DDD and MVC: Difference between 'Model' and 'Entity'

Question

I\'m seriously confused about the concept of the \'Model\' in MVC. Most frameworks that exist today put the Model between the Controller and the database, and the Model alm

Answer 1

A simple solution using service and collection:

findAllByDateRange('within 30 days');
        while($postCollection->getNext()) {
            echo $postCollection->current()->getAuthor();
        }
    }
}

EDIT: The model(class) is the simple representation of the entity scheme. The model(object) is a single entity. The service operates on models and provides concrete data to the controllers. No controller has any model. The models stand alone.
On the other "side", mappers map the models into persistance layers (e.g: databases, 3rd party backends, etc).
