# Custom Feed and Entry Classes Finally, you can extend the Zend_Feed classes if you'd like to provide your own format or niceties like automatic handling of elements that should go into a custom namespace. Here is an example of a custom Atom entry class that handles its own myns: namespace entries. Note that it also makes the registerNamespace() call for you, so the end user doesn't need to worry about namespaces at all. Example #1 Extending the Atom Entry Class with Custom Namespaces /** * The custom entry class automatically knows the feed URI (optional) and * can automatically add extra namespaces. */ class MyEntry extends Zend_Feed_Entry_Atom { public function __construct($uri = 'http://www.example.com/myfeed/', $xml = null) { parent::__construct($uri, $xml); Zend_Feed::registerNamespace('myns', 'http://www.example.com/myns/1.0'); } public function __get($var) { switch ($var) { case 'myUpdated': // Translate myUpdated to myns:updated. return parent::__get('myns:updated'); default: return parent::__get($var); } } public function __set($var, $value) { switch ($var) { case 'myUpdated': // Translate myUpdated to myns:updated. parent::__set('myns:updated', $value); break; default: parent::__set($var, $value); } } public function __call($var, $unused) { switch ($var) { case 'myUpdated': // Translate myUpdated to myns:updated. return parent::__call('myns:updated', $unused); default: return parent::__call($var, $unused); } } } Then to use this class, you'd just instantiate it directly and set the myUpdated property: $entry = new MyEntry(); $entry->myUpdated = '2005-04-19T15:30'; // method-style call is handled by __call function $entry->myUpdated(); // property-style call is handled by __get function $entry->myUpdated;
