The DB yes, but if you design the DB correctly and want your models tightly coupled with the DB, then it is an useless step to create the model yourself. Zend has a Zend_Tool script in the incubator that does project and some code gen. Reading the plans they plan to include model generation as well. It will probably be a while in coming though. To me, right now Zend is just a more professional and consistent PEAR, but with fewer features. -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
