I just read this http://weierophinney.net/matthew/archives/184-Speaking-at-ZendCon-2008.html blog post from Matthew, and saw the link to the QuickStart:
* http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Official+ZF+QuickStart http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Official+ZF+QuickStart I found something that I find disturbing. In the form handler, I saw this: if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {... (this is in the http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Official+ZF+QuickStart#OfficialZFQuickStart-BuildaForm Build a Form section) Isn't this a little too overcomplicated ? I also like the well-arranged and tidy OOP syntax, but this seems too much for me. I don't mean to criticize, but I want to figure out what's the logic behind a line of code like that. What would justify the extra cycles for stacking the function calls, and passing the request object, against plain old "equals" check , like: if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { ... I understand that there are a lot of ways to do a job, but in this case this doesn't seem like a "best practice" to me.
