Datamapper ORM v 1.80 huge Array - El Forum - 05-07-2011

Hi,
I'm using Datamapper ORM v 1.80.
And realised that it returns a huge array
here is my code:
Code:
$user= new User('id',1);
print_r($user);
die('ok');Im searching only for the user with id 1
The table Users has about 15 fields
and at this moment there are only 2 records inside the table.
yet it will return a page or two long full of array objects.
I can see that amongst the array objects is also my codeigniter main config file?? and datamappers config Items..

Try to understand how PHP, and CodeIgniter work.
In PHP5, all objects are assigned by reference. This means that although you see them when you access a Datamapper object, they are not copies, and don't take up memory.
CodeIgniter works by assigning all objects as singletons to $this, so a var_dump($this) will show you pages and pages of object information. All other objects that access CI ( either via an automatic mechanism or through get_instance() ) use references.
So obviously you'll see all this when you dump a Datamapper object. Because Datamapper accesses the database, language, and form validation libraries, which in turn have links to several other libraries.
