Below is an example of how to retrieve all active users from the database and print their name.

// Connect to our SQLite database
fORMDatabase::attach(new fDatabase('sqlite', '/path/to/database'));

// Create an object to represent rows in the database
class User extends fActiveRecord {
    // Return an iterable set of User objects
    public static function findActive() {
        return fRecordSet::build(
            'User',                            // Make User objects
            array('status=' => 'Active'),      // That are active
            array('date_registered' => 'desc') // Ordered by registration date
        );
    }
}

// Loop through and display the users' names
foreach (User::findActive() as $user) {
    echo $user->prepareFirstName() . ' ' . $user->prepareLastName() . '<br />';
}

This example shows how to upload an image, resize it, and make a thumbnail.

// Create an fUpload object to handle the file upload
$uploader = new fUpload();

// Require the user upload an image (with MIME type checking server-side)
$uploader->setMIMETypes(
	array('image/jpeg', 'image/gif', 'image/png'),
	'Please upload a .jpg, .png, or .gif image'
);

// Move the image and then resize to fit a 500x300 canvas
$image = $uploader->move('/path/to/images', 'image')
                  ->resize(500, 300)
                  ->saveChanges();

// Create a 32x32 thumbnail of the image
$thumb = $image->duplicate('/path/to/thumbs')
               ->cropToRatio(1,1)
               ->resize(32,32)
               ->saveChanges();
