[fw-general] Zend_Filter classes turn NULL values into empty strings

[Grotevant, Paul F]

I'm developing a Zend_Form class which will feed data into a MySQL table
through a Zend_Db table class.

There are a number of fields on this form that are optional, and which I
want to default to NULL in the database if they are not filled in. However,
I was finding that the empty values from the form were being inserted into
the db table as empty strings, rather than NULLs (this was true even if
those fields were disabled, meaning that there were no values for them in
the POST data -- $form->getValues() returns zero-length strings rather than
NULLs).

After some head-scratching, I realized that it was the StringTrim and
HtmlEntities filters that were turning those fields into zero-length
strings, which by turn get inserted into the db table as zero-length strings
instead of NULL.

I can take the filters off of those form elements and get the desired result
in my database, but that leaves me with a form that's potentially vulnerable
to cross-site scripting attacks.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Paul

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Db_Table_Rowset seek() question

[Cameron]

I built something like this as a paginator for when you're on your item
view. What I did was build a simple class that implements the SPL Iterator
and Countable classes, just like the internal Zend_Paginator, but just uses
an array as its internal guts. Then I simply grabbed all the id fields from
my table and passed it as an array through to my paginator class'
constructor, and then called the setCurrentItem method to correctly position
the pointer in array. I have no idea if something like this helps you at
all, but it seemed a pretty clean way of solving my particular problem,
which was getting a "next" and "previous" button on my record display.
Here's the class anyway, if it helps.

class ItemPaginator implements Countable, Iterator
{
protected $collection;
protected $count;
protected $pointer_position;

public function __construct( $collection ) {
  $this->collection = $collection;
  $this->count = sizeof($this->collection);
}

public function count() {
return $this->count;
}

public function key() {
  return $this->pointer_position;
}

public function current() {
  return $this->collection[$this->pointer_position];
}

public function next() {
  $this->pointer_position++;
}

public function rewind() {
  $this->pointer_position = 0;
}

public function valid() {
  return strlen( $this->collection ) > $this->pointer_position;
}

public function getNextItem() {
if ($this->pointer_position < $this->count) {
return $this->collection[$this->pointer_position + 1];
}
return false;
}

public function getPrevItem() {
if ($this->pointer_position > 0 ) {
return $this->collection[$this->pointer_position - 1];
}
return false;
}

public function getFirstItem() {
if ($this->pointer_position > 0 ) {
return $this->collection[0];
}
return false;
}

public function getLastItem() {
if ($this->pointer_position < $this->count ) {
return $this->collection[$this->count - 1]; // -1 for the array
offset
}
return false;
}

public function setCurrentItem($item) {
$key = array_search($item, $this->collection);
if (FALSE !== $key) {
$this->pointer_position = $key;
return true;
}
return false;
}
}


Sorry if this is really terrible code that I should be implementing
completely differently, the SPL is all a bit new to me :)

[fw-general] Zend Form populate method doesn't support FilteringSelect / ComboBoxes using a Dojo datastore.

[Cameron]

Hi guys,

I've got some form elements built using Dojo data stores, basically like
this:

$this->addElement('FilteringSelect', 'client_id', array(
'label'=> 'Client:',
'store'  => 'clientStore',
'autoComplete'   => 'false',
'hasDownArrow'   => 'true',
'id' => 'client_id',
));

with



on the form page. But when I call $form->populate in the edit controller, it
is populating the value correctly (as confirmed by
print_r($this->form->getValues()) in the edit view), but the select isn't
displaying anything.

I'm assuming this is happening because the options aren't being generated
until after the first attempt to type something in to the select or click on
the down arrow, so I've tried adding an extra default option to fill out the
drop down while it's waiting for someone to click on something by going:

$form->getElement('client_id')->addMultiOption($id, $value);

in the controller, but it's no go. Doesn't work. The only other idea I've
got is somehow triggering the form to fill the dropdown list with JS when it
first loads, but I haven't found any documentation on such features, so I'm
basically shooting in the dark with it. So has anyone else solved this
issue? Or am I doing something wrong / missing the obvious?

