Hello

I`ve been wondering this one thing about creating models. If I make for example Page model. Is it the both: It can retrieve one row from the table or all the rows. Somehow Im mixing the objects and the database.

I have thought it like this: I would have to make a Page-class that would represent one row in the table. It also would have all the basic CRUD-methods.

Then I would have to do a Pages-class (somekind of collection) that would retrieve rows from the table and instantiate a Page object from each row. Is this kind of weird?

If someone could explain to me the idea of model throughout.. Im again confused.

Maybe Im thinking the whole OOP too difficult..

And by the way this forum is great. Hopefully people will just understand my problems. Heh. I was a long time procedural style programmer and now in 3 months I have dived into OOP and MVC and PHP frameworks and I just get more excited day by day when I explore this stuff!
