  9. Phinx /** * Migrate Up. */ public function up() {

    $users = $this->table('users'); $users->addColumn('username', ‘string’, array('limit' => 20)) ->addColumn('password', ‘string’, array('limit' => 40)) ->addColumn('salt', 'string', array('limit' => 40)) ->addColumn('email', ‘string’, array('limit' => 100)) ->addIndex(array('username', ‘email’), array('unique' => true)) ->save(); }
  10. Phinx /** * Migrate Down. */ public function down() {
