Hi zenders,
After a question about sending mail from controller or model (it is here<http://zend-framework-community.634137.n4.nabble.com/send-mail-notices-from-the-controller-or-model-td3319085.html>*) I got some unexpected answers. Jurian mentioned about a service approach. After this post I made some search about services and found this article<http://www.angryobjects.com/2009/03/30/writing-robust-php-backends-with-zend-framework/>** Leendert Brouwer's article was on something totally new for me. Because it was adding a new layer to MVC, a service layer. domain objects and mappers are also new to me. I searched the web for documents about this new concept but I found nearly no helpful resource. I need some valuable resource and coding and structuring samples about this approach. More importantly I need your opinions about this approach. Why ZF don't ship with a service layer or default mapper? Are they really needed or they just increase the complexity? --- * http://zend-framework-community.634137.n4.nabble.com/send-mail-notices-from-the-controller-or-model-td3319085.html ** http://www.angryobjects.com/2009/03/30/writing-robust-php-backends-with-zend-framework/
