Keeping this functionality in one class makes sense to me. The main change we'd need to make to our code is changing lines like:
$db = Zend::registry('db'); to: $db = Zend_Registry::registry('db'); I guess I could suggest simplifying the register/registry method names since the duplication of the word "registry" is a little verbose. If this is in its own class presumably this would be as good?.. $db = Zend_Registry::get('db'); and: Zend_Registry::set('db', $db); best wishes, Si
