Hello, coming from OO Java programming, I'm getting a little bit disoriented with the array usage in PHP... they are almost everywhere and just would like to ask and share with you how you handle this.
I have a very simple application for creating new Articles. I have an Article class, with fields, getters and setters. I am using Zend_Db as a gateway to database table. When I need to find an article, I do: Article::findById(id) what would you make it return? It returns an array with the keys named as the article'fields, and it returns an array because the Zend_Db select query does return an array... Would you make it return an object? That would mean I have to transform the array into an Article class object. When I need to return a list of articles, also I'm returning an array of arrays... Same problem here, but here I would be fine with arrays since I just want a list to display and have nothing to do onto those list of article. When I have to create and save a new article I do: $article = new Article() $article.save() Zend_Db insert now expects an array so I do build an array from the article object here to pass to the insert method. Hope my doubts are clear and not off topic :) Thank you for sharing any suggestions or ideas. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Object-Oriented-and-dealing-with-array-coming-from-Zend_Db-and-Zend_Form-tp18142182p18142182.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
