N...

What are some of the best practices for clean code, naming conventions and documentation for PHP? I see users/people saying this is a bad practice, Example: // Create an array to hold x values $arr_x = array(); That this is a unnecessary comment cause the syntax alone explains the functionality.

Note: I'm using Zend Framework, but I think most of this applies to PHP coding in general. I'm trying to choose a strategy for writing views scripts, possibly with the help of a templating engine.

H...

Here's a very broad question: I've been building a small MVC framework in PHP, mostly for the sake of learning better practices in my coding (and so I have a system to manage my home finances). In reading up, I've discovered a lot on VOs and DAOs, which were new to me, at least in a formalized way. This made me realize that even thoug...
I'm working with a Symfony generated admin and need to include some custom HTML into a form. This HTML (a label, img tag, and link) should only appear when the action is 'edit'. What's the best way to do this? It seems like I should just be able to include a partial, but I don't know where to include it from. Thanks. ...
