Okay, this sounds like one of two things:

  * Either the css and image files are not under your public directory,
OR
  * You've got a bad rewrite rule, and *all* files are getting routed to
the front controller instead of omitting static content

What does your rewrite rule look like? Is it the one from the
documentation:

RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php

You said, "this is where I placed the library folder from the ZF download."
Did you mean that literally or did you put the Zend folder in library? Is
it:

c:\wamp\library\library\Zend

or:

c:\wamp\library\Zend

You want the second one.

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Validate_NotEmpty special case to handle '0'

[Pieter]

Hi Amr,

Zend_Validate_NotEmpty is expected to behave on the same way as the 
empty() function. So, there is no need to change this behaviour. And I 
could also imagine cases where you allow a '0' to be posted. You should 
create an own validator for this (I thought Zend_Form used 
Zend_Loader_PluginLoader for this, so it shouldn't be hard to add an own 
validator).

  1. Validating numbers, which could have 0 as perfectly valid input.
  2. Validating input of radio options that have one of their items'

I understand that this is due to PHP's empty() but I was also

All,

This is my first post to the list, and also my first project with ZF.

I'm trying to implement Zend_Layout with all the MVC elements outside

This won't work, as Redirector::redirect('foo') will return 0. Just
replace the is_int() with is_numeric() and cast it to an integer before
sending the header to make sure it is not a float.

Greetings! 

I am a total newbie and I can install ZF. I have downloaded the latest copy
of the zend framework. My root directory is located @ c:\wamp\www\ . I set
the the include_path in my php.ini file to c:\wamp\library (this is where i

RE: [fw-general] zend.com, a bit slow?

[Andi Gutmans]

Btw, one thing Matthew forgot to mention is that the XML-RPC goes to a legacy 
PHP app which is one of the main bottlenecks (which is why it wasn't trivial to 
fix - a lot of old code there). Over time we will move more and more business 
logic into the front-end layer which is new, performs much better and is also 
utilizing ZF.

The problem with is_numeric is that floats also evaluate to true -- and
we don't want floats. So, casting explicitly to integer *prior* to
testing is a safer and saner approach for us.

[fw-general] Zend_Config_XML charset encoding

[Denis Fohl]

Hi,

it's my first message on this list and I want first thanks all the 
people involved into ZF devloppement for their good work. I'm beginning 
using the zend framework for my job now.


Using Zend_Config_XML I have got a problem with latin charset. My 
initial xml file is encoded in latin1, then I retrieve the datas through 
zend_config_xml and display it in a html page with latin1 charset 
declared. The accents and special characters are not display correctly. 
If I change the encoding for the html to utf8 then it's ok for those 
datas but it does not fit with the datas coming from my database.
The solution i found is to convert dats from config object with 
utf8_decode function before each echo.


It seems that zend_config_xml convert characters to utf8 internaly.

Is there a lighter solution than utf8_decode ? i can't find the way to 
manage encoding within zend_config_xml


Thank you for your answers and sorry for my english

Denis.

Andi's given me the go-ahead to respond to this. :-)

There were a few things that affected our performance. First off,
Zend.com moved to a new datacenter just a couple months ago, and we had
a variety of factors that contributed to the issue:

  * More sites utilizing the same master database
  * Heavier requirements for the front-end web servers, but on machines
that had slightly fewer resources (in terms of processors and RAM)
  * Huge amounts of traffic
  * Incomplete caching strategy

We're working on improving the specs on the servers, and potentially
providing additional servers to the pool, but that takes time. To help
in the near-term, we did a number of things, but the two largest were:

  * We'd been using partial-content caching to Zend Platform using
Zend_Cache. We quickly realized that the only reason we needed
partial caching was due to the 'login/logout' buttons (which are
dependent on state). We removed these (keeping only the 'My Account')
button (we'll replace with a client-side solution soon). This allows
us to use full-page dynamic content caching via Platform --
effectively by-passing the PHP engine entirely for requests to
cached pages. 

  * We also setup a filter in our templating engine to rewrite image
URLs to the Content Delivery Network (CDN) we use for our product
downloads, and set up processes to sync all images to the CDN. This
offloads a ton of requests from our server, opening more apache
processes for visitors.

These two changes (plus a number of other minor tweaks) have allowed us
to handle nearly the same amount of traffic this past week as we
received last week, only this time without melting our servers while
still allowing people to actually get to the site. :-)

We also have a middle-tier of XML-RPC servers to which our site makes
many requests. A lot of these requests are read-only, and one of my
co-workers has been writing up a layer on both Zend_XmlRpc_Server and
Zend_XmlRpc_Client for caching requests. Based on the benchmarks he's
done so far, this could potentially be another huge performance gain.
Those contributions will eventually find their way back into ZF.

Have you actually experienced an issue with that? My understanding is
that PHP will convert it to an integer before sending it anyways.

