That doesn't seem to make a difference. A format of "dd.MM." should fail
to parse "29.2.2008", but it doesn't. Similarly, a year part of "y", "yy",
or "" all produce the same result (a successful parsing), whether the
year part of the input is "08" or "2008".

It seems that the format is only good for hinting at the order of the parts
in the input and not the overall format of the input or even the size of the
parts.

Everything seems to work as expected as long as you make sure the date is in
the expected format (in my case, by inserting a Zend_Validate_Regex rule
before Zend_Validate_Date).

For example, with that setup, an input of "29.2.2008" (February 29, 2008, a
leap year) validates, while an input of "29.2.2009" (February 29, 2009, not
a leap year) fails validation, as expected. An input of "2.29.2011" throws
an exception (Unable to parse date '2.29.2011' using 'd.M.' (M <> d)),
which is also expected.

It's apparently the format that's near useless for validation. It's only
seems to be good for hinting at the order in which the various parts should
appear in the input.

[fw-general] Zend_Date Behavior: PEBKAC or Bug?

[Ryan Lange]

I'm having an issue with Zend_Date (and, by extension, Zend_Validate_Date)
that would seem to qualify as "unexpected behavior", but I'm not sure if
it's legitimately unexpected or if it's my expectations that are out of
whack.

First off, some basic information: I'm seeing this issue in ZF 1.11.3 on a
FreeBSD 6.4 system with PHP 5.2.14. Ultimately, I'm using Zend_Validate_Date
to validate date inputs from a form (e.g. date of birth).

Given this code...

 'd.M.y',
'format_type' => 'iso',
'fix_date' => false
) ) );

?>

...I would expect it to be unable to parse "123" as a date, since it doesn't
follow the specified format. Unfortunately, I get the following output:

array(5) {
  ["date_format"] => string(5) "d.M.y"
  ["locale"] => string(5) "en_US"
  ["day"] => string(2) "12"
  ["month"] => string(1) "3"
  ["year"] => bool(false)
}

This is a problem, because Zend_Validate_Date considers this a valid date.

 'd.M.y'
) );

Zend_Debug::dump( $validator->isValid( '123' ) );

?>

Output:

bool(true)

Now, if I use a value of "12.3" instead of "123", I get expected output:

array(4) {
  ["date_format"] => string(5) "d.M.y"
  ["locale"] => string(5) "en_US"
  ["day"] => string(2) "12"
  ["month"] => string(1) "3"
}

bool(false)

So... is what I've described above expected behavior and I'm just doing it
wrong, or is it a legitimate bug?

(Either way, I suppose I'll need to throw Zend_Validate_Regex into the mix
to make sure the input is in the correct format.)

Thanks in advance,
Ryan Lange

Re: [fw-general] Detecting a routing error in a controller plugin

[Ryan Lange]

Hi Hector,

Thanks for the response. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're
suggesting I do something like this:

class ErrorController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
/**
 * @return void
 */
public function errorAction()
{
// Snipped code...

$this->renderScript( '../error/error.tpl.php' );
}
}

There are two issues with this, though: 1) it requires disabling LFI
protection, and 2) with LFI protection disabled, it works in the case of
modules (e.g. /module-name/foo), but breaks when routing errors occur in the
default module (e.g. /foo).


Thanks again,
Ryan

[fw-general] Detecting a routing error in a controller plugin

[Ryan Lange]

In an application that I'm creating, I have the need to have all view
scripts (including those for modules) in a non-standard directory, as well
as change the default extension. The relevant directory structure would look
like this:

/
application/
modules/
ModuleName/
public/
Templates/
zf-views/
module-name/
index/
index.tpl.php
error/
error.tpl.php

 I've decided to use a controller plugin to do this globally:

_getViewRenderer()->setViewSuffix( 'tpl.php' );
$this->_getView()->setScriptPath( PUBLIC_PATH .
'/Templates/zf-views' );
}

/**
 * Adjusts the script path for modules.
 *
 * @param Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request
 * @return void
 */
public function dispatchLoopStartup( Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract
$request )
{
if( 'default' != $request->getModuleName() ) {
$this->_getView()->setScriptPath( PUBLIC_PATH .
'/Templates/zf-views/' . $request->getModuleName() );
}
}

/**
 * @return Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer
 */
protected function _getViewRenderer()
{
if( null === $this->_view_renderer ) {
$this->_view_renderer =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper( 'ViewRenderer' );
}

return $this->_view_renderer;
}

/**
 * @return Zend_View_Interface
 */
protected function _getView()
{
return $this->_getViewRenderer()->view;
}
}

The problem I'm running into is that if a non-existent controller or action
is requested in the ModuleName module (let's say /module-name/foo), I get
the following exception:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_View_Exception' with message 'script
'error/error.tpl.php' not found in path (/application/views/scripts/:/htdocs/Templates/zf-views/module-name/)' in /library/Zend/View/Abstract.php:980
Stack trace:
#0 /library/Zend/View/Abstract.php(876):
Zend_View_Abstract->_script('error/error.tpl...')
#1 /library/Zend/Controller/Action/Helper/ViewRenderer.php(898):
Zend_View_Abstract->render('error/error.tpl...')
#2 /library/Zend/Controller/Action/Helper/ViewRenderer.php(919):
Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer->renderScript('error/error.tpl...',

