Summary: We were talking about routing on the #zftalk IRC channel. One of the users mentioned that rather than using routes, he was using the __call method in the IndexController.
I then asked him why is he doing that, as I knew routes would be more than a good choice for most kinds of URLs.
I found out that he was working with SEO and he was using a very interesting URL scheme: domain.com/productname-numbers-categoryname.html
Link: developertutorials.com | Dependency Injection and Zend_Di
Summary: A while ago I wrote this neat little subclass of Zend_Loader to add a midgen of Dependency Injection to the Zend Framework application I was then building. After emailing the lists to propose it be fully adopted into Zend_Loader some time ago, I realised someone had proposed a novel new component called Zend_Di, and that small change was since accepted by Federico into his DI buster. This is a quick overview with very simple use cases - read the full proposal for even more gory details about your object innards using DI...

Summary: Many developers like the model of being able to programmatically create all elements on a page. An equal number like to code the HTML separately. If you are one of the ones that like to create things in code, you are going to love Zend_Form. Zend_Form gives you all the tools necessary to create forms and form elements via PHP code. Like everything in Zend Framework, almost everything is configurable; however the defaults are probably good for most uses. Zend_Form helps you by simplifying the creation of these form elements as well as adding programmatic controls for validation, ordering, filtering, and grouping.

Summary: In my previous post Zend Framework, A First Look, I discussed the lacking nature of ZF’s documentation, in particular, with regards to Zend_Form. I have since then learned that this is partly due to the fact that Zend_Form is a relatively new component. However, I still wanted to make use of Zend_Form in my current project and decided to trudge through the learning curve of creating a simple custom login form in conjunction with Zend_Config; the end result being an easy to maintain, custom form and this guide. Hopefully, this guide will make it easier for anyone else looking to take advantage of this very cool feature.
