So, what is wrong with Zend_Acl and the current MVC implementation in the Zend Framework? there is nothing wrong, it is just that it gets not too obvious for developers how to achieve an optimal integration between these two important parts of the framework.

He talks about the proposal that's out for a potential update to the component, the two key points being the front controller plugin and a new action helper. He includes some sample code showing how to set it all up including a "denied" controller to handle the failures.

This article will guide you through the steps needed to set up a project using both the Zend Framework and Doctrine. In a step-by-step way, we will set up a simple message board application.

He includes introductory things like the folder structure and an example of having Doctrine installed inside of it. Its all code from there on out - the bootstrap file, setting up a global handler, and how to integrate it all into their simple ZF application.

PHP, .net and Silverlight will be integrated out of the box, along with Visual Studio 2008. The project has long been in the works, but our sources have informed us of an impending announcement that PHP 6 will ship with .net.

The glue between them is a part of the phlanger project.

In simple terms, my plan will consist of creating some compact and modular PHP 5 classes, which will define a few basic methods for working with the different web services offered by Yahoo!.

They take the code they created from before (earlier parts of the series) and format it to fit into its own standalone class that can be included anywhere in an application. They create the class so it can search not only the normal results but it can also pull in the data from the video search Yahoo! offers as well.

The ideal was to move away from line-by-line setup and manipulation of Zend instances towards a more simplified model which is standardised for any PHPSpec specs.

He's already created an "experimental branch" to work inside of and some of these updates have been made to the trunk for the release of PHPSpec 0.3.0. The key that he found was in getting the customization of the "Zend Context operational to set up elements of the FrontController". He also includes a simple example of the extended functionality in action - simple interface methods to work with Twitter.

From te post by javalizard:

I've been wanting to share with all you something new and special. I've needed to use Wordpress Multiuser as blogging software (it's supported and has new releases once in a while and people know how to use it) with PRADO. Auxiliary is the integration of BBPress too. Basically, it's a single login system for prado, blogs, and forums.

This setup lets you manage user information (roles, permissions, abilities) for WordPress through PRADO, handles user authentication and applies WordPress code libraries (actions/filters) and plugins.
