Early versions of the Zend Framework had a noRoute action that was called when the correct action couldnÂ’t be found. This was a way to deal with some page not found errors. At some point it was dropped - I donÂ’t know when or why because I only started using the Zend Framework recently. ItÂ’s still possible to handle non-existent actions using the __call() method of the controller class. But thereÂ’s no obvious way to deal with all page not found errors in one place, including instances where the controller doesnÂ’t exist.

Excelent review of Zend Controller classes.

Zend_Uri is a component that aids in manipulating and validating Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). Zend_Uri exists primarily to service other components such as Zend_Http_Client but is also useful as a standalone utility.
URIs always begin with a scheme, followed by a colon. The construction of the many different schemes varies significantly. The Zend_Uri class provides a factory that returns a subclass of itself which specializes in each scheme. The subclass will be named Zend_Uri_<scheme>, where <scheme> is the scheme lowercased with the first letter capitalized. An exception to this rule is HTTPS, which is also handled by Zend_Uri_Http.

Part of what I love about the Zend Framework is the ease at which a person can create views for static content.

I'm taking a quick look at adding fields that aren't in the table, but may be handy in your application. Like adding a field "name" that combines both first and last name, without having to change your database or write too much code. Quick, dirty, but extremely handy.

Over the last week a lot of the activity on the Zend Framework mailing lists has revolved around the introduction in 1.0.0 RC1 of the ViewRenderer action helper. As of RC1 this helper has been enabled by default. Lot's of queries have been raised about how to disable, modify it, and generally how current applications can be made to work with the ViewRenderer.

This article contains information on how to improve your application stability by controlling how the changes affect the Model-View-Controller Zend Framework application. As a result, you will be able to deliver better software to your customers and reduce the time needed for testing of the software.

Zend Framework has two versions of Routing mechanism: Zend_Controller_Router (the default) and Zend_Controller_RewriteRouter (sparingly documented). You can easily make them call indexController::noRouteAction() on unexistence controllers, but on unexistence actions theyÂ’ll throw you an exception.

Closing the tour of XML-RPC implementations usable with PHP-GTK, the shortest code to access our geo_nick service makes use a higher-level XML-RPC library: the Zend_XmlRpc_Client from the Zend Framework.
Unlike earlier implementations, Zend Framework (ZF) includes both the mashalling/unmarshalling to/from XML line format and the HTTP request/reponse process, wrapped up in a class-based mechanism using exceptions to handle errors, both at the HTTP and XML service levels (not demonstrated here).

Can anybody point me to a project that is:

* Written with the Zend Framework
* Open source
* Well written
* A database application

I already tried SourceForge. It seems as though everyone has gone framework mental and forgotten to actually write any applications with them.
