As I am going through my evaluation of this framework, I have a question about active records and forms. Now I am just trying to build a simple blog and I have an active record object called BlogPost. Now it seems like you have 2 different types of models, Active Record and Form. I assume that it would make more sense to use the Form model when I need to process a form, correct? Now for my main question, is it possible to somehow automatically link a form model to an active record model so I could create the form model, populate its data, validate it, and then if it passes validation, save that form model to a database table that is linked my active record model?
something like this:
$model = new BlogPostForm();
if(isset($_POST['BlogPostForm']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['BlogPostForm'];
if($model->validate())
{
BlogPost::saveFromFormModel($model);
}
}
