Question

Suppose I have this models

• User.class.php
• userTable.class.php

I want to create a method to update the user

Action

class userActions extends sfActions {

public function executeUpdateUser(sfWebRequest $request) {
     $user_id = $request->getParameter('id');
     // here i want to call function to update the user 
     // updateUser($id);
}

Where should I put this function updateUser($id) ?

ON user.class.php –> And call it like that User::updateUser($id);

OR ON userTable.class.php –> And call it like that Doctrine_Core::getTable('User')->updateUser($id);

Answer 1

I’d do it this way :

$user = Doctrine_Core::getTable('User')->find($user_id);
$user->updateWithData($data); // ::update() is already an existing method
$user->save();

or

$user = Doctrine_Core::getTable('User')->find($user_id);
$user->updateWithDataAndSave($data);
