In the Zend Framework, several objects provide a <code>toArray</code> method, but that is not always sufficient as sometimes you'd like to keep with the <code>$object-&gt;varname</code> syntax.</p> <p>That is where the Transfer Object arrives. While the preceding definition is not exact (that's not the real purpose of the Transfert Object in the J2EE spirit), This is the most common use that PHP Developers can make of it nowadays I think. So I came up with a <a href="http://svn.riskle.com/library/Riskle/Pattern/TransferObject.php">very light implementation of a concept</a> which I hope can prove useful for any folks getting by there.</p> <p>See also:</p> <ul> <li>Martin Fowler's <a href="http://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/valueObject.html">Value Object</a> and <a href="http://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/dataTransferObject.html">Data Transfer Object</a></li> <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/TransferObject.html">The Transfert Object as a Core J2EE Pattern</a></li> </ul> http://mirmodynamics.com/post/2007/08/11/Stripping-the-logic%3A-the-Transfert-Object#comment-form http://mirmodynamics.com/post/2007/08/11/Stripping-the-logic%3A-the-Transfert-Object#comment-form http://mirmodynamics.com/feed/atom/comments/925