#3 /library/Zend/Controller/Action/Helper/ViewRenderer.php(958):
Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer->render()
#4 /library/ in /library/Zend/View/Abstract.php on
line 980

Not surprisingly, given the code above, it's trying to look for the error
view script in ModuleName's view script path. What I need to do is, in
dispatchLoopStartup(), forgo updating the script path with the module name
if there's been a routing error. I'm just not sure how to go about that.
I've tried both of the following if conditions...

if( 'default' != $request->getModuleName() && 'error' !=
$request->getControllerName() ) {

...and...

if( 'default' != $request->getModuleName() && null === $request->getParam(
'error_handler' ) ) {

...but neither have solved my problem.

Any help would be appreciated. Any suggestions on how to handle the
situation in general more elegantly would also be appreciated. ;o)

The problem is if the response header contains two words or more,

e.g. Content-Type

It will be converted into

Content-type

IMHO, it is so strange and I see no point of converting, unless it is
part of some standard.

[fw-general] Letter case problem in Zend_Http_Response

[Ryan Chan]

I have read the Zend_Http_Response:
http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/trunk/library/Zend/Http/Response.php

The headers were constructed using...

$this->headers[ucwords(strtolower($name))] = $value;

So only 1st character will be upper case, others will be lower case.

Is it part of a standard? If yes, any document/reference/link?

I thought maybe I'd extend Zend_Log_Writer_Db and modify the _write() method
to convert non-string event messages to strings using print_r(), but all of
the class properties of Zend_Log_Writer_Db ($_db, $_table, and $_columnMap)
are set to private. So, naturally, when my overridden _write() method makes
sure that the $_db property is not null, it's denied access and results in
an exception informing me that it is null.

Bleh...

[fw-general] Zend_Log_Writer_Db and Firebug don't seem to work well together...

[Ryan Lange]

There's no outright conflict, per se, but the expectations of each writer
can create issues when logging objects (at least). Zend_Log_Writer_Firebug
can handle objects, but Zend_Log_Writer_Db, at some point in its execution,
apparently attempts to call the __toString() magic method on objects.

This causes a couple issues:

1) For classes, like Zend_Controller_Request_Http, that don't implement the
__toString() magic method, logging an instance of that class causes
Zend_Log_Writer_Db to throw an exception while Zend_Log_Writer_Firebug will
handle it just fine.

2) What if you want to log the structure of, say, an instance of Zend_Form
(for debugging), not the string representation? You could use something like
print_r() and pass the output to the logger to accomodate
Zend_Log_Writer_Db, but then you lose out on the object rendering feature of
Zend_Log_Writer_Firebug.

Does anyone have any suggestions for working around these issues?

It turns out that this does not work for my purposes. The initial problem
that I encountered exists with this method, too; the module, controller, and
action parts aren't present in the view script path. It appears that I must
make use of the ViewRenderer helper if I want to prevent potential
refactoring errors down the road. I'll just have to work around the possible
context switching issue if I ever encounter it.

[fw-general] [Zend_Form] Filtering or validating a composite element's array of values

[Ryan Lange]

I have a composite element (MultiCheckbox for pre-defined values + Text for
custom values; all having the same name) that is having validation problems.
The field is required (at the very least, one of the checkboxes must be
checked *or* there must be a value in the text field).

The problem is that text fields are always submitted and a NotEmpty
validator will fail on an empty text field, even if one of the boxes is
checked. Even a custom validator that uses the $context parameter is not
ideal, as it will still be called for each and every value in the element's
array.

A similar problem with Zend_Filter_Input was worked around by hacking in a
TRAVERSE_ARRAY boolean option, but that seems impossible to implement in
Zend_Form without rebuilding the entire Zend_Form_Element_* family on top of
a custom validator class.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Currently, _getParam() can't access $_POST['person']['email']

I believe this would need to be added to the controller and request

Regarding using a partial, do you mean something like this?

setBodyHtml( $this->view->partial( 'emails/client.phtml' ) );

?>

That would probably be a lot cleaner.

The only "problem" I see with that method—in my case, specifically—is that I
send two slightly different emails containing roughly the same information;
one to our client(s), the other as an internal notification. Using a full
view object allows me to assign the view variables once, then render two
different scripts.

I'm not opposed to assigning the information for each email (it may be good
to enforce some separation), but is there a way to avoid this? I think
placeholders would do the trick, but it sounds like anything put in a
placeholder would be available to all view scripts, not just the
email-related scripts. Hmm...

[fw-general] Issues with non-default view script path in Zend_Application

[Ryan Lange]

I'm writing an application in 1.10.7 using Zend_Application. Due to
front-end design considerations, I have to change the location of the view
scripts (and only the view scripts). I have a few issues, though...

