Building on the excellent Zend_Db abstraction classes, this component provides a strong base structure for implementing database-based domain models in the Zend Framework.
The module adds missing functionality, not found by default with the base Zend Framework package.
Here are some key features of "ZF Database Model / Mapper":
· Integrated user input validation and filtering using Zend_Filter_Input. This decouples the validation / filtering rules from specific forms, allowing re-use in many different scenarios.
· Extends Lionite_Db_Table relationships to allow abstraction of Join operations, creating more semantic and concise query methods
· Helper utilities for counting total rows and pages for complicated queries
Requirements:
· Zend Framework

· Added PHPUnit tests.
