If you would like to extend the framework, you can write your own class that extends the framework classes.

For instance, you might want to extend the DooValidator. You can write your own validator class in protected/class

Doo::loadHelper('DooValidator');

classs MyValidator extends DooValidator{
     //..??your extended code..
}

And then you can use your extended class in controller:

Doo::loadClass('MyValidator');

DooPHP version 1.2 is released! It now comes with better ORM tools and data validation along with code generation to make things easier!

The benchmark comparison of using the original Doo::db() and the new DooModel.

Noticeable New Features in v1.2:

• Enhanced Database ORM for shorter and more elegant code. Your current model classes can extend DooModel for addon ORM functionailities.
• Smart Model Cache (DooSmartModel) for automated data model cache management. It is a smarter version of DooModel. Cache can be stored as file based, php vars, APC, XCache, Memcache, EAccelerator.
• Form/Model Validation for data validation before saving/creating/deleting DB records. Validation rules can be generated with the Model generator.
• Better Native PHP template support for those who do not use the template engine. Read the API doc for DooView.
• And several bug fixes plus enhancements.

View the complete features and changes in the CHANGELOG file in the latest source.

See DooPHP database demo's MainController::test() and the API doc for DooModel for example usage of the enhanced ORM tools.
