Can a model contains business validation operations or low level data handling stuff ? - El Forum - 05-12-2011

Hello,
I know model is for data management from a bd (for insert, update, select, etc.) but can a model also contains low level methods ?
Example: I have an insert_entry(...) from an user model but that should only insert data to the DB. I would'nt encrypt the password in this method.. i may want a method that is called create_user instead that do this job and do some others stuff such send an email.
Does that go in the model or that should go in a library?
Thanks.

I prefer to keep "single responsibility principle". A class should have one, and only one, reason to change.