Umm... wow... that code is.. wow.

First, when you have a Zend_Db_Table object, you already *have* the
database adapter -- there's no need to grab it from the registry. Next,
Zend_Db_Table also has its own select object now (since 1.5) that
obviates the need to (a) pull it from the database adapter, and (b)
specify the table name (it's automatically populated). Next, fetchAll()
on the adapter already returns an array by default -- it has from the
very beginning. You actually have to override this behavior to get a
different return type by passing the fetchmode as the second parameter to
the call. The reason you're getting anything different is because your
code is calling:

$db->setFetchMode(Zend_Db::FETCH_OBJ);

which tells the adapter to return fetch results as objects. You're
basically shooting yourself in the foot here.

So, the following will do what you're trying to accomplish:

public function fetchActive()
{
$select = $this->select()
   ->where('active = 1')
   ->order('creation_date DESC');
return $this->getAdapter()->fetchAll($select);
}

You have some interesting points about tuning the server and using CDNs
that many people overlook when they consider optimizing their *site*,
not just the applications.

I also want to announce that I've been working on a performance guide
appendix to the manual, and those of you following the subversion
commits have likely noticed these commits. I have a lot of detail on
ways you can reduce things like class loading overhead, how to optimize
your views, etc. More tips will be added in the coming week as we

Looks wrong. You are duplicating your effort.

First off, in your bootstrap you can define a Zend_Db object and do
"setFetchMode()" on it. Then you chain it to your
Zend_Db_Table_Abstract extending classes with
Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::setDefaultAdapter(). I think by default
Zend_Db_Table_Abstract will also use a 'db' object saved in your
registry. So there might not be a need to use setDefaultAdapter().

Inside a model (model_Foo extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract {}), use:

$db = $this->getAdapter();

That is, if you really need a DB object and $this->select(),
$this->fetchAll(), $this->update(), $this->delete(), $this->insert(),
etc. are not enough.

Also, the framework is growing fast. Don't use tutorials from a year
ago when you start now. Use the manual instead:

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.db.table.html

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Db

[DorkFest]

Hi,

This was posted in Dec 2007. I have the same question. Is there anyway using
fetchAll and setFetchMode to set the explicit class name that's returned in
the array?

Or is this a design conflict? Here's basically the situation:

class Articles extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract 
{
protected $_name = "articles";
protected $_rowClass = "Article";

public function fetchActive()
{
$db = Zend_Registry::get('db');
$db->setFetchMode(Zend_Db::FETCH_OBJ);
$select = $db->select()
->from($this->_name)
->where('active = 1')
->order('creation_date DESC');
// want to return array of articles objects here instead of 
stdClass
return $db->fetchAll($select);
}
}

class Article extends Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract
{
}

Is this the wrong way to approach models? Or is there a better way to obtain
the fetchAll array of Articles as a return value from the fetchActive()
method.

Thanks very much!

Yes, but I guess there's some setting, which allows to toggle these view

I'm not sure why you guys are asserting that JIRA has regular problems
that would affect the web service API somehow. There was a recent
problem with a few users not getting recognized in JIRA that I solved a
few days ago. The only times that it has been down in the last few
months is are the few times I've taken it down for a 5 minutes or so to
test a fix for the problem above. At worst, you'd just have to wait a
few minutes to try your commit in this case.
Long gone are the days that JIRA was down for hours at a time, and they

JIRA that might make such a commit hook fail on a good commit.

That would require a JIRA lookup, which means Jira would have to be
running
100% of the time and without load.  Not sure that requirement can be met
at
this time but we are getting there.
  
You could implement a separate lookup table that gets updated every time
a ticket status changes using the same interface the IRC bot uses. This
would decouple the SVN hook from JIRA which is important as JIRA seems
to have regular problems. I think the lookup table will stay mostly in

RE: [fw-general] Layout assign function... (temp fix)

[Terre Porter]

After digging around in all the classes that referred and such I found no
use of the stored variables (_container) from the layout.php file..

