Then you can write code like this: > > $obj = new myclass(42); > $cached = new caching_proxy_object($obj); Hmm, is there a way to write a generic proxy class that can stand in for any class? I mean, if you call $cached->dosomething() how do you spare yourself to implement a dosomething() method in the proxy object? All methods in $cached would be implemented the same way: ob_start(), proxy call to $obj->dosomething(), then ob_get_contents() and ob_end_clear(). Do we already have _delegate() methods in Zend? That is, is there already a way to specifiy a method that gets called before Zend complains that there is no dosomething() method in $cached and that can intercept the error message? If so, it is indeed possible to write generic proxy objects, otherwise you need to generate distinct code for each proxy class.