==
#1: Repetition
==

It appears that this needs to be done in each module's bootstrap. So, I do
this in the "default" bootstrap file:

bootstrap( 'View' );
$view = $this->getResource( 'View' );
$view->setScriptPath( realpath( APPLICATION_PATH . '/../custom/path'
) );
}
}

?>

But I also have to do this in the "Module" bootstrap file, adding the
module's name to the path:

bootstrap( 'View' );
$view = $this->getResource( 'View' );
$view->setScriptPath( realpath( APPLICATION_PATH .
'/../custom/path/module' ) );
}
}

?>

Is there a better way to do this globally and still have modules looking in
the correct directory? A controller plugin, perhaps? (I'm hoping a better
solution to this issue will make the next two disappear.)

==
#2: Default Paths Still Present
==

Zend_View::setScriptPath() overrides the default path(s). Unfortunately,
that doesn't appear to be the case here. Dumping the view object (inside of
a view script) reveals that the default path is still being checked.

["script"] => array(2) {
[0] => string(86) "[base]/application/views/scripts/"
[1] => string(69) "[base]/custom/path/"
}

["script"] => array(2) {
[0] => string(86) "[base]/application/modules/module/views/scripts/"
[1] => string(69) "[base]/custom/path/module/"
}

While this makes sense to me—these paths must be generated some time after
bootstrapping and then added to the view resource object—it's not very
optimal.

I'd like to completely override the default view script path. Any
suggestions?

==
#3: Error Handling in Modules
==

If ErrorController::errorAction() needs to be invoked by an exception in a
module, it seems to check the "default" default view script path, the
"Module" default view script path, and the "Module" custom view script path,
but *not* the "default" custom view script path:

[base]/application/views/scripts/
[base]/application/modules/module/views/scripts/
[base]/custom/path/module/

Consequently, with my setup, the view script for the error controller/action
can't be found, resulting in a fatal error.

Any help with these would be much appreciated.


Thanks,
Ryan

[fw-general] Re: Rendering "miscellaneous" view scripts from within an action

[Ryan Lange]

If anyone's interested, I've found a workable solution:

view;
$mail_view->clearVars();

$mail = new Zend_Mail( 'UTF-8' );
$mail->setBodyHtml(
$mail_view->render( $this->getHelper( 'ViewRenderer' )->getViewScript(
'emails/client' ) )
);

?>

This code is placed within an action method. Cloning the controller's view
object allows me to use the automatically generated paths for the view
rather than build them up from scratch myself. So, the view script that gets
rendered might be something like
"/application/views/scripts[controller]/[action]/emails/client.[suffix]" or,
if within a module,
"/application/modules/[module]/views/scripts[controller]/[action]/emails/client.[suffix]".

This only works because ViewRenderer::getViewScript() accepts directory
separators in the action name. That seems odd to me, but I'm thankful for it
at the moment.

[fw-general] [Zend_Queue] How do you deal with repeated failures?

[Ryan Lange]

I'm using Zend_Queue (Db adapter, specifically) to store emails that are
generated by a front-end script to be processed by a back-end script (via
cron). Nothing out of the ordinary, really.

The problem is that these emails can fail for any number of reasons (the
user entering information on the front-end script may typo their email
address; the recipient's email address may no longer be valid; etc.). These
errors are logged so that they can be investigated by a human, but I'd like
for the queue to just "give up" on the problematic email after a few tries.

Unfortunately, there's doesn't seem to be a built-in mechanism for keeping
track of the number of times a specific message has been receive()d. Does
anyone have any tips on how to handle this situation?

After reading the article, I think 'Query cache does not work" is a

[fw-general] Disable prepare statement in Zend_Db_Select

[Ryan Chan]

Hello,

I have traced the source code of ZFW, and found the database adapter
Zend_Db_Adapter_Mysqli  always do a prepare when execute any SQL.

However, I found it is not needed, since most of my query only run
once in their life cycle - no reuse is needed. It is possible to
disable auto prepare so it can save a MySQL roundtrip for the prepare
statement?

Thanks.

Images and anything else that needs to be served up directly by the web server 
goes in the "public" directory.

As vb said, please spend some more time reading how the framework works. Maybe 
go through a couple tutorials. It will help make things a bit clearer.

I haven't used Zend_Mail, but I have done some newsletter emailing so I have 
some experience with common mail sending errors. Mail standards say line 
endings in email must be the DOS CRLF pair, on all platforms. In your email I 
see a lot of "=0A" which is the encoding for the UNIX LF line ending. Is it 
possible your code, or Zend Framework code, is using "\n" or PHP_EOL as a line 
separator? If so, that would be an error; the line separator must be "\r\n". 
Some mail servers and mail clients are pickier about this than others, which 
would explain why only some of your users see this problem.

Does the .zfproject.xml file in fact serve any purpose at all other than 
wasting my time? I have found it very inconvenient to need to update it every 
time I manually add a model or controller or whatever, or to fix it after I "zf 
create"d something only to decide I needed to rename it later, but actually the

indeed even if I delete the project file entirely. So what is it there for?

Hi,

I've create a Zend Framework application and I now have to move it to the

So the question is, how can I upload and test my Zend Framework application
on the webspace of my client, without interferring with the current website?
   

I don't know your specific setup, but this is what I did:

First, I renamed the file "index.php" to "zf.php". I also changed the 
reference in the .htaccess file.


