[quote author="OverZealous.com" date="1241598736"]You almost had it:

Code:

if($r->product->get_by_id($p->id)->exists()) {
...

The exists() function — which just checks to see if $object->id is not empty() — was designed for that purpose. It is part of the core DataMapper.

But im not sure if there is a way to get a true false response without having to access the attributes and just use the objects themselves..

Also, I'm not sure what you meant by that.

Otherwise, there is no method within DM that is specifically designed to see if two objects are related.[/quote]

Yeah, I noticed I got it wrong and fixed it already, thank you... and you got my question right, I was asking if there was a method that checked if two objects where related, but it doesnt matter, this works ok... I have a problem still though.. why is it that in some cases datamapper assumes it has to update instead of insert... whats the logic behind it??.. for some reason its trying to update an entry whereas I just want to insert it for the first time.... this is whats happening

Code:

$session=new Session();
$session->get_by_id("somestring");
if(!$session->exists())
{
$session->id="thesamestringasbefore"
$session->save();
}

when the exists returns false it tries to update instead of create.
