Kohana convert database object to int

i have two values. one represents a number of objects

$a = $product->count_all();

and the other represents a value from the database: 

$first = Model::factory('product')->sale($sale_id)->find();

i need the sum between the two. the second returns the first id that satsfies the query conditions. how can i convert the $first variable to int in kohana or how can i make this sum?? thank you!

  1. Use $_ignored_columns for it:

    protected $_ignored_columns = array('count');

    So, you can initialize it ($first->count = $a;) and get as a model column ($count = $first->count;).

  2. Create special method get_count() in your model:

    protected $_row_count;

public function get_count()
{
    if ( $this->_row_count === NULL)
    {
         $this->_row_count = ORM::factory($this->_object_name)->count_all();
    }

    return $this->_row_count;
}
