Zend Framework fetchAll

Question

Can i override fetchall method in a model? I need to check sth everytime fetchAll is called. The model extends Zend_db_table_abstract

Answer 1

To override this method you would need to subclass the Zend_Db_Table_Abstract. Like so:

<?php
abstract class My_Db_Table_Abstract extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
    ...

    public function fetchAll($where, $order)
    {
        ...
    }

    ...
}

Then make sure your models extend My_Db_Table_Abstract instead. This way, you will always inherit your overridden fetchAll method.

Answer 2

Yes. Just define a new fetchAll() method in your model with the same construction as the Zend_db_table_abstract method (ie same input / output) then at the end of your method call the parent method:

parent::fetchAll($params)