So, I modified the render function in layout.php for a quick and dirty
test..

...
$view = $this->getView();

// quick and dirty assign stored vars to view
foreach ($this->_container as $k => $v) {
$view->$k = $v;
  } 
...

This passes the variables stored in the _container, from assign and _set
function, in to the layout's view ... 

The variables did get assigned to the layout view and the page returned no
errors.

I'll leave this patch my code so that I can continue programming on my
project ...

Any thoughts on this problem ?

Subject: [fw-general] Layout assign function...

Hello,
 
I've got myself a bit confused, maybe someone can clarify this for me.

Some background:

I've got variables in my actions that I would like to pass to my layout. 

Currently I'm doing this ...

In my actionController, ---> $this->view->noContentBorder = true;

In the view template for that action, --->
$this->placeholder('noContentBorder')->set($this->noContentBorder);

And then in the layout it's something like, --> if
(isset($this->noContentBorder) && $this->noContentBorder == true) {...

Ok, so I'm wanting to remove the place holder because there are a few views
that have only placeholders for forwarding them to the layout template.

I tried this in the actionController, -->
Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->assign('noContentBorder',true);

However, it doesn't seem to work ...

I looked at the assign function in the layout, simply put it assigned the
variable to an array...
-- $this->_container[$spec] = $value;

In the render function, the comments say - * assigns layout variables to
view,...

But, I do not see where the variables from the $this->_container are
assigned to the layout view that is rendered ... 

What am I missing ...

That's true, but when people talk about wanting Active Record support,
they're generally talking about wanting a Rails-like implementation.  That

[fw-general] Any "best practice" on how to initialize a database?

[Hakan Şenol Ensari]

I'm writing a small application whose underlying layout is by and large
based on Matthew's pastebin. So, the front controller has an initializer
class plugged in, which initializes the database connection, among other
things.

Now, I want the method -- or a similar method, if I'm mixing apples and
oranges here -- to initialize the tables on the database first if it's the
first time it's running. (I'm working with Sqlite so all else is handled by
the server itself.)

The following little hack of the original initDb method does the job.
Basically, I threw in a cache check to see if the tables already exist and,
in case they don't, we go ahead and create them, in tedious procedural
style.

public function initDb()
>
{
>
$config = $this->_config->db;
>
$db = Zend_Db::factory($config->cxn);

> Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::setDefaultAdapter($db);

I'm wondering if there's a more beautiful way to accomplish this, perhaps by
moving table definitions to a config. Would love to hear your comments.

[fw-general] Implementing Simple Authentication - Is This Secure?

[Phoenix]

Hi list, first time poster here so please be gentle ;-)

I'm getting up and running with Zend Framework for the first time and 
have googled and read documentation profusely, and have a working 
authentication setup, but I wanted to post it to this list and ask one 
question: is this secure?


There's one hole I'm aware of that I'll explain below, but I want to be 
sure that my implementation - specifically, my use of init() to ensure 
the user is authenticated for all actions in the controller - is 
considered within "best practices".  If not, I need to know what I 
should be doing instead.


The way this works is that there is ONE and only one user in the users 
table in the database.  It's got a username, password, and of course ID 
- that's it.  The password is stored as an MD5 checksum in the password 
field.


When the "admin" controller is accessed, I want the very first thing 
that happens to be a check to see if the user that's logged in is 
authenticated.  If not, it should redirect to the login form and 
terminate immediately.  I believe the use of init() takes care of this, 
but let me know if I'm missing something here.  Should I be using 
__construct instead, for example?


The only hole I can see with this implementation is if somebody gained 
access to my database, for any reason, and inserted another row into the 
admin table, they could login and have the same control over this that I 
do.  I'll implement other controls to restrict that of course, but I 
want to be sure the direction I'm taking here is solid before I get too 
deep.


Enough BS, here's the code - please let me know what you think.

