Question

currently i am doing a project in zend the way i am doing is working perfectly but i am sure its not the way i am suppose to do i mean i am not following MVC and i want to apply MVC in my zend app.
i am pasting code of one simple module which will describe what i am doing .kindly correct me where i am making faults.

my controller

class ContactsController extends Zend_Controller_Action{

   public function contactsAction(){
    if(!Zend_Auth::getInstance()->hasIdentity()){
          $this->_redirect('login/login');
      }
      else{

       $request                = $this->getRequest();
       $user                   = new Zend_Session_Namespace('user');
       $phone_service_id       = $user->p_id;

       $instance               = new Contacts();
       $select                 = $instance->Get_Contacts($p_id);

       $adapter                = new Zend_Paginator_Adapter_DbSelect($select);
       $paginator              = new Zend_Paginator($adapter);
       .
               .
       //more code
   }

plz note this 2 line in my controller

$instance               = new Contacts();
$select                 = $instance->Get_Contacts($pid);

this is my contacts class in models

class Contacts extends Zend_Db_Table{

function Get_Contacts($p_id){
    $DB = Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::getDefaultAdapter();

    $select = $DB->select()
         ->from('contact', array('contact_id','contact_first_name','contact_mobile_no','contact_home_no','contact_email','contact_office_no'))
         ->where('pid = ?', $p_id)
         ->order('date_created DESC');

         return $select;
    }
    }

after this i simple assign my result to my view.

note please
as its working but there is not private data members in my class,my class is not a blue print.there are no SETTERS AND GETTERS .how can i make my code that best suits MVC and OOP??