Second, I modified the .htaccess file further, so that only certain 
requests would be handled by my application. This part isn't strictly 
necessary because the default rewrite rules will only redirect requests 
for files or directories (or symlinks) that *don't* already exist 
(meaning your existing pages should still be accessible through the same 
URL as always). However, this *will* cause Zend Framework to "handle" 
any broken links. I didn't want that behavior, which is why I took this 
step.


My modified .htaccess looks something like this:

=[ .htaccess ]==
RewriteEngine On

# The following URIs will be handled by ZF.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/controller [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/another-controller [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/module1 [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/module2/some-controller
RewriteRule ^.*$ zf.php [NC,L]


Hope that helps.

Yep. get_include_path() returns

[fw-general] Redundant include paths in Zend_Tool-generated projects?

[Ryan Lange]

When you create a project with Zend_Tool, it appears to add library/ to the
include path twice; once in application/configs/application.ini and again in
public/index.php.

==
application/configs/application.ini
==
includePaths[] = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"


==
public/index.php
==
set_include_path( implode( PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
realpath( APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library' ),
get_include_path(),
) ) );


Am I correct in assuming that this is simply redundant?

[fw-general] Is there a way to suppress specific validator error messages?

[Ryan Lange]

My specific concern is with Zend_Validate_EmailAddress and host name
validation. In the case of an input like "exam...@examplecom" (missing
period in the host name), the validator returns 3 distinct error messages.
Zend_Validate_EmailAddress sets its own message for host name validation
failure, but it also pulls in all error messages (in this case, 2) from the
Zend_Validate_Hostname instance it uses.

Now, showing the user 3 error messages that say essentially the same thing
("Your email address appears to be invalid") seems a bit much.

Keep in mind that this is not a question about *customizing* validator
messages. I use Zend_Translate for that purpose, but, in my case, I'm still
left with 3 identical error messages. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way
to simply "throw away" specific error messages. (On a whim, I tried setting
the message templates to NULL, but that just ends up returning an empty
string.)

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Re: [fw-general] custom validation error messages in ZF >= 1.8

[Ryan Lange]

It looks like Zend_Filter_Input, for some reason, automatically runs a
NotEmpty validator on every field. The message you're seeing is
Zend_Filter_Input's NOT_EMPTY_MESSAGE.

Setting the ALLOW_EMPTY meta command will get rid of it, but, of course,
won't run your own NotEmpty validator.

I haven't figured out a way to override this, though. And customizing
NOT_EMPTY_MESSAGE is out of the question, because I want per-field messages
(that don't reference the field name).

Does anyone have a solution?

Re: [fw-general] User uploads file bigger than what's allowed in php.ini, can it be caught?

Neither. It's an unfortunate short-coming of PHP itself.

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.post-max-size : "If the size
of post data is greater than post_max_size, the $_POST and $_FILES
superglobals are empty."

Files are uploaded as post data. If the file being uploaded pushes the post
data beyond the size allowed in php.ini, you get empty $_POST and $_FILES
superglobals, which is why ZF complains about not being able to find your
file field.

Consider the following design.

Model class:

Controller:

Auth

Actions:

Registration
Login
Logout
ResetPassword

as you can see, even I put a lot of code in model - User, that are

Howdy folks, 

I have to confess that I am truly pleased with Zend_ProgressBar. However, I
had a couple thoughts once I actually started using it. I am sending this
message to the mailing list because I'm not entirely sure it is within the
scope/context of Zend_ProgressBar.

I wonder if it's not a good idea to allow single instances of ZPB
(namespaces). For instance, in my case I'm doing a search index rebuild of
a large resultset. In particular I flush my index tables, fetch all my
records and insert the index values into one table and the relations to
another.

However, I'd like this process to be running a single instance at a time.
For example, if I request /resource/intense/rebuild-search-index/, the
process will start. However, if I request it again, I'd like the process to
not start again, but update with the current progress. I had already
considered adjusting Zend_ProgressBar::$_min to use
Zend_ProgressBar::$_current as an offset, but in this particular case I
don't think it applies. I'm including some code as an example.

One caveat I can think of is sharing process information across
sessions/users, so it may be a good idea to pass in a cache object, or
explicitly define a cache prefix? I also don't think this would be
considered adapter functionality, as it seems fairly global to
Zend_ProgressBar.

Other potential usage scenarios would be converting a video from one type
to another, or converting a CMYK image to RGB (using a filename as a
prefix), etc. 

The methods I propose (though their functionality, names and usage aren't
in stone, I leave that to the devs) include:

setSingleInstance() // sets ZPB to allow a single instance of a progress
bar, cross user
setCacheInstance() // Either setting a Zend_Cache instance, or just a
namespace
setIgnoreUserAbort() // sets ignore_user_abort() - just a thought, not sure
if it is needed
isIdle() // Returns (bool) where singleInstance is registered (but not
running?)
isRunning() // returns (bool) if running
getCurrent() // Current record convenience method
removeCache() // flushes the cache object
rewind() // Potentially not the best method name, but it would flush the
cache, reset user abort, etc.