- Phoenix

AdminController.php:
-
  
   public function init()

   {
   $this->view->title = "Admin Controller";
   $this->_helper->layout->setLayout('admin');
  
   // Authentication

   $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
   if(!$auth->hasIdentity()) {
   // User is not authenticated, so return a redirect.
   return $this->_helper->redirector("index", "login");
   }
  
   }


// All my other actions down here, none of which can be accessed without 
going through init(), right?





LoginController.php
-
  
   public function indexAction()

   {
   $this->view->form = $this->getForm();
   }
  
   public function getForm()

   {
   require_once(FORMS_PATH.'/loginform.php');
   return new LoginForm(array('action' => '/login/process', 
'method' => 'post'));

   }

   public function preDispatch()
   {
   if(Zend_Auth::getInstance()->hasIdentity()) {
   if('logout' != $this->getRequest()->getActionName()) {
   $this->_helper->redirector('index', 'admin');
   }
   }
  
   else {

   if('logout' == $this->getRequest()->getActionName()) {
   $this->_helper->redirector('index');
   }
   }
  
   }
  
  
  
   public function processAction()

   {
   $request = $this->getRequest();
  
   // If this ISN'T a post request, redirect and die

   if(!$request->isPost()) {
   return $this->_helper->redirector('index');
   }
  
  
   // Retrieve and validate form

   $form = $this->getForm();
   if(!$form->isValid($request->getPost())) {
   // Invalid form entries
   $this->view->form = $form;
   return $this->render('index'); // re-render the login form
   }
  
   // Set up $username and $password

   $username = $form->getValue('username');
   $password = $form->getValue('password');
  
   // Get authentication adapter and check credentials.

   require_once(MODELS_PATH.'/auth.php');
   $adapter = new AuthAdapter($username, $password);
   $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
   $result = $auth->authenticate($adapter);
  
   // Test to see if they're authenticated or not

   if(!$result->isValid()) {
   // NOT authenticated
   $form->setDescription("Your login failed.");
   $this->view->form = $form;
   return $this->render('index');
   }
  
   // If we made it past all the if/return combinations, we're 
authenticated

   $this->_helper->redirector('index', 'admin');
  
  
   }
  
   public function logoutAction()

   {
   Zend_Auth::getInstance()->clearIdentity();
   $this->_helper->redirector('index', 'index');
   }
  
  
}




And finally, my authentication class:  auth.php
-
username = $username;
   $this->password = $password;
   }
  
  
   /*

* Performs an authentication attempt
*
* @throws Zend_Auth_Adapter_Exception If authentication cannot be 
performed

*
* @return Zend_Auth_Result
*/
   public function authenticate()
   {
   // set up authentication adapter
   $adapter = new Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable($this->g

[fw-general] Layout assign function...

[Terre Porter]

Hello,
 
I've got myself a bit confused, maybe someone can clarify this for me.

Some background:

I've got variables in my actions that I would like to pass to my layout. 

Currently I'm doing this ...

In my actionController, ---> $this->view->noContentBorder = true;

In the view template for that action, --->
$this->placeholder('noContentBorder')->set($this->noContentBorder);

And then in the layout it's something like, --> if
(isset($this->noContentBorder) && $this->noContentBorder == true) {...

Ok, so I'm wanting to remove the place holder because there are a few views
that have only placeholders for forwarding them to the layout template.

I tried this in the actionController, -->
Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->assign('noContentBorder',true);

However, it doesn't seem to work ...

I looked at the assign function in the layout, simply put it assigned the
variable to an array...
-- $this->_container[$spec] = $value;

In the render function, the comments say - * assigns layout variables to
view,...

But, I do not see where the variables from the $this->_container are
assigned to the layout view that is rendered ... 

What am I missing ...

Terre

[fw-general] ZendX_Doctrine_Auth_Adapter - seeking comments

[jasoneisen]

Compare the following:

http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/trunk/library/Zend/Auth/Adapter/DbTable.php

vs

http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/extras/incubator/library/ZendX/Doctrine/Auth/Adapter.php

At least 90% of the code is repeated. I propose we abstract out the public  
methods (minus authenticate()) in DbTable to a  
Zend_Auth_Adapter_Db_Abstract or something so that Doctrine (or any other  
DBAL) can extend from it.

