Question about the use of Zend_Db_Table_abstract

Hello Everyone,

I was reading throug a zend presentation about using Zend_Db_... in combination with the MVC concept. This is the presentation i'm talking about: Zend Framework + Database Database Access - Fullscreen

I am currently playing around to implement this concept myself.

What I understand that i need to do is:

PHP Code:


			
class person extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract{}

Now I can use something like:

PHP Code:


			
$pers = new person($db);

$allPers = $pers->find(123);

Why can't i do that from within my class person. To define a function selectOne() or something like that. I don't want to access my db with queries from within my controller.

You can do that from class.

PHP Code:


			
class person extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
    protected $_name = 'person_table-name';
}

That should allow $pers->find(123); to work.
