I'm just at the point where I'm going to implement some ajax-features
in a somewhat bigger ZF based project.
Hi!
The next year (in januar, 2009) i will graduate on the University and
my thesis is build an application from open source tools. The tools are
php (Zend Framework), PostgreSQL and AJAX (jQuery). The first problem
was the php-AJAX co-operation. I think Zend Framework in this time not
so realy support the AJAX. This is my opinion, but I know this problem
is realy difficult. I haven't got time waiting the solution so I make
one.
The basic thing about me:
- I don't like write html
- I don't like write javascript
I wrote 2 class. The first make a html elements.
class HTML_Factory {
//there are the html factory methods
}
The View_Helpers is extends the HTML_Factory class
class CreateBody extends HTML_Factory{
public function CreateBody() {
return $body;
}
}
The second class is the AJAX_Factory. This class make the jQuery source
code.
This way is working me and I can - relative - fast building
applications. But I know this isn't the best way. Sometime I have to
refactor the AJAX_Factory class and this will be better day after
day. :)
In the next few days I will rebuild my blog and I will put the all
sourcecode there.
Sorry my English.

RE: [fw-general] Zend_Translate doesn't cache when addTranslation is called
Hi Rob,
I have come up with my own plugin that auto loads the translations and
caches them. The code may not be perfect but hopefully it gives you an
idea:
BEGIN
class MyPlugin_Language extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
$locale = new Zend_Locale();
/**
* Cache options
*/
$frontendOptions = array('cache_id_prefix' = 'MyApp', 'lifetime' =
86400);
$backendOptions = array('cache_dir' = 'cache');
$cache = Zend_Cache::factory('Core', 'File', $frontendOptions,
$backendOptions);
Zend_Translate::setCache($cache);
$options = array('scan' = Zend_Translate::LOCALE_DIRECTORY);
/**
* Scan languages dir. For CSV language files. Auto-detect browser
* language settings
*/
$translate = new Zend_Translate('csv', 'languages', 'auto',
$options);
/**
* If browser language setting is not available default to English
*/
if (!$translate-isAvailable($locale-getLanguage())) {
$locale-setLocale('en');
}
$translate-setLocale($locale);
Zend_Registry::set('Zend_Translate', $translate);
}
}
END

Subject: [fw-general] Zend_Translate doesn't cache when addTranslation is
called
I wrote a custom adapter and am trying to load 13 different languages from
files. I can't simply read the entire directory because I am using
non-standard locale names and need full control. So in my bootstrap I call
the Zend_Translate constructor for my first language and then call
addTranslation for each of the remaining languages.
All of the languages get cached, but only the Zend_Translate constructor
actually checks to see if a language has been cached. If you call
addTranslation directly, it *always* calls the adapter to load the file.
For now as a workaround, I manually check to see if Zend_Cache already has
the key 'Zend_Translate_[my adapter here]' cached. But really, Zend should
simply check the cache for a hit every time addTranslation is called, right?

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Translate doesn't cache when addTranslation is called
Thomas,
Thank you for such a quick and detailed reply to my question. I was
originally using the directory search with a constructor like this:
$translate = new Zend_Translate('[our custom adapter]', '/path_here', null,
array('scan' = Zend_Translate::LOCALE_FILENAME));
I had several translation files in a single directory:
en.txt
de.txt
...
zh_CN.txt
zh_TW.txt
...
en and de (and any other 2-letter language code) worked fine. But the
problem was that zh_CN and zh_TW were both getting saved under the key zh.
When I tried to access the data like this...
if($translate-isAvailable('zh_CN'))
...it would be false. So then I changed to call addTranslation once for
every language like this...
$translate-addTranslation('/path_here/zh_CN.txt', 'zh_CN');
...then when I call isAvailable('zh_CN') it would be true. Is there a
different way to support both zh_CN and zh_TW?
Thanks,
Rob

RE: [fw-general] Zend_Translate doesn't cache when addTranslation is called
Hi Rob,
My code snippet seems to be handling this. I just did a quick test whereby
I had the following language dir. Structure:
En
- lang.en
En_US
- lang.en_US
If I set my browser to en-us then it picks up the en_US lang file, if I
don't have a language set in my browser it defaults to en.
As, stated before don't use the addTranslation method, this didn't work for
me either and I had no end of troubles.

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Translate doesn't cache when addTranslation is called
UPDATE:
After a message from Robert Castley (thanks), I tried directory scan instead
of filename scan. It seemed to work. Here is an example of what works and
what doesn't work for me:
-
WORKS:
($dir contains folders zh_CN/ zh_TW/ en/ and de/ with translation files
inside)
$translate = new Zend_Translate('my_custom_adapter', $dir, null,
array('scan' = Zend_Translate::LOCALE_DIRECTORY));
print_r($translate-getList());
prints: Array ( [en] = en [zh_TW] = zh_TW [zh_CN] = zh_CN [de] = de )
-
DOESN'T WORK:
($dir contains files zh_CN.txt zh_TW.txt en.txt and de.txt)
$translate = new Zend_Translate('my_custom_adapter', $dir, null,
array('scan' = Zend_Translate::LOCALE_FILENAME));
print_r($translate-getList());
prints: Array ( [en] = en [de] = de [zh] = zh )
I will continue with DIRECTORY, but I would prefer to use FILENAME, but what
am I doing wrong that it combines zh_CN and zh_TW into a single locale?

