I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the Zend Framework. When it was first announced, I feared that it was going to be a framework highly geared towards enterprise development with tie-ins to a bunch of other Zend tools like the Zend Platform or either of the Zend Core things (Oracle or DB2/Cloudscape). What IÂ’ve heard since has relieved a bunch of that fear, and given me some hope about its development and the future of PHP. Their main goal, as many have now reported, is that of extreme simplicity. Unfortunately for those developing any software product, making it extremely simple is not an extremely simple thing - itÂ’s normally an extremely difficult thing. Trying to create an application that will be easy to install, easy to deploy, and easy to use is a very difficult thing. Especially when you have to do it quickly, you have a lot of people ready to pounce on you when you make mistakes, and the thing youÂ’re trying to make extremely simple isnÂ’t a trivial problem.

Zend_Service_Akismet provides a client for the Akismet API. The Akismet service is used to determine if incoming data is potentially spam; it also exposes methods for submitting data as known spam or as false positives (ham). Originally intended to help categorize and identify spam for Wordpress, it can be used for any type of data.

Akismet requires an API key for usage. You may get one for signing up for a WordPress.com account. You do not need to activate a blog; simply acquiring the account will provide you with the API key.

Additionally, Akismet requires that all requests contain a URL to the resource for which data is being filtered, and, because of Akismet's origins in WordPress, this resource is called the blog url. This value should be passed as the second argument to the constructor, but may be reset at any time using the setBlogUrl() accessor, or overridden by specifying a 'blog' key in the various method calls.

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.

Good news - the Zend Framework License is now compatible with the GPL. This means you can use the ZF for your own GPL-licensed PHP project.

In this three-part "Create a productivity package with the Zend Framework V1.5 and Google Apps" tutorial series, you will build an example Web site using Zend Framework V1.5 to connect to several Google productivity applications.

I decided to put together an Akismet class using the Zend Framework (resulting in this being PHP 5 only). For those of you who don't know, Akismet is a web service that you can send comments to and they'll let you know whether or not they think it's spam.

About six months ago Dave Dash posted a great little tutorial demonstrating how to integrate the Zend FrameworkÂ’s Search component into a Symfony application. That is exactly what I did for the ICA-AtoM archival description application that I am developing using the Symfony platform. Now that I am working on the next version of this application I have upgraded to the latest version (0.8.0) of Zend Search. This upgrade adds proximity, grouped and boolean searches as well as term rank boosting to the ICA-AtoM application. At the end of this post I have some tips to add to DaveÂ’s tutorial that anyone upgrading from older Zend Search versions should be aware of.

Il y a un petit truc assez sympa avec la gestion des caches dans Zend Framework (et donc Zend_Cache) et c'est les tags.

Les tags sont peut-être ignorés par beaucoup parce que ce n'est que le 3ème paramètre et qu'il n'est pas obligatoire.
