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 […]
dkozar evolved a working method to Authenticate and Authorize a Flex based app datas service call using Zend AMF, he writes;
I’ve been struggling with it, and figured it all out — so, perhaps it could help others.
The authentication is called on the server only if credentials supplied from the client (via the remote procedure call […]
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 […]
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. I had to implement a system to upload files that were a little different than what is typically used in Flash, with this feature had to be integrated […]
Here is a very good multi-part tutorial on the ins and outs of mobile client / server development, that adds some quite useful functionality on Android, Apple IOS and Blackberry mobile devices.
In this Test Drive, you are going to create a Flex mobile application that retrieves, displays, and modifies database records (see Figure […]
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 […]
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, […]
Rob Allen writes; A while ago I needed to ask a user for their date of birth on a Zend_Form. The design showed three separate select elements to do this:

A little bit of googling found this site http://codecaine.co.za/posts/compound-elements-with-zend-form which has not unfortunately disappeared, so the […]

Integrate Doctrine 2 into your Zend Framework project. Drive with tests first!

Rob Allen wites in his DevNotes; If you have a Zend Framework Front Controller plugin which throws an exception, then the action is still executed and then the error action is then called, so that the displayed output shows two actions rendered, with two layouts also rendered. This is almost certainly not […]
Rob Allen writes; A friend of mine recently had a requirement where she wanted to have two config files loaded into Zend_Application, so that the specific settings for the server were not stored in the version control system.
Hence she has two config files: application.ini and local.ini where local.ini is different on each server.
The easiest way […]

Josh Holmes writes a informative article on SimpleCloud here;
I’ve been playing with Zend’s SimpleCloud API for the webcast that I’m doing with Zend today. I started with the Zend Framework Quickstart tutorial but changed out the backend to hit the Azure Tables and such (well kinda – I used Zend Studio 8 Beta 2 and didn’t […]