Re: [fw-general] ZF - APC tuning
Please take one thing on consideration : when using Windows to benchmark , turn your AV and all those kind of services OFF. I ran an APC test as well on Windows ( for fun ), and with / without my AntiVirus solution == I got twice more requests per second without it !! I ran an ab with something like -n 80 -c 40 , (no DB, no session ), results were poor, but that is an OS problem , Windows is not good at all to support such PHP apps ( in fact it 'may' be, but a Windows developer platform cant give good results). With APC, I got about twice more requests served than without. I noticed as well that APC should be fined configured. 1 or 2 more MB for the memory segment can improve / degrade performance with a big factor. Conclusion : do test on Windows if you want, but dont be surprised if you have (very) poor performance results. There are several Windows services that can knock the performance, not talking about the so bad File System.

Re: [fw-general] Google App Engine
Sure, support for PHP itself would be great and would be all that's * technically* required. I guess I was really suggesting two things. First, that Google App Engine supports PHP and uses Zend Framework as the default web application framework. Second, components are added to Zend Framework to support the datastore, Google Accounts, URL fetch and email services in Google App Engine. It seems like Zend Framework would be a natural fit for the Google App Engine.

Hi there, As a developer who builds and tests apps on Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP stack and run release versions on a Linux server optimised for web serving, I can confirm the following from my experience... I built a project which functions like RinkWorks' Dialectizer - www.thevoicesofmany.com - go fetch a webpage, run through all of the non-tag text and apply one or more code-defined rules to it. Some of the rulesets had massive lists of regular expressions to be applied, others had a few lines of code. Due to the size of the library of these and to prevent memory usage being 4MB (limit of the hosting plan I used to have), these were dynamically loaded, after the requested module had been verified against a DB I had. (There were other things in the MySQL DB I had, and the host wasn't supporting anything like SQLite) What I found though, was that against both the original hosting plan and the current shared host I use, Windows performance is *still* consistently slower, anything from 20% to 300% slower with the same input data. Even when the input source was local on all instances, Windows was still consistently the slowest. This is true for both Win98 and WinXP, with all unrelated services turned off, even when my host PC is considerably more powerful than the available shared resources I worked with. (A 2.2GHz 4-core processor handling a couple of thousand websites isn't going to be able to devote too much resource to a single site, certainly no more than a AMD 4200+ 2-core running as my home machine) After much benchmarking and testing, I found that the core processing/regexp handling modules are comparable, and that by far the biggest hog is file access. So if you have a lot of require's or include's, or use a lot, you'll find it will benchmark much slower in Windows. I should add that neither the current server nor my machine has any kind of caching going on. Another example, I've been working with Zend_Search_Lucene a lot lately. Indexing several hundred documents at a time is considerably quicker on a shared Linux resource than it is on my PC. Again, it seems to be down to the limitations of the filesystem and bottlenecks in the file I/O subsystems in Windows. Sorry for waffling, Pete Please take one thing on consideration : when using Windows to benchmark , turn your AV and all those kind of services OFF. I ran an APC test as well on Windows ( for fun ), and with / without my AntiVirus solution == I got twice more requests per second without it !! I ran an ab with something like -n 80 -c 40 , (no DB, no session ), results were poor, but that is an OS problem , Windows is not good at all to support such PHP apps ( in fact it 'may' be, but a Windows developer platform cant give good results). With APC, I got about twice more requests served than without. I noticed as well that APC should be fined configured. 1 or 2 more MB for the memory segment can improve / degrade performance with a big factor. Conclusion : do test on Windows if you want, but dont be surprised if you have (very) poor performance results. There are several Windows services that can knock the performance, not talking about the so bad File System. (you should try to put your session data in memory such as memcache for tests as well) Cheers Julien.P 2008/4/8 James Dempster [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: I also get the same kind of results on Windows, installing APC for me actually slows down the requests. My PC is dual booted so I tested the setup in Ubuntu Linux which was so amazingly fast. *Tested on: *Intel Dual Core 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM etc etc *Tested using: *ab -n 2000 http://localhost/ (No concurancy cause we're testing response speed not server load) Website tested usues the following (but not limited to) ZF components MVC including Modules, Zend_Db + Db_Table etc (metadata cached in Zend_Cache sqlite), Zend_Config_Ini, Zend_Registry, Zend_Log, Zend_Session and all classes associated with them. Some custom models. So it's a fairly good senario. There's no extra caching other than the Zend_Db_Table metadata. Windows XP Pro SP2, Apache2 mod_php = 450ms Windows XP Pro SP2, Apache2 mod_php + apc = 500ms Ubuntu Linux 7.10, Apache2 mod_php= 150ms Ubuntu Linux 7.10, Apache2 mod_php + apc = 50ms This goes to show that ZF is not at fault here. I'm not even sure if Windows is at fault as I've heard great results about the new php fast cgi + iis 6. It just seems that Apache + PHP + Windows is a bad mix (for production). -- /James On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 7:02 PM, Aldemar Bernal [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, after a weekend of testing I found that: - fastcgi (using zend core fastcgi and other fastcgi) didn't give me better results than using the mod_php, I couldn't test using

I will continue with DIRECTORY, but I would prefer to use FILENAME, but what
am I doing wrong that it combines zh_CN and zh_TW into a single locale?

