In parts 1, 2 and 3 I've been taking a look at the Zend Framework and putting together a broad picture of a potential implementation to add support for complex multi-part web pages. This refers to the practice of building a web page in an application from a number of common reusable elements. An example of such elements include header sections, footers, menu bars, widgets, etc, which surround the main content returned by any client request. In Parts 2 and 3, I introduced two useful design patterns for this purpose: Composite View and View Helper.