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Cache Get Tags

[Fabien MARTY]

Hi,

SiCo007 a écrit :

Hi, how do I 'easily' get the tags for a cache file now? It used to be a case
of each tag was it's own file, now I see they are stored in an array inside
a meta file.

Do I simply open each file or are there Zend_Cache methods to this for me? -
I didn't see them in the code so thought I'd check before re-inventing the
wheel!

Thanks

http://www.ajb007.co.uk/
  



Starting with ZF 1.7 Preview Release, you can use the getTags() method 
on your cache object.


It works with backends which support the "extended interface" :
'File', 'Apc', 'TwoLevels', 'Memcached', 'Sqlite' (for the moment)

For your information, here is the extended interface :

   /**
* Return an array of stored cache ids
*
* @return array array of stored cache ids (string)
*/
   public function getIds();
  
   /**

* Return an array of stored tags
*
* @return array array of stored tags (string)
*/
   public function getTags();
  
   /**

* Return an array of stored cache ids which match given tags
*
* In case of multiple tags, a logical AND is made between tags
*
* @param array $tags array of tags
* @return array array of matching cache ids (string)
*/
   public function getIdsMatchingTags($tags = array());

   /**
* Return an array of stored cache ids which don't match given tags
*
* In case of multiple tags, a logical OR is made between tags
*
* @param array $tags array of tags
* @return array array of not matching cache ids (string)
*/   
   public function getIdsNotMatchingTags($tags = array());
  
   /**

* Return the filling percentage of the backend storage
*
* @return int integer between 0 and 100
*/
   public function getFillingPercentage();

   /**
* Return an array of metadatas for the given cache id
*
* The array must include these keys :
* - expire : the expire timestamp
* - tags : a string array of tags
* - mtime : timestamp of last modification time
*
* @param string $id cache id
* @return array array of metadatas (false if the cache id is not found)
*/
   public function getMetadatas($id);
  
   /**

* Give (if possible) an extra lifetime to the given cache id
*
* @param string $id cache id
* @param int $extraLifetime
* @return boolean true if ok
*/
   public function touch($id, $extraLifetime);
  
   /**

* Return an associative array of capabilities (booleans) of the backend
*
* The array must include these keys :
* - automatic_cleaning (is automating cleaning necessary)
* - tags (are tags supported)
* - expired_read (is it possible to read expired cache records
* (for doNotTestCacheValidity option for example))
* - priority does the backend deal with priority when saving
* - infinite_lifetime (is infinite lifetime can work with this backend)
* - get_list (is it possible to get the list of cache ids and the 
complete list of tags)

*
* @return array associative of with capabilities
*/
   public function getCapabilities();

[fw-general] Zend_Db_Table_Rowset seek() question

[Jason Austin]

I have a need to paginate some simple results, which I need the count of 
the entire rowset, and then rows from a particular offset.  I don't 
really want to execute 2 queries, so I was thinking of using the seek() 
method of my result set to put the pointer to the required offset, 
however when I loop through the results it starts over at the beginning 
of the result set:


fetchAll($where, $order);

$rows->seek($page * $resultsPerPage);

echo $rows->current()->id  // echoes correct "seek()" offset ID

foreach ($rows as $r) {  // starts over at the beginning of the rowset
   // add to result set
}

?>

Is this the expected behavior or am I missing something totally 
obvious?  This is with version 1.6.1.  Should I just do 2 queries (a 
query to get the required rows, then a count query without qualifier)?


Thanks!
Jason

Right. I was just stating the officially stated reason for why
ActiveRecord wasn't included originally. :)

An interesting thing to note is that a Row Data Gateway acts very
similarly to the ActiveRecord; the primary difference is that an
ActiveRecord object contains the data access logic, while the Row Data
Gateway leaves that aspect to its parent Table Data Gateway, proxying to
it. When it comes down to it, for most cases you'll use them in almost
exactly the same way -- which I think is what you were getting at in
that last sentence.

