Zend_Text_Figlet is a component which enables developers to create a so called FIGlet text. A FIGlet text is a string, which is represented as ASCII art.

Zend_Soap_Server class is intended to simplify Web Services server part development for PHP programmers.

It may be used in WSDL or non-WSDL mode, and using classes or functions to define Web Service API.

When Zend_Soap_Server component works in the WSDL mode, it uses already prepared WSDL document to define server object behavior and transport layer options.

WSDL document may be auto-generated with functionality provided by Zend_Soap_AutoDiscovery component or should be constructed manually using Zend_Soap_Wsdl class or any other XML generating tool.

If the non-WSDL mode is used, then all protocol options have to be set using options mechanism.

Zend_Wildfire is a component that facilitates communication between PHP code and Wildfire client components.

The purpose of the Wildfire Project is to develop standardized communication channels between a large variety of components and a dynamic and scriptable plugin architecture. At this time the primary focus is to provide a system to allow server-side PHP code to inject logging messages into the Firebug Console.

For the purpose of logging to Firebug the Zend_Log_Writer_Firebug component is provided and a communication protocol has been developed that uses HTTP request and response headers to send data between the server and client components. It is great for logging intelligence data, generated during script execution, to the browser without interfering with the page content. Debugging AJAX requests that require clean JSON and XML responses is possible with this approach.

There is also a Zend_Db_Profiler_Firebug component to log database profiling information to Firebug.

Zend_Test provides tools to facilitate unit testing of your Zend Framework applications. At this time, we offer facilities to enable testing of your Zend Framework MVC applications

Zend_TimeSync is able to receive internet or network time from a timeserver using the NTP or SNTP protocol. With Zend_TimeSync the Zend Framework is able to act indepentendly from the timesettings of the server where it is running.

To be independent from the actual time of the server, Zend_TimeSync does internally work just with the difference of the real time which is send through NTP or SNTP and the internal servers time.

Zend_Paginator is a flexible component for paginating collections of data and presenting that data to users.

The primary design goals of Zend_Paginator are as follows:

*

Paginate arbitrary data, not just relational databases
*

Fetch only the results that need to be displayed
*

Do not force users to adhere to only one way of displaying data or rendering pagination controls
*

Loosely couple Zend_Paginator to other Zend Framework components so that users who wish to use it independently of Zend_View, Zend_Db, etc. can do so

Zend_OpenId is a Zend Framework component that provides a simple API for building OpenID-enabled sites and identity providers.

Zend_Ldap is a class for performing LDAP operations including but not limited to binding, searching and modifying entries in an LDAP directory.

The Zend_InfoCard component implements relying-party support for Information Cards. Infomation Cards are used for identity management on the internet and authentication of users to web sites (called relying parties).

Detailed information about information cards and their importance to the internet identity metasystem can be found on the IdentityBlog

Zend_Form simplifies form creation and handling in your web application. It accomplishes the following goals:

*

Element input filtering and validation
*

Element ordering
*

Element and Form rendering, including escaping
*

Element and form grouping
*

Element and form-level configuration

It heavily leverages other Zend Framework components to accomplish its goals, including Zend_Config, Zend_Validate, Zend_Filter, Zend_Loader_PluginLoader, and optionally Zend_View.
