$relationsData

Usage

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();
}

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

$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'));
