Re: [fw-general] Autoloader doesn't work properly
It's not due to the fact that you have used 2 underscore characters
instead of just the 1 which is usual for protected methods is it? I
know that Zend_Application looks for functions named initSomething but
I don't know the expression it uses to identify them.

[fw-general] Unit Testing Zend_Application SOAP server
I'm trying to use PHPUnit to test my Zend_Framework based SOAP server. It's a simple application which has no controllers or views (too much overhead), but it does use the Zend_Application and bootstrap model, so I've been trying to use Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase as it is Zend_Application aware. My application bootstrap looks like this: http://pastebin.com/m6971312e My application index.php looks like this: http://pastebin.com/m3feae19a then on the PHPUnit side of things I have a smaller Bootstrap: http://pastebin.com/m7b61b419 and my test class http://pastebin.com/m40d5528c Now my SOAP server works fine as a Zend_Application and I can view the wsdl being generated and can test from a cli soap client but the Unit Testing environment isn't getting set up correctly and when I run my unit tests I'm getting SOAP errors, which are probably related to a data backend problem which is due to the environment not being set up the same way as the app Bootstrap. But it should be as far as I can tell. All the code is the same between the unit test bootstrap and the app bootstrap. Any ideas? tests looks like this at present macdanosx:~/Sites/webservicewombat/tests dof$ phpunit SoapServerTest PHPUnit 3.4.3 by Sebastian Bergmann.

[fw-general] Best Practice for Dev/Build environment with ZF and PHP tools
I'm wondering if I am utilising the tools available to me to the best of their ability. I currently develop locally on my Mac where I run a Zend Server implementation running out of /usr/local This is where I edit code live. My svn working directory. It is also a DocumentRoot for a vhost on apache so I can see the changes live without having to commit/build them. I also use Zend_Config in my projects and use phing to build these config files dependant on where the code is being deployed. (multiple properties files). However, the local instance I develop with also needs config files to operate, but these are not built by phing. I just feel as though I'm not quite doing things in the best way. Can anyone offer any improvements to my setup? How do you work? I'm curious :) -- Dan FieldFfôn/Tel. +44 1970 632 582 Peiriannydd Meddalwedd Senior Software Engineer Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru National Library of Wales

Thanks Kevin. I want to avoid creating a file during this process. I
have an Image class which returns me a string representation of the
JPEG, and would have preferred the option of handing a string to
Zend_Pdf_Image rather than a filename. I guess I'm out of luck until
the FileParser class gets finished.

[fw-general] Zend_Pdf_FileParser_Image_Jpeg ... missing?
Zend_Pdf_FileParser_Image_Jpeg does not sem to be part of my 1.0.2
distribution. I wanted to create a PDF of images but use a string
rather than a filename to add the images. I decided to copy a little
code from Zend/Pdf/Image.php but I ran out of luck when I only found
that the PNG parser has been written.
This is what I wanted to do:
class PDFDocument {
protected $pdf;
public function __construct() {
$this->pdf = new Zend_Pdf();
}
public function generatePDF($images) {
$this->pdf->pages = array_reverse($this->pdf->pages);
foreach ($images as $imageName) {
$this->pdf->page = $this->pdf->newpage
(Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);
$image = new Image($imageName);
$imgStream = $image->resizeWithRatio(0.4,0.4);
$dataSource = new Zend_Pdf_FileParserDataSource_String
($imgStream);
$imageParser = new Zend_Pdf_FileParser_Image_Jpeg
($dataSource);
$pdfJPEG = new Zend_Pdf_Resource_Image_Jpeg($imageParser);
$this->pdf->page->drawImage($pdfJPEG, 10, 10, 10, 10);
$this->pdf->pages[] = $this->pdf->page;
}
$this->pdf->render();
}
}
Am I out of luck for generating PDFs from JPEGs at this moment in time?

That's exactly what happened because you named both of the routes
the same - 'pages'. This name is used internally as an array key
for the routes collection.
Ah! So every route needs a unique identifier here?

[fw-general] Route problem
I've been playing with 2 new test scripts today and I have the
following routers set in the bootstrap:
// Test Highlighting Router
$testhighlightingRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'/test/highlight/:id/:ratio/:xmldoc/:term',
array(
'module'=> 'default',
'controller'=> 'test',
'action'=> 'highlight'
)
);
$router->addRoute('pages', $testhighlightingRoute);
// Test Display Image Router
$testdisplayimageRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'/test/displayimage/:id/:ratio',
array(
'module'=> 'default',
'controller'=> 'test',
'action'=> 'displayimage'
)
);
$router->addRoute('pages', $testdisplayimageRoute);
This morning I added the first router and when I was happy with the
Action and Controller, I added the second router and set to work on
that Action and Controller. However now I've gone back to the first
controller and it no longer works. None of the variables I'm allowing
in the router (id, ratio,xmldoc,term) are getting set.
It's as if the second route is overwriting the first one some how.
Any ideas? I'm stumped.
