doctype(); ?>
This is my layout
layout()->content; ?>

The above text was what I got after creating the initial layout.phtml. Turns out that I had short_tags turned off in the php.ini configuration.

Is there a tutorial on how to setup Zend_Tool to work in a MacOS X + MAMP (or XAMPP) development environment?

The interaction between Terminal.app and MAMP’s instance of PHP is something that has me completely befuddled.

Thanks!!

the < ?= notation is considered a “short tag”, however its considered a good practice when dealing with PHP as a templating engine for brevity. You can always use < ?php echo instead, I just prefer the terse notation, and most web hosts have short_tags enabled in their php.ini file.

Nice screencast. I am having problems with the notation you use in the layout.phtml file. Specifically, the

No code Assist, either, like I see in your video.

Thanks,

CharlesH

must appear in head tags

Hi Jon.
Nice screencast as always. But I
think you have a little bug at the end. If you want to show meta info from Bootstrap file : $view->headMeta(), you also should add some code to layout.phtml

headMeta() ?>
.

Hi Fadel,

the default prefix for models in the models folder should be Model_

you should have to register any special include paths if you’re using Zend_Application and the new Bootstrap class.

@Harshi: I don’t use windows for development and my php.ini file is pretty standard (I can’t think of the last time I even opened it). I do the videos in the same environment that I develop for my clients. Unfortunately, setting up a Windows dev environment would be out of the scope of zendcasts or this video series.

How can i set the include path, i have a problem with my models after a migration from 1.7 to 1.8

thanks

Hi Fernando,

both products are good and I’ll probably be switching off from one product to another. Currently, I’m using ZSE professionally so my videos are going to use it as well.

Hi John.

Why do you start using eclipse in your tutorials instead of netbeans ?

Hi Zendy,
You need to make sure that the XDebug module is installed and working with PHP. This is a PHP thing, not a Zend thing. That way, you’ll get nice looking error messages.

Best!

Hi Jon – excellent videos!
How do I get this nice display of errors as shown in this video? I installed 1.8.2 but still get the whole stack trace in one line.

Hi Jim,

you’re quite right! I was a little surprised when that happened, but I figured I would just keep moving along. I’m sure eventually they’ll have all the bugs sorted out of Zend_Tool.

Good intro to zend_tool. For those just starting to play with this new feature of zend framework there are a few bugs yet to be worked out. Keep this in mind to minimize frustrations. In your demo you encounter one.

When trying to create an index controller inside your admin module you got an error message that a controller by that name already exists, referring to the default IndexController. It should be possible to create another controller of the same name inside a different module w/o conflicting with controllers with like names in different modules. A similar error is encountered when trying to create actions of the same name inside controllers of the same name.

see: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-6755

Keep up the good work with the video tutorials.

All the best,
Jim
