====== metaForeignKeys ======
~~NOTOC~~
<WRAP right box>
== Syntax ==
    mixed metaForeignKeys(
        string $tableName,
        optional string $owner=false,
        optional bool $upperCase=false,
        optional bool $associative=false
        )
</WRAP>
===== Description =====
The function ''metaForeignKeys()'' returns an array of the foreign keys associated with a specific table. If there are no foreign keys then the function returns false.
===== Optional Parameters =====
==== $owner ====
If specified, only returns foreign keys associated with a table owned by that name. Some drivers discard this parameter
==== $upper ====
if specified, only matches the table with the uppercase name. This parameter is discarded by some drivers
==== $associative====
If specified, returns the result in associative mode. If ADODB_FETCH_MODE is already associative, then this parameter is discarded. Some drivers ignore this parameter.
===== Return Value =====
The method returns an array of data:
  *  the main key represents the foreign table that the key associated with.
  * The values of the key are either a key=>value pair, the key being the column name of the source table and the value being the column name of the foreign table if the request is ''associative'', or a numeric key with value being the same data represented as ''local column'' + '=' + ''foreign column''.

===== Usage =====
<code php>
/*
 * Connection to MySql Employees Sample database
*/
$db->setFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_NUM);

$p = $db->metaForeignKeys('dept_emp');
print_r($p);
/*
 * prints
Array
(
    [employees] => Array
        (
            [0] => emp_no=emp_no
        )

    [departments] => Array
        (
            [0] => dept_no=dept_no
        )

)
*/
</code>
==== Same Code In Associative Mode ====
<code php>
$db->setFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);

$p = $db->metaForeignKeys('dept_emp');
print_r($p);
/*
 * prints
Array
(
    [employees] => Array
        (
            [emp_no]=>emp_no
        )

    [departments] => Array
        (
            [dept_no]=>dept_no
        )

)
*/