[fw-general] Best way to load Zend_Form_Element_* classes
Hi All,
I'm just using components of the Zend Framework in my application, and one
of those is Zend_Form which in my header file I'm loading like:
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Form');
But when I go to instantiate a text element like:
$usrename = new Zend_Form_Element_Text( 'username');
I got the Class 'Zend_Form_Element_Text' not found error. So I tried loading
the Zend_Form_Element_Text class like so:
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Form_Element_Text');
My question is do I really need to load each element, I'm figuring there
must be a cleaner way to do load each form element class.
Thanks, Mark

i would write in the index.php file top of the code
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();
Then you dont need to load each class seperatly

[fw-general] Zend_Form feature request - nested display groups
I use display groups to create containers with id attributes to manipulate

groups.
I tried something like this (elemX is any form element):
$form-addDisplayGroup(array('elem1','elem2'), 'group1',
array('id'='group1'));
$form-addDisplayGroup(array('group1','elem3'), 'group2',

and want result like:
group2
group1
elem1elem2
/group1
elem3
/group2
but I just get error No valid elements specified for display group.
Is there a way to achieve this effect with current Zend_Form? I know that I
can simulate this by using nested sub-forms, but sub-forms are handled
differently and working with them in this way is quite uncomfortable,
because for example you have to set decorators for their elements
individually.

Yes, my understanding is that controller and action names are
case-sensitive. In your example, you'll want to use the following names:
User::login()
That is, the class name should by User in the file User.php and the
function name for the action should be login.

Re: [fw-general] The same code can run on Windows but not Linux
Bill,
Oops, you are correct - my previous email was incorrect (must be too tired).
You should have:
UserController::loginAction()
and the UserController class should be in the UserController.php file.
Not sure why that doesn't work correctly for you. I don't have a copy of
Zend Framework in Action so can't see the example code you are looking at.
When you say, the code cannot find the requested controller and action is
it the url view helper that's not working or is it giving the right URL but
Zend Framework can't find the controller and action after submitting the
form?

Use Zend_Form as a factory for creating elements:
$username = $form-createElement('text', 'username');
// or, if you want it attached to the form immediately:
$form-addElement('text', 'username');
$username = $form-username;
This is actually the preferred way to create elements, as it allows you
to set plugin paths for your elements in your form object *once*, and
those will then be used for all elements created via your form object.
Finally, you might want to use autoloading if you don't want to use
Zend_Loader::loadClass() or require_once throughout your code. Add this
to the top of your bootstrap or script:
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();

The short answer is: if you want nesting, use the object that allows for
it: a sub form.
Sub forms are just like regular forms, except for the class name, the
default decorators, and one or two items of metadata. I have no idea
what you mean by you have to set decorators for their elements
individually; you can call setElementDecorators() just as easily on a
sub form as on a regular form.
Display groups are intended simply for grouping *elements* in a form --
not sub forms or other groups. The grouping is for cosmetic purposes
only -- hence the term 'display'. The elements in them actually belong
to the parent form, so having them namespaced differently is outside
their scope -- but well within the scope of sub forms (which are
intended for this kind of logical grouping).

Zend_Form is de-coupled from both the MVC and HTTP; the idea is that you
should be able to use it for a variety of purposes, some of which may
have nothing to do with either of those two.
If using the ZF MVC, check to see if the request is a POST:
if ($this-getRequest()-isPost()) {
if ($form-isValid($this-getRequest()-getPost())) {
$values = $form-getValues();
// usually you'll do something with the values and then
// redirect after this...
}
}
$this-view-form = $form;
If you're not using the ZF MVC, check to see what the request method
was:
$method = $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']
if ($method == 'POST') {
// validate now
}
It's an extra step, but it ensures that you're explicitly checking the
source of your form input.

[fw-general] Creating a Modular Dir Structure
I have 4 different user groups and each user group will get different functionality and looks. So I have decided to divide it up into modules with separate front controllers each. Can you please tell me if this modular directory structure would work well in Zend Framework: library/ ---Zend/ config/ public/ ---index.php application/ ---default/ -controllers/ -models/ -views/ ---scripts/ ---helpers/ ---filters/ client/ --controllers/ --models/ --views ---...just like above -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Creating-a-Modular-Dir-Structure-tp16578887p16578887.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: [fw-general] Creating a Modular Dir Structure
I would like to turn on controllers dynamically depending on the user logged in...so if the user type logged-in is client than it would load: $controller-setControllerDirectory(array( 'default' = '../application/client/controllers' )); this way I can have my modules in different directories and only use the controllers that are residing in the directory that suits the user type. photo312 wrote: I have 4 different user groups and each user group will get different functionality and looks.
