This is a very quick tutorial on how to allow developers to develop using the Zend Framework without having to or being able to install PDO on their servers. I have to warn you though, this is not an official extension of the Zend Framework just yet.

The PHP Recipe application is a small but complete example that demonstrates the five Google Base API services: queries, insertions, deletions, updates, and batch commands. This version uses the Zend Google Data Client Library to interact with the Google Base server, eliminating the need to manually

The final part of an excelent tutorial on creating an ajax chat system using MySQL and the Zend Framework.

Who works with Zend Framework, most likely, have read the “Zend_Controller / Getting Started” Zend Framework manual article, which explains how to use Zend_Controller in the root folder of the web server. But it does not answer on the “How to run my Zend Framework application in a subfolder of the web server document folder?” question and I propose you my solutions. First is rather a hack then a recommended solution, but with it you can start the applications and examples that use standard router. The second is neater but it depends on the Zend_Controller_RewriteRouter class.

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.

Zend Framwork v0.6 has introduced new MVC code and one of the changes is that Zend_View_Interface now exists to allow for easy implementation of other templating engines other than PHP based ones like Zend_View or Savant. We use Smarty at work and when we migrate our content management framework to Zend Framework, we intend to continue using Smarty. Hence, I've created AkCom_View_Smarty to play with how we are going to use Smarty within the Zend Framework. I think that part of the release also has an implemention of Zend_View_Interface that uses Smarty, so it's worth looking at that solution too!

Excellent presentation of Zend Framework made at BostonPHP Framework Presentations. There are available presentation slides and also a podcast available with entire presentation.

In this article I describe how to use Zend framework components in a CakePHP application by means of building a very simple CakePHP application using Zend_Service_Flickr, a component for accessing the Flickr web services.

Setting up the Zend Framework is easy even on shared hosts since no binaries need to be installed. But if you don't know the intricacies of Apache and PHP, certain requests can fail to work for seemingly no apparent reason.
