- Zend_Form and 2 step view demoJanuary 6 2008
-
Dear reader,
A lot of you are waiting to finally get their hands on Zend_Form. Since my previous demo was such a success, I have decided to wrap up another demo application. This demo will show the usage of Zend_Form, and how to integrate a 2 step view in the Zend Framework (note that it doesn’t use Zend_Layout).
Zend_Form is currently only available in laboratory, so don’t expect everything to work yet. Instead, test, review, and provide comments on the proposal by Matthew Weier O’Phinney.
I have found that by using Zend_Form, you can reduce a lot code. Checkout, and download the demo:

I have written a small demo app for those of you looking for a quick start with Zend Framework.
You can view, and download the demo at:

Update:
- Tested with Zend Framework 1.0.1
- Improved error controller now available
- Usage of $this->_request->isPost()

If you are looking for a quick way to get started with the Zend Framework, then you should download this file. This download has a default setup for the Zend Framework, including:
- A conventional directory structure
- A bootstrap file
- A configuration file with 2 stages: production, staging
- An error controller
- An index controller
- etc
The only thing you need to do (if you don’t have a shared version of the Zend Framework) is to download the framework, extract it, and put the library/Zend folder, into the same place in the downloadable file.
A quick and dirty test should tell you if it works: just open
http://localhost/<foldername>/document_root/You should see “hooray application is running.” if everything went fine.
Update:
I have also made a modular starter package available. You can download it here.

A few weeks ago, after some discussion with Darby Felton, Darby created a Jira issue, which stated that the recommended directory structure and use of svn:externals are incompatible. The recommended directory structure cannot be maintained by svn:externals because Zend.php is sibling to the Zend/ directory. The svn:externals property only works upon directories, not files. An alternative approach is to create a ZendFramework directory, which in turn contains the Zend library.
|library |-|ZendFramework |-|-|Zend |-|-|Zend.php |-|PEAR |-|SuperLibSuffers from the problem of requiring each of the children directories of /library to be in the include path, resulting in suboptimal performance when working with multiple libraries.
After Bill Karwin sent a notice to the list, asking for feedback, a long discussion started. This led to a lot of usefull feedback, and justifications for splitting / cleaning up Zend.php, including:
