how to extend a method in a extended class

[nadeemshafi9]

hi guys

 

i am extending the zend_db_table class to make it work with a clustered db system.

 

in the child class i would like to overide a method yet preserv the parents method proceedure.

 

i owuld like to log stuff in update yet call the parents update method.

 

is this possible ?

 

how do you call a parents method ??? parent::blah blah i dont know any ideas ???

 

thanks guys

class My_Db_Table extends Zend_Db_Table
{
    public function overwriteMethod() {
        //do something
        parent::overwriteMethod();
    }
}

class My_Db_Table extends Zend_Db_Table
{
    public function overwriteMethod() {
        //do something
        parent::overwriteMethod();
    }
}

No you won't. Zend framework doesn't entirely come without it flaws, and one of the main complaints are what you are experiencing. You still need to copy-paste a serious amount of code to add some more functionality. The reason for this is because Zend framework is still in a serious development process and they don't intend to re-factor any code anytime soon. But eventually you'll be able to extend their code base without copy-pasting.
