Making JSON Objects from Zend_Controllers (Using JQuery)

I started this video thinking it would be short and it ended up close to 30 minutes. If you find these videos too long, please let me know and I’ll break them up.

In my own defense, this video covers a lot of ground. I introduce JQuery and immediately put it to work for sending and receiving JSON requests to our Zend_Controller. The JSON is automatically generated from a set of PHP classes in a PHP array, thanks to Zend_Json.

This video is part 2 of my introduction to Zend_Form. These last two videos have been a bit long since Zend_Form has a lot of behavior.

I’ve also included the source code for this video. Hopefully this will help you follow along.

download the source here, I haven’t included the Zend Framework itself, but I imagine you can grab a copy off of the Zend website.

Zend_Form Introduction, part 1

This screencast ran a little long, and unfortunately I’ll have to post the rest next week. We start with creating a DTO (Data Transfer Object) that will house our data as we pass it from the Controller, to the form and then back to the view. Zend_Form is used for validation and rendering.

enjoy!
