Question

i was wondering about where Zends functionality comes from when inside of a controller i call

$this->getRequest()->isPost()

It works, but i do not find where this “isPost()” function comes from.

I just noticed it because i don’t have intellisense for that.

Question is:
Is this merely some fallback function that “newbie users” use apart from a better alternative?
Or is it perfectly valid using it?

Thanks 🙂

It is the official way to go, you can use it. Check the source code of Zend_Controller_Request_Http::isPost() to see what it really is doing, if you’d like 🙂
