The Square Root of Three

2010-08-18T12:24:52Z

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that's great and right
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just a quick arithmetic
I know I'll never see a sum, as 1.7321
Such as my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
The love for me has been renewed

Please add this to css for zendcasts.com comments

.post .commentlist .wp-smiley{
float:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

I really hate to read those comments where every single smiley is floated to the left. This way every single smiley that is in comment list will be positioned as it should - right where you put it in your comment, aka it wont be floated to the left.

How to use Zend Validator to report various messages for an element

2010-08-10T08:50:22Z

I want to add multiple validation rules and their associated error messages while creating a Zend Form element. Also want to list the error messages for all erroneous fields at the top of the form. How this can be achieved?
If I add some fields at run-time (e.g. qualification-1, 2 ... etc.) Is it possible to handle them and add suitable filters?

The other part is, if I want a client side validation using Zend jQuery support, is there any solve for inline and submit time validations? How to attach an AJAX related validation?

What are the advantages of using Doctrine?

2010-07-23T18:08:45Z

Hi All,

I am 3-4 days old to zend framework I am looking various article and various tutorial and try to learn the zend framework.

Just wanted to get more info on zend frame want to ask few question on using the doctrine.

My Questions are,

1) I have seen online tutorial, and most of the place i found examples where user has used ZEND_DB_TABLE api with insert, update delete, or custom query. Since zend_db_table api is zend inbuild component it will work fast rather than if we use third part layer like doctrine or propel. Please let me know if i am wrong here.

2) If we want to use the doctrine then we need to do additional configuration and learn doctrine

3) Here i am not sure how cache with work with doctrine
i.e. 1) Not sure if doctrine do the query catch or sql output cache in file or memory. If yes then how zend cache will manage it i.e. delete , update or add.
2) If doctrine doing the cache then should we use doctrine method for caching?
3) If we use zend_db_table api's with zend cache, isn't its fast and better?

Please let me know on above points.

Regards,
Ash

Currently by default it shows each check boxes one below the other. Please let me know what option value i should pass while creating the multiple check boxes element.

Is zend cast fast?

2010-07-12T14:34:10Z

Well, as the title said, is it fast ? I've never used a framework before. So I'm wondering if it's faster to load a naked PHP compare to loading Zend object where I see there is much replacing functions to be done under the hood.

How to make standard PHP exception beautiful?

2010-06-15T00:55:09Z

Hello Jon,

Could you tell us how we can make standard php exception handler similar to yours, Jon? In your videos, your php exceptions looks very cool.. Everything wrapped into lines, but mine is printed just inline. Very hard to find the actual error msg, lines and etc..

Thanks ;)

Best ZF Website Ever

2010-04-27T14:50:22Z

If had found you in 2008 I probably would still be a programmer now. I got a job at a company that was really leveraging the Zend Framework and I thought I new how to use it and it turns out I had no idea. If I had had your input, especially the Doctrine stuff I probably wouldn't have had so much trouble getting stuff out of the database and would have kept that job. Stuff that would take the fresh out of college guys ten minutes to figure out was taking me days. Then again when I learned programming it was Cobol and Fortran. NO OOP to speak of. Let alone MVC. Anyway, I still use PHP and the Zend Framework for my personal site and for some little things I do for some friends. Your Web Casts have been invaluable. I can't say thank you enough. Looking forward to devouring the new ones.

Setting up on Fedora with zend_tool

2010-02-17T03:12:40Z

hi,

I am a new member and I am definitely a noob with Zend so please any help will do. I was trying to setup on fedora on the command line and I get an error about DOMDocument error with the XML class or so. I looked up the error and it seems it's coming from Zend_Tool_Profile_FileParser_Xml.php on line 82( could be different line on your system). from the way it behaves it seems it cannot find a relevant xml/dom parser for php on fedora(11/10/9 believe me I tried all these version in Virtual Machines). I tried setting up Zend Framework on OpenSuse and it worked fine creating the projects with Zend tool etc but not on Fedora. Can anyone help with suggestions on what is the way foward?

Thanks and God bless.

Doctrine YAML Schema File - Relations

2010-01-01T17:38:53Z

i am abit confused with foreignXXX vs 'local' attributes/options inside YAML Schema. specifically in the relations node now.

when i have something like:

ProjectCategory:
columns:
id:
type: integer
primary: true
name: string(12)
relations:
Project:
local: id // refers to ProjectCategory.id
foreign: category_id // refers to Project.category_id
type: many // refers to? many projects?
foreignType: one // refers to? many projects ... to one category?
Project:
columns:
id:
type: integer
primary: true
category_id: integer
name: string(60)
relations:
Category:
class: projectCategory
local: category_id
foreign: id
type: one

type (& foreignType) gives me the most confusion.

local refers to the local class's field and foreign refers to the foreign 1. right? for eg. under ProjectCategory's relations node, local refers to ProjectCategory's id field and foreign refers to Project's category_id field.

but for type, it seems different. after some setting up databases/tables in phpMyAdmin then generate-yaml-db, discovered that when i say type:many in ProjectCategory/relations/Project it means many projects. right?

at first assuming i take type just like local where local in ProjectCategory means ProjectCategory, so type:many will mean many ProjectCategory's.
