[fw-general] Problem with Zend_Http_Client $config['timeout'] value
Hello, I use Zend XmlRpc and I faced the following problem: When the function on our server needs more execution time, the connection times out, but no Exception is raised. Instead Unable to parse response or response is empty error is displayed. This is because when the connection times out, no response is returned and no timeout Exception is raised. In Zend_Http_Client there is protected $config = array( 'maxredirects'= 5, 'strictredirects' = false, 'useragent' = 'Zend_Http_Client', 'timeout' = 10, 'adapter' = 'Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Socket', 'httpversion' = self::HTTP_1, 'keepalive' = false ); The $config['timeout'] is used for two different functions: fsockopen() and stream_set_timeout() but the timeout parameter has different meaning in each of them. * Note: * If you need to set a timeout for reading/writing data over the socket, use stream_set_timeout()http://bg2.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-set-timeout.php, as the * timeout* parameter to *fsockopen()* only applies while connecting the socket. - http://php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php stream_set_timeout — Set timeout period on a stream - http://php.net/manual/en/function.stream-set-timeout.php I temporary resolved the problem by increasing the value from 10 to 60, but it should be fixed. There should be two different timeouts - connect_timeout and transfer_timeout. There should be Exception for timeout, because: When the stream times out, the 'timed_out' key of the array returned by stream_get_meta_data()http://bg.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-get-meta-data.phpis set to * TRUE*, although no error/warning is generated. - http://php.net/manual/en/function.stream-set-timeout.php Svetlin Tsvetanov -- http://www.gsoccer.info

[fw-general] Charset question
Hi As I've seen, some components of ZF works with UTF-8 by default (Zend_Search, Zend_Locale, ...). So, is it better for us to develop with UTF-8 for the entire application as ZF will work this way? We're developing applications only for a local market, so we're sure that iso-8859-1 is enough for us. Shall we change to UTF-8 to avoid future problems with the ZF? The database (postgresql) is in Latin1 and the PHP headers are in iso-8859-1, but i know PHP is not very utf8-friendy yet. -- Xavier Vidal Piera Enginyer Tècnic Informàtic de Gestió Tècnic Especialista Informàtic d'equips [EMAIL PROTECTED] 610.68.41.78

Virtual cookie for the one helping me out :) Definitely go for the array of menu items. A simple rule to follow is give the view simple data structures only. Otherwise, should your application code switch from Zend_Acl to something else, you would need to change every view involved. Federico
Re: [fw-general] ACL and Views
Hi Stephan
In a few of my projects I created a Sitemap class that parsed a
config file (e.g. Zend_Config) where each member has a title, a
controller and an action.
E.g. (in .ini format)
[all]
sitemap.home.title = Home
sitemap.home.controller = home
sitemap.home.action = index
sitemap.news.title = News
sitemap.news.controller = news
sitemap.news.action = index
sitemap.protected.title = Protected Section
sitemap.protected.controller = protected
sitemap.protected.action = index
sitemap.contact.title = Contact
sitemap.contact.controller = contact
sitemap.contact.action = index
The 'Sitemap' class takes both the Zend_Config instance and the Acl
instance and iterates through the sitemap, testing each controller/
action against the Acl. This happens in the constructor. If a
controller is allowed, it's added to the internal $_sitemap array as
an object. So when it comes time to outputting it to my view, you
simply iterate through the sitemap instance and there's no extra
logic to be parsed.
An example is:-
class Sitemap implements Iterator, Countable
{
// A simplified sitemap, having only 1 level deep of navigation.
// An exercise for the roll-your-own developer is to make a
version that allows nesting/children
protected $_data = array();
protected $_ptr = 0;
public function __construct(Zend_Config $config, Zend_Acl, $acl,
$role = null)
{
foreach ($config as $key = $value) {
// We'll assume that non-existent resources are allowed
for this exercise
if (!$acl-has($value-controller) ||
$acl-isAllowed($role, $value-controller, $value-
action))) {
$this-_data[$key] = array('title' = $value,
'url' = array
('controller' = $value-controller,
'action' = $value-action));
}
}
}
/**
* Magic method for retrieving properties.
*
* @param string $key
* @return mixed
*/
public function __get($key)
{
if (array_key_exists($key, $this-_data)) {
return $this-_data[$key];
}
return null;
}
/**
* Magic method for setting properties.
*
* @param string $name
* @param mixed $value
* @return void
*/
public function __set($key, $value)
{
$this-_data[$key] = $value;
}
/**
* Support isset() overloading on PHP 5.1
*
* @param string $name
* @return boolean
*/
protected function __isset($name)
{
return isset($this-_data[$name]);
}
/**
* Defined by Countable interface
*
* @return int
*/
public function count()
{
return count($this-_data);
}
/**
* Defined by Iterator interface
*
* @return mixed
*/
public function current()
{
return current($this-_data);
}
/**
* Defined by Iterator interface
*
* @return mixed
*/
public function key()
{
return key($this-_data);
}
/**
* Defined by Iterator interface
*
*/
public function next()
{
if (next($this-_data) === false) {
$this-_ptr = false;
} else {
$this-_ptr = true;
}
}
/**
* Defined by Iterator interface
*
*/
public function rewind()
{
reset($this-_data);
$this-_ptr = true;
}
/**
* Defined by Iterator interface
*
* @return boolean
*/
public function valid()
{
return $this-_ptr;
}
}
IN your bootstrap you instantiate it:-
$acl = new Zend_Acl();
$acl-addResource(new Zend_Acl_Resource('protected'));
$acl-deny(null, 'protected'); // Created a protected area for the
purpose of demonstration
$sitemapConfig = new Zend_Config(new Zend_Config_Ini('/path/to/
config.ini'));
$sitemap = new Sitemap($sitemapConfig, $acl); // A 3rd arg $role can
be added here if desired (see above)
$view-sitemap = $sitemap;
...and in your view, it's as simple as:-
?php
ul class=menu
?php foreach ($this-sitemap as $id = $section): ?
lia href=?php echo $this-url($section-url, null, true); ?
?php echo $this-escape($section-title) ?/a/li
?php endforeach; ?
/ul
I can't say if it's best practice, but it works for me and the views
end up being a lot cleaner for other designers/developers to read.
Cheers
this is something that interests me a lot as well. Unfortunately, this
topic is not covered in Simons article. Are there best practises for
making views visible/invisible depending on particular user roles?

