketTypeDescription'=>$row['ticketTypeDescription']];
    } 


controller code:

PHP Code:

     $model2 = new Protoengine();
     $tableInfo = $model2->changeTable(48); 


(the code is, obviously, peppered with debugging stuff)
The output is:

Code:

TN: start
ticketTypeData: change
ticketTypeData: query
PH: query change
PH: direct assignment
PH: enter
PH: change 2
PH: post query
SELECT * FROM `ticketTypeData` LIMIT 10

The model sees the change from TN to ticketTypeData to PH (as it should) - however the query in the getTickets() function should be calling the PH table and not the ticketTypeData table.

why?

When working with multiple tables you should always call.

PHP Code:

$this->table->clear(); 


Before setting up a table again.

When working with multiple tables you should always call.

Tried it two ways:

PHP Code:

$this->table->clear(); 


resulted in:

Code:

Call to a member function clear() on string

(which makes sense, $this->table is a string)

and:

PHP Code:

$this->clear(); 


resulted in:

Code:

BadMethodCallException

I looked for the clear() function in the database system folder, didn't find it. I found a clear() function in the email and the table array parts of the system folder, but nothing under database.

So, still looking for an answer to this if anyone has any ideas.

I added:

PHP Code:

$this->from($this->table, true); 


After the setTable for the new table and it did the job. The setTable function *should* be doing this in the set table in the framework as I can't see a logical reason to not have the table change when a setTable function is called.

The clear method is part of the table library, you can find it there.
