Model not saving related records

Screw it. I'm getting nowhere so I've just reverted back to doing individual delete() and save() calls on the items. The transactional nature is lost.

You can get more info about that here: https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/models.html#storing-related-records

I know about that page. I was essentially doing the same thing as the second example, but nothing was being saved. I've moved on though, so it's a bit of a moot point.

Have you ever unit tested deleting the hasManyToMany with

array(
     'foreignKey' => array(
          'action' => Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Relation::ACTION_CASCADE
      )
)

seems not to work.

It only worked for me if I manually delete the connected table and the child model like

$parent = ParentModel::findFirst();
foreach($parent->children as $child){
    $link = ParentChildLink::findFirst(array("parentId = ?0 and childId = ?1","bind" => array($parent->id,$child->id)));
    $link->delete();
    $child->delete();
}
$parent->delete();

+1 In version 1.2.5 don't work as in documentation. Work when adding one element like in example one song (https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/models.html#storing-related-records), but when trying add array of songs don't want to work. Not adding anything.

Since I recently ran into a similar problem I found this thread. My setup is:

• phalcon 1.3.1
• apache 2.2.26
• php 5.5.13
• OS X Mavericks

Here's what I found experimenting with this. Lower case aliases ('artists', 'songs') don't seem to work whereas upper case aliases ('Artists', 'Songs') do.

To add one element this worked:

$this->Elements = $element;

To add multiple elements this worked:

$elements = array($element1, $element2);
$this->Elements = $elements;

After that I had to save the object before accessing the elements again. When I didn't, phalcon would just return a result set with only the elements already in the database.

Am I doing something seriously wrong or what?

I was having the same problem and after I saw Nates post, I was able to save a relation.