Re: [fw-general] Zend_View Best-Practice Composite-View
Nesting of views is supported, but controllers can not currently be nested. Controllers can be chained using Zend_Controller_Action::_forward(). Unlike some other MVC patterns, views also do not contain sub-controllers. If you seek only nesting of views, see the recently added support for named segments in the response body: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-1024?page=com.cenqua.fisheye.jira:fisheye-tabpanel You might need to click on the FishEye link on the page above to see the relevant notes for the new methods. Named segments simplifies managing nested views, and assembling the results into a greater whole. The ZF Demo tutorial will include an example of nested views, after ZF 0.9 is released.

[fw-general] A new diamond has been arised
Hy interrested fellows, I am very happy that I can announce you the inclusion of Zend_Translate into the core. It is avaiable since SVN 3933 and will be included within Release 0.9 This diamond or gem is the last milestone for all of you who want to create fully internationalized applications with the Zend_Framework. It has several great advantages. One is that it does not need any extension enabled even not for gettext. We have included a documentation with examples, so you can see how simple the creation of a internationalized application is. Included are Adapters for * Array * Gettext * Csv * Tmx * Xliff Additional adapters are planned and will be included after the release of 1.0 like a sql adapter or a qt adapter. I hope you enjoy our work and make good applications and websites with it ;-) Greetings Thomas I18N Team Leader and Main Coder for Zend_Translate
[fw-general] Thank you
Hi all, Short story: Thank you to everyone involved in the Zend Framework. You have re-ignited my interest in developing PHP applications and helped me learn a hell of a lot in the process :) Long story: As a self-taught developer, I started many years ago with a BBS system called Proboard. Proboard had a C SDK that allowed you to write add-ons (PEX) which where essentially executables that would run within Proboard and give access to the BBS's functions. After that, I wrote add-ons for various other programs / scripts until a couple of years ago when I started writing modifications for the vBulletin forum software. After about a year and a half I became disillusioned with the slow progress of vBulletin and decided to cast out and start writing fresh new PHP applications, rather than writing modifications for pre-built scripts and applications. It then became painfully obvious to me that writing complete PHP scripts was exceptionally hard. With Proboard / vBulletin / etc, all of the core bits where taken care of. For example, connection to databases, handling input filtering, and so on. After writing all of these methods / libraries from scratch I decided that perhaps PHP development wasn't for me. At this point, I decided to branch out in to Windows programming and played about with Visual C# for about 6 months until that one glorious day I accidentally discovered the Zend Framework. Without realising it, I had essentially been using frameworks all of my programming life in one form or another, be it the Probard SDK or extending vBulletin. To discover a nice, easy to use Framework for my favourite programming language (Yes, PHP :D) was incredible. Since I've started investigating / playing with the Zend Framework a month or 2 ago, I feel that I have learnt so much about PHP, OOP and software development as a whole. It has really opened my eyes to the possibilities that software development has to offer when done right. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved in the Zend Framework project, and that I'm looking forward to v1.0 and the great new features that are bound to follow. Keep up the great work all! Kind regards, Alan.
Re: [fw-general] Hooking your unit tests into the overall structure
I'm not a phpunit pro, but normally it's very easy. There's a file called AllTests.php in the test root and every subdirectory and they are chained together (AllTests.php is included and called by AllTests.php in its parent directory). You'd normally just add your testcase files to the AllTests.php file and if had to create a new one you add it to the parent one. I just did what everyone else did in the existing files. If you need any configuration there's the file TestConfiguration.php.dist and TestConfiguration.php in the test root. The last one is ignored by svn and used if both exists. Just add some sane defaults to TestConfiguration.php.dist and your actual test configuration to the other. nico [14.03.2007 14:58] Chris Hartjes wrote: This is probably a very stupid question that I have been unable to find the answers for, so feel free to educate me and point out where I went wrong.
