All exceptions thrown by Zend Framework classes should throw an exception that derives from the base class Zend_Exception.

in this tutorial, we will design a sample application for the zend framework, putting an emphasis on application design. Starting from the models we will work our way up to a more or less complete application.

The ext js framework has a great grid component. In this tutorial I explain how you can provide it with data from a zend framework application

I posted this rather lengthy argument in the Zend fw-core mailing list after I learned that the Zend_Filter_Input component had been dropped from the Zend Framework. I have used this component extensively in various projects, and had written up a contribution to the Zend DevZone that described using a bootstrap script to block direct access by your developers to the superglobal user input arrays ($_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, etc).

MVC is designed to "decouple data access and business logic from data presentation and user interaction" and was doing a fine job of it but clearly that isn't what I'm after. I was misapplying the pattern completely.

So this got on to thinking about a CMS. CMSes "facilitate the organization, control, and publication of documents and other content, such as images and multimedia resources" and sounds a little more like what I'm after but then how do I integrate custom functionality such as my video chooser wizard thing into that. Incidentally I've no intention of using a pre-packaged CMS or writing anything myself much larger than is necessary to satisfy the requirements of this site but it sounds to me that I'm after some kind of CMS / MVC hybrid or at least a template system that blocks of functionality can be injected into or perhaps the other way round.

PHP is one of the most widely used languages on the Web today. Yet despite that fact there is no "P" in AJAX (define), Zend co-founder Andi Gutmans believes that PHP could be the glue that makes AJAX work better.

Looked at Zend and although neat, overkill for my own purposes.
I need more of a validation solution than a filtering anyways.
Meaning I will test for validity and fail to continue if it's bad. I guess, except when validating TEXTAREA in which case it's prolly a lot faster/easier to just strip HTML or convert to entities.
Didn't think of that one until now.
Anyways, smartest, leanest filtering solution...why not just store an array of regex in a hash array and pull that regex into a preg_* and be done with it???
Any other techniques or solutions (other than Zend or Regex) which you feel are worth mentioning?

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).

How would you utilize AJAX in a full fledged Zend powered application?

I have a controller (master) and it has several actions:

- list
- create
- update
- manage
The list action needs to be updated based on a JScript timer but only a small section of it.
How would you do this in Zend? Sample code or basic gist of the idea would be cool Smile

I just downloaded the Zend Framework 0.9.1 and I'm using the view helpers to create a form. Now... they work great except I'm having the same problem I believe I had with the cakePHP framework's form helpers... how do you set a checkbox's id attribute?? Nothing I do seems to work. All I need to do is have the label for the checkbox work...
