Zend Framework Threads

I am thinking on moving to Zend due to fact is better on security side, SQL inject, forms inject, aso... The thing is... I am wondering if for such sites as mine there is no big problem related to performance for Zend_DB... I mean i don't know what to expect in terms of performance over CPU mainly, will be a significant increase of CPU hammering ? There are a lot of classes, so a lot of processing needed for running database related objects... Also, i am concerned about pdo_ drivers performance over normal db drivers performance... Has anyone experience on porting Zend DB for sites with lot of traffic ?

Can anybody point me to a project that is: * Written with the Zend Framework * Open source * Well written * A database application I already tried SourceForge. It seems as though everyone has gone framework mental and forgotten to actually write any applications with them.

This is split from this thread with the goal to talk though the design concepts and tradeoffs necessary to build an application using the Zend Framework. I believe that it was dreamscape that suggested that implementing the Java Pet Store might be a good idea.

I'm trying to use the Zend Framework version 0.9.1. Problem is that any controller other than index gives me a message in firefox saying that the page isn't redirecting properly. I'm using the .htaccess redirect from the ZF manual and there are no header or other redirects in the code. I'm really stumped by this. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance

What do you guys think of Zend_Validate? I haven't looked at Zend_Validate much, but I'm not really a fan of complex interfaces either. I like your idea to validate all that needs validated in one go, but I don't like your interface for adding validators.

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...

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

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?

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.
