I've been getting to grips with MVC (in PHP) by way of Zend. My understanding of the Zend Framework is that each type of user request maps to a specific controller (which in turn may or may not map to a model), and each action maps to a view. I've noticed the same pattern in Codeigniter and Kohana, and to some extent also in Symfony. Eff...
I'm migrating my app to use Zend_Application for bootstrap. I used to have the Zend_Config as a key for my $registry. Now I don't know how to use it this way anymore (without having to reload the config file). I know it's possible to use $application->getOptions(), but that gives my an array and I would have to change everywhere in my c...
Ok, I'm about 50% done with the "30 minute" quickstart guide from Zend. I must be missing something, because this seems like a total waste of time. The point of this quickguide is to create a guestbook, something I could do in 5 minutes with regular naked non-framework php. Here's my path to zend framework: c:/program files/wamp/www/_z...
I have the following scenario in zend framework: Data Table of students Table of classes, which contain many students each. Table of assignments, each of which is assigned to a class and given a password I want students to be able to access an assignment given that assignment's id and shared password, but for the application to note wh...
I am adding a select element to a Zend_Form instance as follows: $user = $form->createElement('select','user')->setLabel('User: ')->setRequired(true); foreach($users as $u) { if($selected == $u->id) { $user->addMultiOption($u->id,$u->firstname.' '.$u->lastname); //*** some way of setting a selected opt...
Hi, iam not sure if iam doing it the right way. My Goal is to display in my Layout an Login or an Navigation at the header section. My implementation looks like this (without logic): 2 Layout scripts: login.phtml navigation.phtml An FrontController Plugin: class Plugin_Header extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract { /**...
I have a class R00_Model_User, which, curiously enough, represents user as he is. Can $result->getIdentity() return me an object of this class? (Or maybe it's stupid?) (There is a factory method in R00_Model_User which prevents from duplicating objects. I'd like Zend_Auth to use it instead of creating a new object, if it can) ...
I am very experienced with the CakePHP framework but am checking out the Zend Framework for an application that will receive massive traffic. I'm going through the quickstart tutorial in the documentation and got to the "Create a Model and Database Table" page. Must I or should I create all those model classes it mentions, i.e. applic...
I am very experienced with the CakePHP framework but am checking out the Zend Framework for an application that will receive massive traffic. I need to set up some non-standard routes and add in i18n (url-based) and have seen some parts of the reference documentation that refer to this, and creating Registry keys etc, but I've not found...
Hi, I am using .ini file to add routes in my application. resources.router.routes.username.type = "Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Hostname" resources.router.routes.username.route = ":username.example.com" resources.router.routes.username.defaults.module = "userinfo" resources.router.routes.username.chains.index.type = "Zend_Controller_Ro...
Hi you all: I'm trying to capture a URL parameter in my bootstrap file but after several attempts I'm not able to do it. I've tried this but it does not work: protected function _initGetLang() { $frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance(); $lang= $frontController->getParam('lang'); } Is this the right way to do it? ...
I have a contentPane with a remote form, I'm trying to get the form to submit, and stay within the pane, either displaying the form again on error or reporting success. I'm sure this is easy but I'm stumped, not the first time and not the last I'm sure. Store Form : class Services_Form_Store extends Zend_Dojo_Form { protected ...

I recently experienced a flood of traffic on a Facebook app I created (mostly for the sake of education, not with any intention of marketing) Needless to say, I did not think about scalability when I created the app. I'm now in a position where my meager virtual server hosted by MediaTemple isn't cutting it at all, and it's really comin...
So I've got a controller that I want to be camel cased: MisterFoobarController So I created it like this: zf create controller mister-foobar which created something like Mister-foobarController.php but inside of it created it correctly as MisterFoobarController. How do I create camel cased multiple word resources with the Zend_To...
I'm working my way through the Apress book "Beginning Zend Framework" - and am struggling to get one of the examples to work. The aim is to circumvent the standard directory structure using setScriptPath. Rather than storing the action's associated view script in the scripts directory, the tutorial asks you to save it elsewhere in the ...

I've made an API controller with some actions to spit out JSON for my app and I've turned off the layout and view renderer in its init() method so I've got no view scripts for this controller. I'm trying to use my apiController::treeAction elsewhere in the app via an actionHelper to output some JSON inline. I can access the action direc...
