JTable/bind

Description

Method to bind an associative array or object to the JTable instance. This method only binds properties that are publicly accessible and optionally takes an array of properties to ignore when binding. Binding is the process where values are copied into their equivalently named instance properties (see examples).

Syntax

bind($from, $ignore=array())

Argument	Data type	Description	Default
$from	array or object	An associative array or object to be bind to the JTable instance.
$ignore	array or string	An optional array or space separated list of properties to ignore while binding.	array()

Returns

boolean (true if bind is successful)

        if (!$fromArray && !$fromObject)
