Description

It would be great to have an 'init' method to use for overridden objects so that the constructor doesn't need to be altered.

Assign to me.

Categorize as Zend_Db_Table.

This would be a very simple addition to each of the classes, but what is an example use case for it? I can't think of any.

Having a clear use case is important, but as a side comment I want to point out that although one could write a solution as follows with no "hooks":


class MyTable extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
  public function __construct($options)
  {
    // pre-init code
    parent::__construct($options);
    // post-init code
  }
}

However, "Call Super" is considered an anti-pattern: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_super

Assigning to [~peptolab] to be resolved with the approved Zend_Db_Table enhancements proposal.
