Zend_Config_Ini and a string

Rob Allen as usual writes use­ful stuff; One thing that is dif­fer­ent between Zend_Config_Xml and Zend_Config_Ini is that with Zend_Config_Xml you can pass in an XML string as the first para­me­ter of the con­struc­tor and it will work. This doesn’t work with Zend_Config_Ini as we use parse_ini_file() under the hood.
With PHP 5.3 how­ever there is is […]

Using Action Helpers To Implement Re-Usable Widgets

Using Action Helpers To Imple­ment Re-Usable Widgets

I had a twitter/IRC exchange yes­ter­day with Andries Seutens and Nick Bel­homme regard­ing appli­ca­tions that include wid­gets within their lay­out. Dur­ing the exchange, I told Andriess not to use the action() view helper, and both Andriess and Nick then asked how to imple­ment wid­gets if they shouldn’t […]

Zend_Log with multiple writers

eschrader writes; So I was sit­ting here think­ing to myself “This is Fri­day and I’m not get­ting much of any­thing done.  Maybe I should write another Fri­day Frame­work High­light.”  I fig­ured that it was a good idea so I pon­dered what I should write.  I came up blank and so I asked […]

Zend_Server Class

e_schrade wrote a neat way of doing things in the ser­vice layer; Let’s take a quick look at some­thing that’s kind of neat in Zend Frame­work. I’ve been doing some work with Adobe on some arti­cles and one of them was on work­ing with mobile clients with Flash. Well, me being the masochist […]

Akrabat_Db_Schema_Manager: table prefix support

Rob Allen posts; I’ve updated Akrabat_Db_Schema_Manager so that it now sup­ports table pre­fixes.
It uses the application.ini key of resources.db.table_prefix as I couldn’t think of a bet­ter one and then uses that for the schema_version table’s name and also makes it avail­able in your change objects.
For exam­ple, if application.ini con­tains resources.db.table_prefix = “myapp”, then […]

ZF Action Controllers">A Simple Resource Injector for ZF Action Controllers

Matthew Weier O’Phinney writes a very use­ful arti­cle about resource injec­tion; Bran­don Sav­age approached me with an inter­est­ing issue regard­ing ZF boot­strap resources, and access­ing them in your action con­trollers. Basi­cally, he’d like to see any resource ini­tial­ized by the boot­strap imme­di­ately avail­able as sim­ply a pub­lic mem­ber of his action con­troller.
So, for instance, if […]

Updated Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Dialog

Charles Kyle Spraggs writes; I’ve been tin­ker­ing around with view helpers quite a bit now and I real­ized that a lot of what I did in the Dia­log could be done much eas­ier by extend­ing the Dijit­Con­tainer view helper. So, I rewrote the dia­log view helper to extend Dijit­Con­tainer and moved Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Dijit_Extended to Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Dojo_Extended because […]
