new PersonSet($parms)

Up: class PersonSet

The constructor for an instance of PersonSet takes one parameter:

parameter	description
$parms	identifies the database records to be associated with this instance. This is an array.

$parms may be:

• an associative array of fieldname => value pairs to define the subset of the records in the SQL table that are represented by this instance.
• an array of instances of the class Person to be converted into a RecordSet.
• If this parameter is omitted, or is null, the object is empty. That is $set->count() is zero.

The field names that may be specified in the associative array format include:

field name	description	synonyms
'limit'	maximum number of entries to return
'offset'	offset for retrieving part of the response set
'orderby'	value of the ORDER BY clause to override the default from class Person
'groupby'	value of the GROUP BY clause

For example:

 $set       = new PersonSet(array('surname' => 'Grover'));

returns all instances of Person for the specified surname.

The constructor adds error messages to $record->msg if it is unable to complete due to bad parameters.
