Zend get foreign ID from login table - zend-framework

Question

I am using Zend and Doctrine to login using a table containing also a foreign ID to another table. I need to get this ID in order to use it in a Doctrine query (through the controller) to the database like this:
$q = Doctrine_Query::create()
->from('Lost_Model_Item i')
->where('i.StatID = ?', 'I need the ID here')
$result = $q->fetchArray();
I have tried to get it like this:
Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getIdentity()->ID
But it seems to not work. I am new to Zend and a bit lost here. Could you please help?
As I ma working with doctrine I have created an adapter as follow:
public function authenticate()
{
$q = Doctrine_Query::create()
->from('Lost_Model_Station u')
->where('u.username = ? AND u.password = MD5(?)',
array($this->username, $this->password)
);
$result = $q->fetchArray();
if (count($result) == 1) {
$this->_resultArray = $result[0];
return new Zend_Auth_Result(
Zend_Auth_Result::SUCCESS, $this->username, array());
} else {
return new Zend_Auth_Result(
Zend_Auth_Result::FAILURE, null,
array('Authentication unsuccessful')
);
}
}

Answer 1

How about using getIdentity to get the username and then use a sql join on Lost_Model_Item and Lost_Model_Station
$q = Doctrine_Query::create()
->from('Lost_Model_Item i')
->leftJoin('i.Lost_Model_Station u')
->where('u.username = ?', Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getIdentity())
$result = $q->fetchArray();
This assumes that there is a doctrine "hasOne" relation defined for Lost_Model_Station (in the base class):
public function setUp()
{
parent::setUp();
$this->hasOne('Lost_Model_Item', array(
'local' => 'StatID',
'foreign' => 'whatever_id_StatID_relates_to'));
}

Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getIdentity()->ID
well you got what you store in Identity . You need to post the code where you ask user to login . Because there you are not storing the ID inside the session storage which Zend_Auth uses . Basically do this there
$row = $this->_adapter->getResultRowObject();
Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getStorage()->write($row);
where $this->_adapter is
$this->_adapter = new Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable();
$this->_adapter->setTableName('users')
->setIdentityColumn('email')
->setCredentialColumn('password');
