Can you be more specific here? Do you mean how can you access an abstract method from another class in a Zend_Form subclass?

You cannot instantiate abstract classes directly but you can access them if they are declared static or if you subclass the abstract class and then instantiate it.

can you elaborate? you could use reflection to interrogate the class.

you have to extend an abstract class and overload any abstract methods - if its the abstract methods you are interested in then unfortunately there is nothing to be interested in - you HAVE to write your concrete implementation for them yourself at some point (or rather these methods WILL be written in a child object somewhere along the line).
