MVC Modal Class

[Liquid Fire]

I have built a modal class for my MVC framework which has the following features:

• merge: so I can take data from one object and replace it without another object if the merging object has that data, if not is will keep the object it is merging to
  
• set/get functions with __call to get and set data.
  
• set data members function which basically create a list off all data members based of the database data map array you set up for each model
  
• save method which will automatically know whether or not you need to insert into the database or just update the database.
  
• load_by_primary_key function which loads a record by the primary key.
  

 

what other function do you think might be useful for a model class to have

Is there any reason you didn't just use __set & __get instead of __call for those types of methods.  I can think of one, but I'm just curious as to the actual reason.
