I started following the gateway() approach then read the next posts.
I'm thinking about making a model class and extending my models from that. The model class will have all the db_table methods like insert, update etc. My models will then all extend from the model class so that they have all the original table methods available. In the constructor or some init method or something they will set the corresponding db_table object for use. On 7/12/07, Ian Warner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I create my models, and then spit the data to a View Helper called Table Render This table render utilises PEAR Structures so I can expose the data in many different ways, including an HTML table, CSV, XML, Excel, PDF etc. Just another abstraction layer to help with reporting, it also does paging, filtering and header ordering Would be nice if Zend could create somthing similar to this that binds in with the framework Ian Brian Caspe wrote: > I've had a question about this too, though specifically it doesn't > really deal with pulling one "book".
