POZend Framework: Using Models and Views, best practices
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm relatively new to Object Oriented Programming. I pretty much understand the concepts, but practically speaking, I am having a really hard time finding information about how to best use Models in my Zend Framework applications.</p> <p>Specifically, I have a Model (that doesn't extend anything) that doesn't use a Database Table. It uses getters and setters to access its protected members. I find myself struggling with how to best display this model in the view. I don't want logic in my view templates, but I find myself in the following situation:</p> <p>In my controller:</p> <pre><code>$object = new Object(); $object->setName('Foo Bar'); $this->view->object = $object; </code></pre> <p>In my view template:</p> <pre><code><h2><?= $this->object->getName() ?></h2> </code></pre> <p>I don't really like calling functions in my view templates but I don't know a better way to do this. I don't want my Model's members to be public, but I basically want to achieve the same results:</p> <pre><code><h2><?= $this->object->name ?></h2> </code></pre> <p>I don't want my controller to do all the work of having to know everything about the model:</p> <pre><code>$object = new Object(); $object->setName('Foo Bar'); $this->view->object = $object; $this->view->object->name = $object->getName(); </code></pre> <p>What is the best practice of using models in the Zend Framework? Can anyone recommend any tutorial that would help me understand this Model/View dilemma in Zend Framework?</p>
