PhpOrient - recordCreate()

This method creates a record on the database.

Creating Records

Eventually, you'll want your application to programmatically add records to OrientDB. Using this method you can create a new record and insert it into the database.

Syntax

$client->recordCreate(<record>)

• <record> Defines the record to create, it is an instance of Record().

Example

For instance, say that you are developing a web application to manage blogs for multiple users. When the user is ready to publish a blog entry to the site, you might use a function such as this to handle creating the new record on the database.

// POST FUNCTION
function postBlog($title, $text, $user){

    // LOG OPERATION
    echo "Posting Blog: $title, for $user\n";

    // FETCH GLOBAL PHPORIENT CLIENT
    global $client;

    // BUILD RECORD CONTENT
    $recordContent = [
        'title': $title,
        'author': $user,
        'text': $text];

    // BUILD RECORD
    $record = (new Record() )->setOData($recordContent)->setOClass("Blog")->setRid(new ID(9));

    // CREATE RECORD
    $client->recordCreate($record);
}

Note, when creating new Record() objects, you only set the Cluster ID component of the Record ID. This helps avoid unexpected results when the record is created on the database in the next line.
