Modular Zend Framework Skeleton 2009
Posted on April 8th, 2009 9 commentsSo the application skeleton series proved to be more popular than I was expecting. Unfortunately after a couple of server migrations, the source code examples that were linked to those articles did not survive the trip.

Posted on March 23rd, 2009 4 commentsI recently had to implement multi lingual support in a Zend Framework application to accomodate 4 languages in a social networking site: English, Spanish, Porteguese, and French Canadian. The site was fairly large comprising of a large number of heavily dynamic templates with a lot of user generated content. At first it seemed daunting and [...]

Back from the dead
Posted on March 20th, 2009 No commentsSo late last year I started my other blog over at http://www.unintelligent-design.com, and i’ve been pretty involved in that for some time. As a result, this blog got terribly neglected as I dealt with some poignant albeit non-technical topics such as the presidential elections, some critical pieces on religion and financial crises and whatnot. I [...]

Zend_View, PHPTAL, and Zend_Layout
Posted on April 14th, 2008 15 commentsI’ve started experimenting with the latest release of the Zend Framework (Version 1.5.1) and very quickly discovered the PHPTAL template engine i’ve been using doesn’t expose some of the useful features of the Zend_View module needed to take advantage of the latest developments. Specifically helpers were not accessible which I was aware of but couldn’t [...]

Modular Zend Framework Application Skeleton (Part 1: Folder Structure)
Posted on March 19th, 2008 13 commentsI used to hate php. I thought it was arcane, poorly designed, and anyone who coded in it was asking for trouble. I figured I was going to have to suck it up when I got picked up by eROI as a php developer.

I got spoiled by its more functional aspects so when I had to go back to php I was disgusted. That all changed when I discovered the Zend Framework.
