ClamAV as a Validation Filter in Zend Framework

Matthew Set­ter writes a very inter­est­ing arti­cle; Ok, so you’re pretty com­fort­able with using the Zend Frame­work, specif­i­cally the use of Forms. Along with that, you have a good work­ing knowl­edge of how to com­bine a host of stan­dard val­ida­tors such as Cred­it­Card, EmailAd­dress, Db_RecordExists, and Hex, and stan­dard fil­terssuch as Compress/Decompress, Base­Name, Encrypt, and Real­Path. But what do you do when a sit­u­a­tion arises that’s out­side the […]

Zend Server 5.6 is out

Kevin Schroeder writes; Zend Server 5.6 is out.  I’m actu­ally pretty stoked about this release.  Here’s a few rea­sons why.

Zend Server CE now con­tains the full Zend Server stack.  Why do I find this excit­ing?  Because the upgrade path from CE to the full ver­sion is stu­pid easy.  That means you can try out all of […]

dkozar evolved a work­ing method to Authen­ti­cate and Autho­rize a Flex based app datas ser­vice call using Zend AMF, he writes;

Authentication using Zend_Amf

Kevin Schroeder writes; I for­get why, but a few days ago I started doing some dig­ging around with authen­ti­ca­tion in Zend_Amf_Server. I had fig­ured that I would add an adapter to the Zend_Amf_Server::setAuth() method and that would be it.
But I was wrong.
AMF allows for mul­ti­ple request bod­ies to be sent at the same time. Of those there […]

AMF">File uploads with Adobe Flex and Zend AMF

Leonardo França writes; Zend AMF is an imple­men­ta­tion done in PHP to work with the com­mu­ni­ca­tion pro­to­col binary AMF (Action Mes­sage For­mat) and is part of Zend­Frame­work.

PHP">Encrypt session data in PHP

Zimuel writes; As promised in my last post I present an exam­ple of strong cryp­tog­ra­phy in PHP to secure ses­sion data.
This is a very sim­ple imple­men­ta­tion that can be used to improve the secu­rity of PHP appli­ca­tions espe­cially in shared envi­ron­ments where dif­fer­ent users have access to the same resources. As you know, […]

XML to JSON in PHP">XML to JSON in PHP

Zimuel writes; Last fri­day, in occa­sion of the April Zend Frame­work Bug-Hunt, I started to look at this bug: ZF-3257. This is an issue related to the Zend_Json class that occurs dur­ing the con­ver­sion from XML to JSON for some spe­cific XML doc­u­ments, like this one:

But it can also be used to cre­ate desk­top appli­ca­tions and com­man­d­line tools. And now with a class called System_Daemon, you can even cre­ate dae­mons using noth­ing but PHP. And […]
