beforeCopy 124 beforeCopy Delegate Class Method Return to [[Delegate class methods]] [[toc]] ===Synopsis=== A delegate class method that will be executed before a record is copied using the copy set or copy selected function. All xataface copies are shallow which means that related records are not copied by default. If you want a more complex copy function for a table you can implement functionality in this hook. Available since version 1.3 ===Signature=== <code> function beforeCopy( Dataface_Record $original, array $values); </code> ===Parameters=== * '''$original''' - The original record that is to be copied. * '''$values''' - Associative array of values that are meant to be changed in the copy. Keys correspond with column names. ===Returns=== * Either return nothing or you may return a PEAR_Error object to indicate that an error occurred with the copy. ==See Also== * [[afterCopy]] - The afterCopy hook that can be implemented in the delegate class to run just after a record is copied. beforeCopy, copy records en
