    1. COOkay, let me clarify a little, because I think in trying to simplify the question, people aren't understanding the heart of it. So here goes: I'm using Zend Framework, which means that I often am using models (for those that don't know they're essentially a quick way to insert/update/whatever with a database). I often call, for example, Users->insertNewUser() in one of my controllers. If it is successful, it returns a Zend_Db_Table_Rowset. However, lets say that username already existed. I don't want to just return false, because that won't tell me what went wrong.

    3. COInstead I've created an object called modelResult, that carries with it the reason that the model failed to perform it's function. What I want is to be able to, back in the controller, be able to say $result = Users->insertNewUser(). if($result){return $result} else{ (CHECK WHAT WENT WRONG AND SAY WHY)}. I know I could do this by checking $result's type. I know there are a ton of ways I could do this. But, I was just wondering if I could make my ModelResult object return false because it would just be a lot easier to use. Is there a way to do this? If the answer is no, then I'll manage.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