For the record, for those of you newcomers... PMJ's Solar project is
top-notch. Additionally, PMJ worked at Zend for a short while, and
contributed the original Zend_View and Zend_Db_Table implementations to
ZF. Just thought I should give credit where credit is due. :)

Yes. The reason was that PHP currently does not support a pure

"Pure" is in the eye of the beholder.  ;-)

The Rails Active Record implementation uses static finder methods, and  
Cake tries to emulate that using instance methods.  Fowler [1] notes  
that static finder methods "typical", but he goes on to say:


"However, there's no reason that you can't separate out
 the find methods into a separate class, as I discussed

So it seems perfectly acceptable, from an implementation and "purity"  
point of view, to have a Table Data Gateway (the finder) return Active  
Records.


Regardless of the *name* of the row class, if it can contain business  
logic that operates on the row, it can fairly be called an active  
record implementation.


(FYI, Solar  works in a similar manner, with a  
table/model class to represent the table, and a record class to  
represent the resulting record (and its related records, if any).  I  
might argue that the Solar implementation is more sophisticated, but

Yes. The reason was that PHP currently does not support a pure
ActiveRecord implementation due to lack of late static binding (LSB --
which will be available in PHP 5.3.0).

What that essentially meant was that we could not do the following:

$bug = Bug::find(3);

simply by declaring the following:

class Bug extends Zend_ActiveRecord
{
}

due to the fact that 'self' always refers to the defining class, not the
class from which it was called.

ZF implements the Table Data Gateway and Row Data Gateway via
Zend_Db_Table and Zend_Db_Table_Row. These are incredibly flexible, and
do not require the use of static methods -- which allows them to bypass
LSB and simply work. RDGs are very similar to ActiveRecord in use.

It's possible that another class or some other code in your app is
referring to Zend_Config prior to you loading Zend_Config_Xml.

I'm pretty sure that Cake tries to emulate the ActiveRecord pattern, and
Zend does not. I did a quick search, and it seems like some ActiveRecord-ish
stuff was proposed for Zend back in 2006, but never took any ground?

RE: [fw-general] Why will Zend_Config be autoloaded?

[Jan Pieper]

There is no problem, but I am confused why it will be autoloaded altought it is 
already loaded. I thought autoload will *only* load classes that are not loaded 
until they are required.

Is there a problem with it being autoloaded? I'm a bit confused as to
what the issue is here...

Ah, right. But Zend_Db_Table itself does not have it. (I typically don't
use the row objects -- probably should).

Right -- and Zend_Db_Table::insert() and update() also throw exceptions
if you attempt to save a key that does not resolve to a field. I
personally feel we should have a flag allowing these methods to ignore
unknown keys -- it would make saving data to multiple tables much
easier.

There's also an article I wrote on action helpers for a more in-depth
look:

http://devzone.zend.com/article/3350-Action-Helpers-in-Zend-Framework

The DevZone has a lot of ZF tutorials. Rob himself has also written a
ton on his website, as well as the website for his upcoming book, Zend
Framework in Action.

Re: Re: [fw-general] Tags for the memcached and APC backends for Zend_Cache - new approach

[agatone]

Hello,

I'm sorry for replying to older post but I need to clear some things.

I don't understand how this TwoLevels cache should work and I see some odd
results quick tests.
Is that it will use fast cache for untagged entries, and slow for tagged
entries? Cuz sometimes I see both entries in APC and in SQLite
Sometimes I see it only in SQLite.

My quick testing using TwoLevels, showed that application became much slower
than without the cache.
I used APC-SQLite.

And sometimes it throws fatal erros when it tries to access cached data as
array although it's object.
Check file TwoLevels.php on line 206 (or so)

Yes, but I guess there's some setting, which allows to toggle these view 
modes, as this folder view consumes to much spaces while providing 
irrelevant information and the view is now lacking overview ... just my 
two cents ...