Just let me know if I'm out of my mind!

Thanks folks,

-Ryan

[fw-general] Unescaping Form Select Option Values

[Ryan Mannion]

For the purposes of creating a "cascading" list in a select, I'd like
to prepend select options values with non-breaking spaces ( ).
Because the select options value attribute is automatically escaped
(and from a cursory look at the Zend sources, it appears it's not
possible to turn this off), the  s appear as " " instead of
an actual space.

I tried using chr(160) in place of " ", but am seeing question
marks in my browser instead of spaces. Please note that I have my
charset set as utf-8 in case that's relevant.

It looks like I may need to write my own ViewHelper. Any thoughts on
other workarounds?

Some of the scripts that we run on our servers broke when we migrated all ZF

you might consider checking out trunk using SVN.

Yikes! I knew there was something I forgot to do on Friday. Without
further ado, it's my immense pleasure to announce that Matthew has been
promoted to Software Architect at Zend. I'm sure I don't have to explain
what he's done to deserve this here. ;)
He'll still maintain his existing components and develop new components.
But he'll also be heading up efforts that involve cross-cutting concerns
with all components. The general consistency of design and quality
across all components should benefit greatly from his attention.
In addition, he will be heading up the initiative to define exactly what
we'll be doing for the 2.0 release. This is of course a critical role as
we make the right tradeoffs between improvements and backwards
compatibility.
Congrats Matthew!

RE: [fw-general] ZF Packaging

I would prefer not to use PEAR. Seems like a silver bullet solution to me... I

Perhaps I shouldn't be asking this via this forum, but is it possible to get an

[fw-general] Zend_Cache & simplexml_load_file()

[ryan]

Hi guys, 

(Please forgive me if I've used the wrong mailing list.)

I was hoping someone can help me figure something out. I am trying to cache an 
object of simpleXml, obtained by parsing a third party stocks feed. It seems 
relatively straight-forward but for some reason I can save the result fine, but 
can't load it.

class IndexController extends BootstrapController
{
private $frontendOptions = array(
'lifetime' => 500,
'automatic_serialization' => FALSE // Tried playing 
with TRUE/FALSE
);
private $backendOptions = array(
'cache_dir' => './cache/xml',
'file_name_prefix' => 'cache',
);
public function init()
{
parent::init();
}
public function indexAction()
{
$method = (string) "indexStocks";
$cache = Zend_Cache::factory('Core', 'File', 
$this->frontendOptions, $this->backendOptions);  // Tried playing with options
if(!$this->view->xmlFeed = $cache->load($method))
{
$feed = simplexml_load_file('MY FEED'); // IP 
RESTRICTED FEED
$cache->save($feed, $method);
$this->view->xmlFeed = $feed;
}
$this->render();
}
}

To be clear, everything works as expected if I omit the caching, so I am 
confident it is not a problem with the feed. I could cache the view, but I 
really don't want to do that.

Anyone have any thoughts?

[fw-general] Problem with removeDefaultRoutes() and default error handling

[Ryan Lange]

In this project I'm working on I want to strictly control which routes are
valid for the application. At the moment, I have three controllers:
IndexController, ClientController, and ErrorController. I've set up 3
routes, like so:

addRoute( 'client_list', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'clients', [snipped] ) );
$router->addRoute( 'client_view', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'client/:id', [snipped] ) );
$router->addRoute( 'client_edit', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'client/:id/edit', [snipped] ) );

?>

I also set the router with the front controller's setRouter() method. With
the above setup, I can navigate to example.com/fake/ and will get the
expected, and custom, error message.

However, if I remove the default routes...

removeDefaultRoutes();
$router->addRoute( 'client_list', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'clients', [snipped] ) );
$router->addRoute( 'client_view', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'client/:id', [snipped] ) );
$router->addRoute( 'client_edit', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'client/:id/edit', [snipped] ) );

?>

...navigating to example.com/fake/ no longer invokes the expected error
message, but instead invokes the "index" action of IndexController.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Ryan Lange

[fw-general] How are you using Zend_Filter_Input?

[Ryan Lange]

I'm curious how others are using the current (as of ZF 1.0.2) 
implementation of Zend_Filter_Input. I'm trying to use it for a contact 
form, but everything I've typed out seems clumsy and overly complicated. 
(Maybe that's just the cost of flexibility, though, because even the 
"less basic" examples in the documentation look extremely convoluted.)


For instance, I have one hidden field (using CSS) on the form that's 
used in spam detection. This field needs to remain completely untouched 
by the filters I set, but in order to do that, I have to explicitly 
assign the filters to /every/ other field (14 of them) rather than use 
the "*" wildcard.


Also, I have no clue how to handle multiple fields of the same name. 
This same contact form allows the user to provide their phone number if 
they wish. This consists of 4 fields that represent parts of a U.S. 
telephone number, all with the name "phone[]": ([___]) [___]-[] ext. 
[_]


If any one can provide any insight or examples of their own of their, 
that'd be great.



