Process a new message The same logic that we used to determine whether the user should see a post form is what we need to use to determine if we should process a status update or public message submission. Status model To save the status update or public profile post in the database we will need a status model as with our previous models this simply needs to represent the fields from the database with setter methods for these fields and a save method to insert a new record into the database. In the future we may wish to extend this to pull in statuses from the database and save changes to them as well as deleting statuses perhaps if the owner of the message or the owner of the profile the message was posted on wishes to edit or delete it. The following is suitable code for our status model models php Status model class Status The registry object private registry 202 Download from Chapter 7 Statuses ID private id Poster of the status update profile message private poster The profile the status update profile message was posted on private profile Type of status private type The update profile message itself private update Reference for the type of status private typeReference update Constructor @param Registry registry the registry object @param int id ID of the status update profile message return void public function construct Registry registry id 0 this- registry registry this- id 0 Set the poster of the status profile message ------------------------------ 203 .
