Component extending CActiveRecord

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi

I need to have a class extending CActiveRecord.

I want to make it a component, in which case it would have to be a subclass of CComponent, right?

However PHP doesn’t have multiple inheritance, so I’m not sure how to subclass from both. This seems like it would be a fairly common problem faced by Yii developers. Is there a fairly standard (non-kludgy) solution to this?

Thanks!

CActiveRecord extends CModel, which extends CComponent, so you should be alright to just extend CActiveRecord.

Thank ye kindly!

It didn’t occur to me to look for such a possibility, will try to be more aware of such approaches next time.
