[fw-general] Zend Loader performance

[Łukasz Bandzarewicz]

Hi all!

During simple profiling I noticed that Zend_Loader could consume 20-25% of
execution time.
It's quite obvious, because ZF has to load lots of files, but..
have you ever wondering about compile ZF code. Something similar to
phpDoctrine's compile method
(http://www.phpdoctrine.org/documentation/manual/0_11?one-page#improving-performance)?

The compile method makes single file of most used components. Additionally
it could remove comments and white spaces to reduce size of compiled file.
It could reduce slow disk operations (check if file exists, load file, etc.)
and increase performance.

What you think, is this feasible?

[fw-general] Zend_Form_Element_Select and null values

[Łukasz Bandzarewicz]

Hi!

How to handle null values in select elements?

For example I have table:
User {
  region_id: foreign key, can be null
  ..ect
}

I have select with prompt:
select name=region_id
 option value=-1Please select region/option
 option value=1Region1/option
 ..etc
/select

in UsersController::createAction():
$form = new User_Form(); // Zend_Form instance
// handle $_POST data etc.
$data = $form-getValues(true);
// and very ugly:
if ($data['region_id'] == -1) $data['region_id'] = null; // !!

$user = new User(); // this is phpDoctrine record
$user-merge($data);
$user-save();

How to get rid of this redundant code?
Problem is very painful when I have large tables with FK or when I create
records in several places in the code.
