===== Parameters ===== 
====$class ====
This string represents the class of the current active record
==== $table ====
Table used by the active record object
==== $whereOrderBy====
 Where, order, by clause
==== $bindarr ====
For more information on the use of ''Bind'' variables, see [[v5:reference:connection:execute]]
==== $primaryKeyArray ====
 
==== $queryExtras ====
Query extras: limit, offset...
==== $relationsData ====

==== Usage ====
<code php>
class Product extends ADOdb_Active_Record{};
$table = 'products';
$whereOrderBy = "name LIKE 'A%' ORDER BY Name";
$activeRecArr = $db->getActiveRecordsClass('Product',
                                            $table,
                                            $whereOrderBy);

/*
* the objects in $activeRecArr are of class 'Product'
*/
foreach($activeRecArr as $rec) {
	$rec->id = rand();
	$rec->save();
}
</code>

To use bind variables (assuming ? is the place-holder for your database):
<code php>

$activeRecArr = $db->getActiveRecordsClass($className,$tableName, 'name LIKE ?',
						array('A%'));
/*
* You can also define the primary keys of the table by passing an array of field names:
*/

$activeRecArr = $db->getActiveRecordsClass($className,$tableName, 'name LIKE ?',
						array('A%'), array('id'));

</code>
