In Zend Framework’s mailing list discussion about Zend_Config class is in full swing. I have my own ideas about this class and I will try to explain their here. I need something that can load and save configuration into different storages (for example, XML, database or plain text like INI-files), it’s necessary to have ability to change every parameter of storage (for example, file name, database tables or even database structure), it will be able if I can extend storage system with my own storage strategies.

Zend Framework’s View class has very bad capability for extending. It contains template variables but does not allow to access them, it has array with different pathes (templates, filters), but does not allow to add another type or access them. Therefor only way to use Smarty with Zend Framework is to abandon Zend_View and manipulate Smarty object directly.

I started discovering of Zend Framework and was confronted with a problem. When I’ve placed my test sample into site’s subdirectory (http://localhost/test/), default router tried to find TestController which is not exists of course and routed me to IndexController/noRoute. It’s not good for me. I decided to create my own router.

By default Zend Studio does not allow to change interface language to Russian. I found simple trick to do so. Go to the config folder (config_5.0 for Zend Studio 5.0 and config_5.1 for 5.1 version). This folder usually placed under c:Documents and Settings<Your Current User>ZDE.
Then open desktop_options.xml file and find following strings:
1
2
3
| <customized_property ID="desktop.language">
<locale language="en" country="" variant=""/>
</customized_property> |
You need just to change language attribute to ru and country attribute to RU. That’s All!
Finally in the end Zend has released first version of the Zend Framework project.
Zend Framework is a high quality and open source framework for developing Web Applications and Web Services.
Built in the true PHP spirit, the Zend Framework delivers ease-of-use and powerful functionality. It provides solutions for building modern, robust, and secure websites.
First I have observed is it really has powerful functionality. Framework includes classes for working with databases, RSS-feeds, remote HTTP-servers, Web-forms data, JSON, mail, different Web-services (include classes for Amazon, Flickr, and Yahoo), MVC implementation, and also facilities for generating PDF-documents and logging.
This is very serious framework, but I doubt efficiency of it. I don’t want to get just another PEAR library. I will look it more precisely in the near future.
You can download it here.
