I see these methods return *$this *for *fluent *interfaces. I guess providing get*() methods to return arrays (by reference) would leave their functionality intact. We particularly need access to where, from and join clauses so a single/*universal *method, say - getPart(), should do the trick. Eg:
$where *=& *$select->getPart( 'where' ) TIA On 12/13/06, Shekar C Reddy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I wish I were in a better position to elaborate on this one but my responses are limited due to NDA.I was pulled over recently for not honoring my contract :-( For now, I'll suffice it to say that we merge/consolidate from, join and where clauses dynamically based on some conditions. This is just to say the issue was not vague and I'll leave it to the discretion of Zend developers to implement it or not. Even if these methods return the previously set values as-is (eg: arrays), that would reduce a large chunk of code in our application. As it is, these methods in the select component function as set-methods while the get methods are missing and I thought we could toggle their functionality to return the originally set values if the arguments passed while invoking them were empty.
