sfMixer relies on stuff that's really only intended for PHP debugging
and is not supported in better, faster PHP runtimes with bytecode
caching. Or something like that... I gather. (:
You could do this:
class betterForm extends sfForm
{
// Cool stuff
}
And in your own form classes, write this:
class myForm extends betterForm
{
// An actual form
}
But that won't work for doctrine (or propel) autogenerated forms. They
extend sfDoctrineForm which extends sfForm.
Fabien's new dependency injection framework could solve this perhaps.
Or wait for traits (or grafts?) to appear in PHP 5.4.
Otherwise... well, you could jump ship to Ruby or Scala which have
real mixin support now... (I'm not planning to do that myself, but
it's one of the choices. (: )
