CakePHP 1.3 without database

To use the CakePHP 1.3 without database is pretty simple, we must create a new datasource, I’ll call it “Without”, so let’s go do it.

Firstly we must set the DATABASE_CONFIG, go to the config folder and edit the database.php:

1
2
3
4
5
6

< ?php
class DATABASE_CONFIG {
 
 var $default = array('driver' => 'without');
}
?>

We defined there the driver to “without”, so let’s create the dbo_without.php inside the folder models/datasources/ with the code below:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

< ?php
class DboWithout extends DataSource {
 
public function isConnected() {
       return true;
}
 
}
?>

Just it, we just need create a method called isConnected returning it true, compared with the version 1.2 is more easy.
