Really Long Names in Enum
14 May 2011 at 2:45am
This might be a dumb question but...
I've got an enum with really long names in it...
'Type'=>"Enum('ReallyReallyReallyLongNameA,ReallyReallyReallyLongNameB,ReallyReallyReallyLongNameC,ReallyReallyReallyLongNameD,ReallyReallyReallyLongNameE,ReallyReallyReallyLongNameF,ReallyReallyReallyLongNameG','ReallyReallyReallyLongNameG')",
...it's getting far too long and really annoying, is there another way to specify these or should I start make ABR (abreviations) for them? -

I would recommend using abbreviations and have a map somewhere in your PHP which maps the abbreviated version to the full version if you need. That or just don't use enums (just use strings) and store the list of strings elsewhere.

Found an answer to this... if you switch it to be an array then it can parse line breaks as each item is quoted - happy days!
Example...
static $db = array(
'Name' => 'Varchar(255)',
'Type' => "Enum(
'array(
'General',
'Cancel'
),
,'General')",
);
