Zend ACL

Continues from parts 1 and 2. Explains how to create an ACL "dynamically" from a database, with a complex ACL system with multiple role and resource types, and where resources and roles inherit from others. Contains a full ZF-based file download app

This article continues from the first part, and introduces ways of dealing with multiple types of roles, such as users and usergroups, and resources, like pages and files.

Article clears some common misconceptions regarding Zend_Acl, and introduces creation of simple ACLs. Has examples for using with both Zend Framework based and non-ZF applications

So I decided to write a bit about my experience and implementation of the Zend_Acl component, it's a bit rough but I hope it gives an idea of how to possibly implement Zend_Acl. Let me know if there's anything not very clear, I'm no english major so there's bound to be some awful sections.

Yet more Zend Framework -related material.
I've talked with a few people about using Zend_Acl and how to best approach the issue of resources, roles and users.
It isn't immediately obvious how one should do this:
- Create roles and resources in code?
- Load them from a database?

Zend_Acl est utilisé pour dire si un objet a le droit de faire une action ou non. Avec Zend_Acl, on va pouvoir dire : "tel internaute a le droit de lire le forum A mais pas d'écrire dedans, alors que dans le forum B il aura le droit de lire et d'écrire des messages".

Yesterday RC1 of Zend Framework was released. I have been working away using it for several months and I have tried to give back small snippets of code as I went along. I had to do some work on my class that extends the Zend ACL and it reminded me how I like to approach coding as a whole.
I am a strong believer in building in functionality that always goes beyond the base requirements. In this vain I always think how I can make every feature extendable beyond its natural life span.

This tutorial demonstrates how to approach storing Zend_Acl roles and resources in a database instead of creating them in code as shown in most other tutorials.

I have been digging further into the Zend Framework and although they are not too version 1.0 yet it still feels pretty mature. I have been working on a admin interface for the ACL (Access Control List) and the cache mechanisms they supply.
The ACL is initially confusing and overly complicated especially when you are trying to hand building rules.