Thanks,
Ryan Lange

Re: [fw-general] thought experiment: standalone app module within an app

[Ryan Brooks]

David,

As with all things in our line of work, the answer is 'Well, it depends'. I 
think the biggest problem you should consider is namespaces (or lack thereof). 
If you try to plan for a potential migration and attempt to forecast the 
problems you'll have, I don't think you'll have too many issues.

Re: [fw-general] no php closing tag?

[Ryan Brooks]

This is actually a pretty common question.

Taken straight from the Zend Coding Standards (draft) seen at:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/PHP+Coding+Standard+(draft)

"For files that contain only PHP code, the closing tag ("?>") is to be omitted. 
It is not required by PHP, and omitting it prevents trailing whitespace from 
being accidentally injected into the output."

Generally, as such, it's a good idea to omit the closing tag in PHP files 
containing only PHP code (such as class files). For things like views, which 
are mixes of PHP and HTML, close all PHP.

This will prevent you from encountering trailing whitespace, which can be a bit 
of a headache.

[fw-general] Error Handling w/ Zend DB

[Ryan Graciano]

I'm trying to handle errors appropriately after an insert into MySQL with
Zend_DB and the MySQLi plugin, but I'm having a rough time determining the
cause of the error.

For example, I'd like my application to catch the exception, determine if
the exception occurred due to a unique key violation, and then if so,
identify the column that is causing the violation.  I noticed that the type
of the exception returned is Zend_Db_Statement_Mysqli_Exception, and here's
all of the information I could get out of it -

getCode(): 0
getFile(): D:\Apache224\htdocs\CK\library\Zend\Db\Statement\Mysqli.php
getLine(): 237
getMessage(): Mysqli statement execute error : Duplicate entry '1' for key 1

Does this mean that I need to parse the message to determine exactly what
caused the exception, or is there some other way for me to perform error
handling w/ Zend DB?

Thanks,
- Ryan

[fw-general] quoteInto vs bound parameters

[Ryan Graciano]

I've been looking through the Zend_Db documentation, and I'm wondering why
you would ever want to use quoteInto() or quote() as opposed to binding your
parameters in an array.  What's the advantage to quoteInto()/quote()?  Isn't
the separation of data provided by bound parameters always going to be more
secure than attempting to manipulate the strings?  As I understand it, all
statements are prepared anyhow, so why not use more bound parameters?

For example, wouldn't bound parameters always avoid bizarre problems like
unicode SQL injections [http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=22243], whereas
with quote/quoteInto you're trusting the string parse to get it right?

I'm curious because it looks like relatively few methods (none?) in
Zend_Db_Table support bound parameters.  To use binding, I need to go to the
adapter every time, which makes my Zend_Db_Table class somewhat less
convenient.

I'm new to ZF, so maybe I'm just missing something really obvious here.  I'd
appreciate it if anyone could provide some insight.

Thanks,
- Ryan

Re: [fw-general] Error handling with mysqli adapter

[Ryan Graciano]

Thanks Eric - this was right on the money.  I found my answer here -

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg28759.html

I have a custom session handler that's actually doing the write, and it
looks like PHP is running it after the script is finished executing.  If I
move the same code into a normal block, I see a sane error message.

Thanks again,

[fw-general] ZF changing the cwd

[Ryan Graciano]

Sorry for both posts in such a short period of time, but I even though I've
worked around this in my own environment, I thought this post might save
someone else some debug effort.

I'm setting include_path with relative paths in php.ini (and appending to it
in my bootstrap script) and I'm using numerous Zend_* classes all throughout
my code without any trouble, but at one point in my application I hit an
error that indicates Zend_Filter is unable to find Zend_Loader.  This
doesn't make sense because I use Zend_Loader all over the place, including
in my bootstrap script.  After further investigation, it looks like
something is altering my working directory.  I put in an "echo getcwd();" at
the beginning of my app, and another right before I access Zend_Filter (for
the 2nd or 3rd time...), and getcwd()  clearly demonstrates that the working
directory has changed -

IINITIAL CWD: D:\Apache224\htdocs\main
Session open...
Reading session...
GC-ing sessions...
Writing session...
PRE-FILTER CWD: D:\Apache224
*Warning*: Zend_Filter::require_once(Zend/Loader.php) [

[function.require<http://localhost/CK/function.require>]:
Failed opening required 'Zend/Loader.php'
(include_path='.;./application/controllers;./application/models;./application/config;./application/util;./library')



Some random Googling brought me to this page -
http://www.php.net/ob_start
"Some web servers (e.g. Apache) change the working directory of a script
when calling the callback function. You can change it back by e.g.
chdir(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) in the callback function."


I'm using Apache, so I did a quick search through the ZF code and I found 12
different occurrences of ob_start.  To narrow it down, I threw echo
statements before each one, and the only one being called is the one in
Zend\Controller\Dispatcher\Standard.php on line 233.  Could this be a
potential defect?  Known issue?  Right now, I'm using absolute paths in my
include_path to work around it.

