$family->addChild($idir)

Up: class Family

This factory method is used to associate an instance of class Person as a child of this instance of Family.

It has one parameter:

parameter	description
$idir	If this is an integer value it is the unique identifier of an instance of Person. Otherwise it may be an instance of Person.

This returns an instance of class Child. If the identifier Person is already a child of this Family then this is an existing instance, otherwise it is necessary for the calling code to save the instance to the database.

$child          = $family->addChild($idir);
if (!$child->isExisting())
    $child->save();

The method throws an exception if the parameter is invalid.