[fw-general] Not possible: Zend_Mail with embed images and attachment

[fischel]

I spent much time on sending an email with embed images and some attachments
like pdf-files. I think with version 1.6.2 it is not possible. If i'm wrong,
please let me know.

It is possible to send an email with html-code with embed images. First you
create an image with Zend_Mime_Part. Then you give your object an id
($PartGif->id = "123456789";). In your html-code you set the SRC of the
image to "cid:123456789". This works for every mail-client.

But if you try to add a PDF-Attachment too. It is not possible. Your E-Mail
Client gets only trash. If you confirm with me or not, please post your
opinion.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to mixed several MIME-PART with
different boundarys. But this is not possible with ZEND. The message has to
look like this:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=_1"

When starting eclipse, it says "Europa" and not "Ganymede" ... are you
sure that it is Eclipse 3.4?

[fw-general] Why will Zend_Config be autoloaded?

[Jan Pieper]

Hi guys,

registered autoloader (Zend_Loader::registerAutoload) in my application to not 
even add require_once statement for temporary needed classes for debugging etc. 
and I added HTML output to autoload() method to know if classes will be 
autoloaded. Now it seems that Zend_Config will be autoloaded but I don´t know 
why.

[fw-general] Zend PDT 2.0 all-in-one available (BETA)

[Robert Castley]

A bit off-list but those Zend guys have packaged an all-in-one build of the
latest PDT 2.0 and Eclipse 3.4.
 
http://downloads.zend.com/pdt/all-in-one/
 
 
Had a quick play and the hot-spots for me are:
 
1) Javascript editor and source formatter included :-)
2) It's quicker
3) Seems stable so far
 
This is great that they have released this as it means you no longer need to
build it yourself :-)

[fw-general] Zend_Cache Get Tags

[SiCo007]

Hi, how do I 'easily' get the tags for a cache file now? It used to be a case
of each tag was it's own file, now I see they are stored in an array inside
a meta file.

Do I simply open each file or are there Zend_Cache methods to this for me? -
I didn't see them in the code so thought I'd check before re-inventing the
wheel!

Thanks

Re: [fw-general] ZF Best Practices for someone who has been using Cake

[Laurent Melmoux]

Hi ben,


WildFoxMedia a écrit :

Hey guys, im new to Zend, ive been a long time user of Cake, I have a few
questions related to conventions, etc.

1. Can someone possibly post a bootstrap/index file for a modular file
convention where there are seperate controllers/views for public and admin
modules that share models?
  

So far I have tried 2 solutions

1)2 bootstraps index who share the same bootstrap class  and rely on 
Acl to isolate admin controller


  /public/index.php and /public/admin/index.php


2)A backend directory to isolate admin controller and view

/modules
   /articles
   
   /controllers

   /ArticleController.php
   /models
   /views

   /backend 
   /controllers

   /IndexController.php
   /views

then detect in your bootstrap if you are in admin mode and if so do:
$this->_front->setModuleControllerDirectoryName('backend/controllers');
  




2. Is there a 'magic' save() method for saving to the database? I see
currently there is Insert & Update, I dont mind using insert & update, was
just curious.

3. Is there any kind of table inflection when you insert or update? What I
mean is if you have a table with 2 columns, id & name the array I try to
insert has 3 array keys for id, name & created it throws an error - Cake
does table inflection where it only attempts to save columns that exist in
the table.
  


see http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-2243


4. Is there any decent way to autoload models instead of doing
$this->someModel = new someModel; in the init() of every controller?

5. Whats the correct method for gathering the filtered data from a
controller, I saw in a tutorial where you basically check if the request is
a post, then you assign the POST array to a variable, then you loop through
each array key and do getValue() from the Form object...like this...

$formModel = new FormModel;

$dbRow = array();

foreach($postArray as $pKey => $pValue) {
$dbRow[$pKey] = $formModel->getValue($pKey);
}

Is that the best way?

Thank you