Thanks,
- Ryan

[fw-general] Error handling with mysqli adapter

[Ryan Graciano]

I'm getting the following error message from the mysqli adapter, and I'd
like to know how to gain access to the real error message -

Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0

In this case, the exact offending code was trying to insert an alphanumeric
string into a column with type integer -

$myquery = "INSERT INTO {$this->_name} VALUES ('thisisgoingtobreak')";
$var = $this->getAdapter()->query($myquery);

I simplified this example a great deal to demonstrate the problem, but this
was originally a tough bug to find because I'm not getting a meaningful
error message from the adapter.  Is there a way to get some more verbose
error handling?  I feel like this should have been a very simple bug to
track down if only I was given the error message.

Thanks,
- Ryan

[fw-general] Using the Redirector helper outside of an Action Controller

[Ryan Graciano]

I'm trying to implement a little routing in my bootstrap script (before the
dispatcher starts).  Essentially, under very specific conditions, I need to
alter the controller that is invoked.  I found
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker and the Redirector, but I can't seem to
get them to function outside of an Action Controller.  I've tried various
combinations of code similar to this -

$redirector =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getExistingHelper('Redirector');
$redirector->goto('index');

...but nothing seems to work. I've looked through the docs, and all of the
examples seem to function inside of a controller.  Is there an easy way to
accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Thanks,

Hi José,

Have you checked the manual for Zend_Db_Table?

getAdapter()->quoteInto('bug_status = ?', 'NEW');
$order  = 'bug_id';
// Return the 21st through 30th rows
$count  = 10;
$offset = 20;
$rows = $table->fetchAll($where, $order, $count, $offset);
?>

This is outlined further at

Send it as a RAW POST:

$clent->setRawData($XMLDATA);

and read the raw post on the server side. This is the typical way XML is
transmitted via HTTP (XML-RPC and SOAP both use it, and it's the
recommended way to POST or PUT data to REST).



Depending on what the server requires, you might also need to set the
Content-Type header to the appropriate value.  For Zend_Gdata, we use
application/atom+xml, but I suspect text/xml would be more appropriate in
your situation.

$client->setHeaders('Content-Type', 'application/atom+xml');

Cheers,

RE: [fw-general] $db->setRowClass & $db->setRowsetClass

[Ryan Brooks]

Hi Simon, Art & friends,

Thanks to Art's awesome debugging prowess (I.e. he saw something that I
didn't) it turns out that this entire problem was due to a typo in
Zend_Db_Table_Abstract. The fix follows:

GOTO: Line 582

FIND CODE BLOCK:

$data  = array(
'table'=> $this,
'data' => $this->_fetch('All', $where, $order, $count,
$offset),
'rowclass' => $this->_rowClass
);

REPLACE WITH:

$data  = array(
'table'=> $this,
'data' => $this->_fetch('All', $where, $order, $count,
$offset),
'rowClass' => $this->_rowClass
);

Commit at your leisure.

I have tested this initially and it seems to work for me. I will continue to
advise as I use.

Simon, Art, thanks for your help!

-Ryan

PS: Simon, I'll look into getting some unit tests going.

In Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::fetchAll() we have
$data  = array(
'table'=> $this,
'data' => $this->_fetch('All', $where, $order, $count,
$offset),
'rowclass' => $this->_rowClass

return new $this->_rowsetClass($data);

And in Zend_Db_Table_Rowset_Abstract::__construct() we have:
if (isset($config['rowClass'])) {
$this->_rowClass   = $config['rowClass'];
}

Almost as though the code was released without testing.  Which I guess is
consistent with the fact that there are no DB_Table/Row tests in the
delivered version.

RE: [fw-general] $db->setRowClass & $db->setRowsetClass

[Ryan Brooks]

Hi Simon,

 

Yup, setting protected $_rowClass = 'Account'; does work. However, I plan on
lazy loading a lot of my definitions so I can do something like:

 

class Accounts extends Custom_Db_Table_Which_Extends_Zend_Db_Table
implements Custom_Action_Insert_Delete_Authorize

{

public function _setup($config = array())

{

$this->_name = __CLASS__;

$this->setRowClass(

Utility_String_Ucfirst::returnString(

 
Utility_String_Inflector_Singularize::returnString(

$this->_name)));

parent::_setup($config);

}

}

 

Really it's six in one and half a dozen in the other, just a personal
preference, seeing how far I can push ZF. Unfortunately, this method didn't
work from my initial tests, bringing us to the problem at hand.

 

Alas, I do need the custom rowset. I have some methods on the entire
resultset that I'd like to use in the future. (For instance, pagination
utilizing view helpers).

 

I'd really like if you (or someone) can poke around and see what's going
wrong, if anything. Otherwise my experience during my upgrade has been very
positive.

 

Thanks! Hope to hear from you soon!

 

-Ryan

Hi Ryan

 

I had a quick look at your table/row definitions.

 

This will work:-

 

class Accounts extends Zend_Db_Table

{

protected $_name = 'accounts';

protected $_rowClass = 'Account';

}

 

You don't need the extra Rowset definition if there's no specific
functionality you need to add - in most cases the default rowSet class is
adequate.

 

What puzzles me is that your '$this->setRowClass('Account')' _should_ have
worked. I'll do some digging later to see if anything is awry and post a
JIRA issue if it turns out to be the case.

 

Cheers



Update:

 

Now I know I've missed something.

