With our Mach-II apps, I had a series of RegEx Search/Replaces in Dreamweaver that let me quickly turn a list of variables into the various basic components of a bean, gateway, function arguments, etc. For example, this one does all the properties in a bean. So if I had a variable […]
As I mentioned previously, I've been learning WordPress stuff over the last few weeks for a client. Recently we discovered her RSS feed wasn't working in some checkers, so I checked it and found that the resulting XML had indention before the first few lines. Now, personally I think its […]
Wow, it's been nearly two months since my last post! Whoops! I'm still around, it's been a strange mix of quiet and hectic lately. Quiet in that we wrapped up our first PHP Zend project and got it out the door. Thus far it's worked pretty well other than the occasional completely […]
Before I continued on some more, I realized I needed to "fix" my MovieShelves module to make it's routes more uniquely named, otherwise it will conflict with other modules. 😛 I also updated my app to bring the DataTables code to 1.10 standards and to do a few visual tweaks. […]

Now it's time to build an authentication system for our application, so that we have public stuff for browsing while all the add/edit/delete functions are secured. There are of course a variety of ways to authenticate users and Zend has adapters for several popular ones including DB, the somewhat antiquated […]
Before I started with the expansion of the Zend app I did in the last series, I went through all the models and redid them in the manner I did the Movies one. I decided I liked it better for a few reasons: Cleaner file structure – having a bunch of folders […]
Taking a little break from my learning application to really just jump in with both feet into our current first Zend application. As we're getting near the deadline for completion, I was tasked with creating the SOAP stuff that another app will be accessing to pull data from our application. Before anyone […]
Whoa boy do we have a lot to cover this round! I got my input filters in place, created my first hydrator strategy, built my first custom validator, and dealt with uploading and manipulating images! In short, I finished off the basics of the add/edit movie model! Yay!! Also, as […]
