The Code Generator will more or less create a PHP object for each table in your database. For our three main tables (login, person and project), the Code Generator created the following PHP classes:

• Login
• LoginGen
• Person
• PersonGen
• Project
• ProjectGen

LoginGen, PersonGen and ProjectGen are the generated classes which contain all the code to handle your database CRUD (create, restore, update and delete) functionality. The Login, Person and Project classes inherit from the generated classes, and they are known as custom subclasses.

Note that on any subsequent code generation, while the generated classes will be overwritten, the custom subclasses will not be touched. So you should feel free to make changes to these custom subclasses, override methods, introduce additional functionality, etc. as well as re-execute the code generator at any time. Your changes and class customizations will remain intact.

For every object, the Code Generator will generate the getter and setter properties for each of the attributes in the table. It will also generate the following basic CRUD methods:

• Load
• LoadAll
• CountAll
• Save
• Delete

The example below shows how we can use the Load and LoadAll methods and the properties to view some the data. Feel free to View Source to view the PHP code for objects.php which makes these calls.