 

In my debugging process, here's what I did.

 

Open: Zend/DB/Table/Rowset/Abstract.php

Goto Line: 71

Replace Value of: protected $_rowClass = 'Zend_Db_Table_Row'

With: protected $_rowClass = 'Account'

 

Have access to Account->helloWorld();

 

I'll keep digging, I seem to be missing a step along the way.

Hi guys, this email will be a little long to explain my confusion, please
bear with me.

 

I am trying to create some domain logic in my result objects so I have
access to methods on rowsets and rows. It kinda works, but kinda doesn't.
Unfortunately I think I am either missing something completely, or what I'm
trying to do just isn't possible.

 

I am using the latest nightly build.

 

This all came from wanting to change this: $article =
$db->query($sql)->fetchObject(__CLASS__); 

 

Here's my error:

 

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Db_Table_Row_Exception' with message
'Unrecognized method 'helloWorld()'' in
D:\_php\www\includes\Zend\Db\Table\Row\Abstract.php

 

Well, that's obvious - I'm trying to access a non-existent method.

 

However, here's some code. I hope that you'll be able to understand at a
glance what I'm trying to do. I have stripped out most of my un-needed code.
I can verify that the database has connected, and the view object does
exist.

 

class AccountsController extends BootstrapController

{

public function indexAction()

  {

$accounts = new Accounts();

$this->view->accounts = $accounts->fetchAll();

 

Zend_Debug::dump($this->view->accounts); // debug

 

foreach($this->view->accounts as $account)

{

  echo $account->helloWorld(); // This is the cause of our
problem

}

  }

}

class Accounts extends Zend_Db_Table

{

  public function _setup($config = array())

  {

$this->_name = 'accounts';

$this->setRowClass('Account'); // this seems to be ignored

$this->setRowsetClass('AccountsRowset');

parent::_setup($config);

  }

}

class AccountsRowset extends Zend_Db_Table_Rowset

{

  public function _setup($config = array())

  {

$this->_name = 'accounts';

$this->setRowClass('Account'); // this seems to be ignored

parent::_setup($config);

  }

}

class Account extends Zend_Db_Table_Row

{

  public function _setup($config = array())

  {

$this->_name = 'accounts';

parent::_setup($config);

  }

  public function helloWorld()

  {

return 'hello ' . $this->name;

  }

}

 

Now. When I look at the dump(), I can see the data. The row class and rowset
class is being set. However, it is still calling Zend_Db_Table_Row. To aid
in debugging, here is my dump.

RE: [fw-general] Great work with 0.9

[Ryan Brooks]

I second this statement. I've been working with ZF since 0.2 and I grow
increasingly impressed with it! 0.9 is, obviously, the best release EVAH!

Thank you so much!

What can I say, I'm developing several big applications which ZF and even
with the API changes from 0.8 took a while to fix I applaud for them. Sure
there are bugs and inconsistencies both in manual and the framework itself
but it does not make it unusable. I understand that people want to be on the
bleeding edge and so on but lets give the developers a break with a cookie
or two.

Just think about where you would be without ZF. Maybe writing filter for
user input? Maybe some SQL? Maybe implementing your version of ACL and Auth?
Yes, it can be fruitful to do those for personal experience but in a
business world that's simply a no-no.

Let's all take a break with a cookie :)

I don't understand why the camel case conversion has been dropped? 

As far as I can see all variables (in ZF) are camelCased, even the PDF
document "Best Practices of PHP Development" written by Zend states that all
variables should be camelCased. So why change it for Zend_Db? Doesn't seem
to make much sense as an element of consistency has been lost here.

Basic problem is that the pdo adapter has:
// force names to lower case
$this->_connection->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_CASE,
PDO::CASE_LOWER);

You will have to figure out how to change it to CASE_NATURAL.  Even then I
suspect you might have trouble with case sensitivity.

I myself rather liked the camel case conversion.  It being dropped is one
of the reasons I gave up on Zend_Db.

RE: [fw-general] Zend_Db_Table_Row __get()

[Ryan Brooks]

It appears that all column preparation has been removed on each row.

0.8 Usage:

CREATE TABLE `accounts` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `date_entered` datetime default NULL,
  `date_modified` datetime default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

foreach($this->account as $account)
{
echo $account->dateModified;
}

Current 0.9 Usage: (untested)

foreach($this->account as $account)
{
echo $account->date_modified;
}

I never liked the camel-casing. I found it confusing. I like the 0.9 usage
better because I know exactly what to expect. The camel-casing limited
system predictability. (This can of course be argued both ways).

Bug? Feature?

Hello,

Prior to 0.9, I was using underscored field names in my MySQL database and
relying on Zend_Db's inflector to produce nice Camel-cased field names
within the Zend framework. Since 0.9 with the inflector gone, I switched my
field name in the database to camel case so I didn't have to refactor a lot
of code. Unforunately I think I found a bug when I did this.

All over my app I get exceptions saying the field (jobId for example) isn't
found! I dumped out the Db_Row and all the fieldnames have been lower cased.

I'm using MySQL's PDO. Anyone know whats causing my plight?
