<?php
class Phil extends Controller {
function Phil()
{
parent::Controller();
}
function index()
{
$this->load->database();
$this->load->dbforge();
// a manual test is required with postgresql, IF EXISTS in version 8.2
If ($this->db->table_exists('phil'))
{
echo " table named phil exists";
echo "<br/>";
$this->dbforge->drop_table('phil');
echo "dropped table named phil";
}else{
echo "table did not exist";
}
$fields = array(
'id'=>array(
'type'=> 'SERIAL'),
'mms'=>array(
'type'=> 'INT',//note no size required
'null'=> TRUE),
'testing'=>array(
'type'=>'VARCHAR',
'constraint'=>'32',
'null'=>FALSE), );
$this->dbforge->add_field($fields);
$this->dbforge->create_table('phil');
If ($this->db->table_exists('phil'))
{
echo "<br/>";
echo "created table named phil";
// not working on first pass
// ie . if no table at start
// table IS created but NOT (echo) reported here
// works ok, if table existed at start
}
}
}
?>
