Example: class MyTable extends Horde_Rdo_Base ... $row = new MyTable(array(some values here)); $row->save(); // calls the mapper update function Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Horde_Rdo_Exception' with message 'Column 'mytable_id' cannot be null... This is happening with a fairly default Apache/PHP installation on a MacBook using MySQL. PATCH Suggest modifying the Horde_Rdo_Mapper::update function to unset the primary key before calling create on the array. The key has already been proven empty by the if statement, so I can't imagine any negative effect here. public function update($object, $fields = null) { if ($object instanceof Horde_Rdo_Base) { $key = $this->model->key; $id = $object->$key; $fields = iterator_to_array($object); if (!$id) { // Object doesn't exist yet; create it instead. unset($fields[$key]); $object = $this->create($fields); return 1; } SIDENOTE The CVS repository for Rdo seems to be missing or just not showing files: http://cvs.horde.org/framework/Rdo/Rdo/ Also, Tue, 28 Apr 2009 03:21:32 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8225#t53896 No also. Forgot to erase it. Thank you. Tue, 28 Apr 2009 03:24:00 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8225#t53897 After poking around with this a bit more, I've realized that This only happens for MySQL tables that have not set their primary key field to auto_increment. I'm still not convinced it's best form to dump an empty primary key down an insert statement, but MySQL does handle this gracefully when the table is an auto_increment table. I have not tested this on other database server types. Here is example SQL generated by Horde_Rdo_Adapter::create. INSERT INTO `mytable` (`mytable_id`, `user_uid`, `title`, `description`, `created`, `updated`) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) Values Array ( [0] => [1] => admin [2] => actually [3] => do it [4] => 1240893214 [5] => 1240893214 ) Tue, 28 Apr 2009 04:42:37 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8225#t53900 Are you really still using FRAMEWORK_3 of Rdo? That code was only a showcase for upcoming features, the latest is in Git. Tue, 28 Apr 2009 07:28:21 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8225#t53903
