You can always provide a base class other than AppModel that contains
the extra methods you need for text processing.
class TextModel extends AppModel {
function textProcessing(){...}
}
class Article extends TextModel
{
function save(...){
$this->textProcessing(...);
...
}
}
or create other classes as needed, cakePHP still handles regular old
PHP without any problems
class TextProcessor {
function textProcessing(...){...}
}
-- model/article.php
require "textProcessor.php";
class Article extends AppModel {
function save(...){
$textProcessor = new TextProcessor();
$textProcessor->textProcessing();
}
}