I probably should not guess any further. :) I'll recommend to use
profiling to determine the cause(s) of your performance degradation. :)

I just happened to be aware (having made the changes myself) of a
not-so-fast Zend_Loader implementation pursuant to:

http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-2463

This implementation made it into 1.5.0 PR before I could change it, but
the latest SVN version of it does not have the error handling functions
about which I was concerned. Instead, errors in included files will
simply be handled in the normal PHP way. :)

Okay, so in this case, it's not reasonably possible for you not to use
Zend_Loader. That's fine. I was really more concerned about the version
that came with 1.5.0 PR than the version from 1.0.3 or the version that
will be in 1.5.0 RC1.

Darby

It's possible. 

We have been doing some performance tweaking of Zend_Loader, trying to
optimize the algorithm (we've received some detailed complaints that
were pointing to Zend_Loader as a bottleneck).

However, in doing those changes, several users reported that they were
no longer receiving expected errors for missing files. Darby tried to
address that, and introduced some code for better error reporting. This
code was setting up and tearing down error handlers so that it could
create error objects that could in turn be thrown. It was a nice design,
but our conclusion is that it likely negated most of the other
performance tweaks.

> I rather thought that amendments to other components like Zend_Db or

I know of no changes to Zend_Controller that would have affected
performance. There were tweaks done for 1.0.3 to *speed up*
Zend_Controller, and those remain in place; the only other work on
Zend_Controller recently has been bugfixes by Martel.

Zend_Db is another matter, and I'd need to defer to Simon, Thomas, and
Darby for that.

Re: [fw-general] Addition of utility classes to ZF

[Darby Felton]

Hi Steven,

We have an implementation of the Luhn algorithm within
Zend_Validate_Ccnum, though I'm pretty sure we have not implemented the
Verhoeff algorithm anywhere. (Please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.)

I think that such validation may fit nicely into the Zend_Validate
"namespace", but if you are interested in contributing this and other
utilities to Zend Framework, please see:

http://framework.zend.com/community/contribute

for more information. Probably it would be good to describe the
utilities and getting some more feedback before making any judgment
about whether they would be worth including. :)

There is also a proposal process for making ZF contributions:

http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Home

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Zend Framework! :)

Best regards,
Darby

Well, I would say that the Zend_Loader that came with ZF 1.5.0 PR is not
as fast as it could be and should probably not be used in production
without some impact testing. That said, it may work fine for you,
depending on the situation. There is no doubt a penalty for using
autoloading, more so with the Zend_Loader of ZF 1.5.0 PR, but whether
that penalty is acceptable to you completely depends on the situation.

I recently removed some performance-hindering error handling code from
Zend_Loader, so the latest version in trunk should be much better, and
this would be included with ZF 1.5.0 RC1.

Darby

Thanks Michał, but it doesn't work. It never ends loading the page... :(

And I think it wouldn't be appropiate because ALL the controllers will redirect

Share Alike is also more GPL than BSD.

Also, it must be said there's a reason attribution was dropped from most
BSD style licenses (i.e. it became a complete pain).

I assumed by Simone's comments though that his friend was happy to
change the license to something that was compatible.

Re: [fw-general] Proposal for a user agent component

[Christer Edvartsen]

I think the user agent component should be a separate component, and 
have the context switcher configured to be "aware" of different 
parameters. If the switcher is set up to be aware of user agents it 
could then use the user agent component to figure out the user agent.


No everyone uses the MVC part of ZF and thats why I would like to have 
the user agent component as a separate component.

ContextSwitch currently only looks for a given parameter in the request.
However, once we have UserAgent detection, I can write support for that
into ContextSwitch. UserAgent support will *not* happen by 1.5, however.

Actually, no. Second array you pass to route constructor are the 
requirements. As you see it says 'families or categories', so setting the 
first part of the url to anything but those will result in a negative 
match. After that next route in the chain will be tried.

Try this one instead:

$router->addRoute(
'families', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':type/:action/*',
array('module' => 'default', 'controller' => 'categories', 'action' => 
'index'))
array('type' => '(categories|families)')

This way you will have 'type' parameter in your actions ready for inclusion

It probably shouldn't - could you create a Jira issue for this?

Re: [fw-general] Slow performance with ZF 1.5.0PR on a live server

Hi Darby,

Thanks for the quick improvement. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to
switch between ZF 1.0.3 and 1.5.0 because my application currently based
on ZF 1.0.3 needs some amendments to work with 1.5.0. So I removed all
these amendments again and switched back to 1.0.3 to get the site back
running properly.

Our live server environment is not set up to switch between ZF versions
on the fly. So it will be not so easy to test the fix. I guess I will
need to wait until 1.5.0RC1 or GA release to test my live application
again.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Ralf

Yep! I know that and generally I never do such "mad" things, but this
time I did it. I will probably wait for 1.5.0GA until I move to the
1.5.0 version next time.

But could this problem really result in a quadruplication of the run
time for almost all pages? I rather thought that amendments to other
components like Zend_Db or Zend_Controller might have caused the
performance decrease.

This is not so easy to accomplish since my whole application relies on
Zend_Loader. All classes I use should be loaded by Zend_Loader and I
don't really get the point of a Zend_Loader class if it is not
recommended to use it
