[production]
[production]
app.name = "Foo!"
app.name = "Foo!"
db.adapter = "Pdo_Mysql"
db.adapter = "Pdo_Mysql"
db.params.username = "foo"
db.params.username = "foo"
db.params.password = "bar"
db.params.password = "bar"
db.params.dbname = "foodb"
db.params.dbname = "foodb"

8. Getting and
Installing
Zend Framework

9. Always found at:
http://framework.zend.com
/download/latest

10. Unzip/Untar
• Use CLI:
% tar xzf ZendFramework-1.9.2-
minimal.tar.gz
% unzip ZendFramework-1.9.2-
minimal.zip
• Or use a GUI file manager

11. Add to your
include_path
<?php
<?php
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
'.',
'.',
'/home/matthew/zf/library',
'/home/matthew/zf/library',
get_include_path(),
get_include_path(),
)));
)));

12. Step 1:
Create the project

13. Locate the zfModel in the Controller
Using the utility
 In bin/zf.sh of bin/zf.bat of your ZF install
(choose based on your OS)
 Place bin/ in your path, or create an alias on
your path:
alias zf=/path/to/bin/zf.sh

14. Create the project
# Unix:
# Unix:
% zf.sh create project quickstart
% zf.sh create project quickstart
# DOS/Windows:
# DOS/Windows:
C:> zf.bat create project quickstart
C:> zf.bat create project quickstart

15. Create a vhost
<VirtualHost *:80>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin you@atyour.tld
ServerAdmin you@atyour.tld
DocumentRoot /abs/path/to/quickstart/public
DocumentRoot /abs/path/to/quickstart/public
ServerName quickstart
ServerName quickstart
<Directory /abs/path/to/quickstart/public>
<Directory /abs/path/to/quickstart/public>
DirectoryIndex index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
</VirtualHost>

16. Fire up your browser!

19. Step 2:
Create a controller

20. Create a controller
All controllers extend
Zend_Controller_Action
Naming conventions
 Controllers end with 'Controller':
IndexController, GuestbookController
 Action methods end with 'Action':
signAction(), displayAction(), listAction()
Controllers should be in the
application/controllers/ directory, and named
after the class, with a “.php” suffix:
application/controllers/IndexController.php

21. IndexController.php

22. Step 3:
Create the model

23. Using the Model in the Controller
Using the Model in the Controller
• Controller needs to retrieve Model
• To start, let's fetch listings

24. Using the Model in the Controller
Adding the Model to the Controller

25. Using the Model in the Controller
Table Module – Access Methods

26. Step 4:
Create views

27. Create a view
Create a view script
• View scripts go in application/views/scripts/
• View script resolution looks for a view script
in a subdirectory named after the controller
– Controller name used is same as it appears on the
url:
• “GuestbookController” appears on the URL as
“guestbook”
• View script name is the action name as it
appears on the url:
• “signAction()” appears on the URL as “sign”

28. index/index.phtml view script

29. Step 5:
Create a form

30. Create a Form
Zend_Form:
• Flexible form generations
• Element validation and filtering
• Rendering
View helper to render element
Decorators for labels and HTML wrappers
• Optional Zend_Config configuraion

31. Create a form – Identify elements
Guestbook form:
• Email address
• Comment
• Captcha to reduce spam entries
• Submit button

32. Create a form – Guestbook form

33. Using the Form in the Controller
• Controller needs to fetch form object
• On landing page, display the form
• On POST requests, attempt to validate the
form
• On successful submission, redirect

34. Adding the form to the controller

35. Step 6:
Create a layout

36. Layouts
• We want our application views to appear in
this:
