By object chaining, I mean you can do something like this: $foo = $this->foo->bar->baz->findAll(); It requires that your class methods return objects instead of arrays. Rails does it as well, so maybe I'm calling it by the wrong name. It's a design decision when you build you objects, for sure. Me, I'm a "let's return everything as associative arrays" type of guy. -- Chris Hartjes "The greatest inefficiencies come from solving problems you will never have." -- Rasmus Lerdorf @TheBallpark - http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
