Recently, Lorna Mitchell has ben working with Zend Framework and Zend_Db_* to get a project up and running. She ran into some early problems figuring out how things are supposed to be put together. Once she did figure it out, she posted it to her blog for all to share in a post titled Introduction to Zend_Db

I recently worked on a project which was based on Zend Framework – I haven’t worked with it before and I was temporarily confused by the existing implementation of some of the database-level stuff. After much reading and untangling of code, I’m now pretty clear how this should look, so here’s my overview. I’m not going to go into setting up a whole application, but this is a quick primer on how data models go together.

If you are just starting to work with Zend Framework, it’s a good post to read over.
