Ryan Mauger has a new post today looking at how to combine the Tidy extension for PHP and Firebug with a Zend Framework application to keep your HTML neat and valid with a handy bit of feedback for debugging.
With Zend Framework there is an easy way to ensure that you always create valid HTML in your applications. This involves the use of a simple Front Controller Plugin, and the php Tidy component. [...] So you can use tidy for filtering user input, what about using it to effectivly clean my documents and ensure my output is always valid?
He starts off with the pieces of the puzzle you'll need - the front controller plugin for the Zend Framework application, using the Tidy extension to filter your HTML and combining the two to make a dispatchShutdown() call to make the transformations. Firebug comes in to help with logging the issues Tidy found so you can correct them.

In a recent post to his blog Joey Rivera looks at using the Zend_paginator component with Twitter and APC to create a cachable, paged view of a set of Twitter API results.
I'm going to focus more on Zend_Paginator and Zend_Rest_Client to access Twitters API since I've already created a post on Zend_Cache. Normally, I would use Zend_Service_Twitter to access the twitter service but it still seems to require authentication to retrieve a users timeline where only protected users should require authentication.
He includes all of the needed code including the bootstrap.ini file and his own custom Twitter service class that grabs the timeline of the given user and calls the REST interface to grab the latest posts and caches them to a file.

PHPBuilder.com has a new article from Jason Gilmore on security in command-line applications posted today and what you can do to help protect your scripts from unwanted system command access.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to securely execute a variety of system-based commands via a PHP script, demonstrating how to build web applications that can tightly integrate with both the operating system and third-party software.
He mentions the proper filtering of input strings (user input), how it can protect your and your application as well as a few examples of using the PHP execution functions (like exec or passthru) and how to apply the shell escaping commands (like escapeshellarg) as a first layer of security.

Rob James has a new post looking at configuring Apache to run Tomcat and PHP together so you can have both Java and PHP apps running through the same Apache frontend.
Here is the scenario; you have a project that requires hosting a single website in a single web domain, but you have a mix of PHP applications and Java (or in my instance, GRAILS) applications that you need to run. [...] The problem is, that there is no good documentation to help you do this, so here I go!
His example sets up a site that will load static pages, run PHP applications, handle Java application requests without missing a beat. He starts from the very beginning - installing OpenSSH, vsftpd, MySQL, Apache, Java and Tomcat - all from packages on a Ubuntu linux installation. To connect Tomcat with Apache, you'll need to use the mod_proxy Apache module and configure the Tomcat server to listen on the right port.

If you're a NetBeans user and have been frustrated by it's default handling of non-PHP extension files as PHP, you should check out this new post from Sachin Khosl on digimantra.com on how to fix the issue.
You love coding in Netbeans and you find it pretty uneasy when it does not function the way you want it to. That was the same with me when I started development in drupal and I was unable to associate the .module as PHP in my favorite editor Netbeans. However with little play around with options I was able to associate .module files as PHP file in Netbeans IDE. So for doing so follow [these] steps.
You can change the setting for plenty of different extensions (and add your own custom ones) in the Options under the Miscellaneous section's Files tab. Check out this screenshot to see the location.

Zend_Paginator does a great job of creating pagination for a site. In this blog post I’m demonstrating how to use Zend_Paginator to easily create pagination of Twitter tweets using Zend_Rest_Client to access the Twitter Services. As a bonus, Zend_Cache is used to store the tweets to make the process more efficient.

In a project she's been working on Lorna Mitchell was frustrated with something the CodeIgniter framework does natively - escape SQL statements done through the databaase layer's "select()" method. Thankfully, there was a simple fix to turn this behavior off.
I've been getting increasingly impatient with its tendency to try to escape my SQL code for me - this is a really useful default feature but it seems to assume I don't know what I'm doing and so it puts backticks all over perfectly acceptable SQL code, very annoying!
Thanks to a reply on twitter from damiangostomski to her frustrations she found the optional second parameter you can give the "select()" method, a boolean that tells it whether or not to escape the query (it's mentioned here) for those that were wondering.

Zend has published a new white paper covering Zend Server 5 root cause analysis capabilities via code tracing. Code tracing captures PHP application execution both in production and in test lab environments. This allows developers to replay reported problems instead of trying to re-create them. As a result, there is a dramatic decrease in time consumed by root cause analysis.

In a new post to my blog , I discuss about integrating Symfony Dependency Injection Service Container with Zend Framework . Dependency Injection is an Inversion of Control specific pattern highly used and encouraged throughout Zend Framework implementation. A Dependency Injection container manages your services life-cycle, it is in charge of their instantiation, configuration and injection as shared instances: no more need to use static methods, singletons or factories for your services!
