The document discusses the Zend Framework, which is a PHP full stack framework and component library. It can be used as a complete framework or individual components can be utilized independently. The framework includes an MVC system, templating, database abstraction, forms, authentication, and more. It aims to simplify and standardize common PHP development tasks.

15. We can use this…
Independently (for the most part)
Together as a whole

16. Examples!
Lets look at the 1’s and 0’s

17. Lets Look At The Stack
Most of the time, Zend Framework 1 will be used as a full
stack
Zend Framework 2 is better designed to be used in
chunks

24. Kicking Off The Process
Lots of Magic

25. Parts of the Magic
This Magic Is The Good Kind

26. The Autoloader
Automatically finds and loads a class when invoked

27. The Configuration File

28. The MVC System
URI is converted into a code resource
http://www.myapp.com/mycontroller/myaction
Northwest Ohio PHP User Group 28 1/23/2012

29. The MVC System
Determines the View to use
http://www.myapp.com/mycontroller/myaction
Northwest Ohio PHP User Group 29 1/23/2012

30. Modules, Controllers,
Actions
Oh My
Northwest Ohio PHP User Group 30 1/23/2012

31. How It Works
1. A URI specifies a controller and an action (and
sometimes a module)
2. The system instantiates the controller, and calls the
action
3. By default, the controller will render a view (HTML, XML,
JSON) for the action
4. This gets displayed to the browser

33. The Database
I couldn’t think of a clever tagline for this one
Northwest Ohio PHP User Group 33 1/23/2012

34. Zend_Db and Zend_Db_Table
Automatically maps a table to an object
Abstracts the DB
Northwest Ohio PHP User Group 34 1/23/2012

35. The Templating System
PHP is a template system!
Northwest Ohio PHP User Group 35 1/23/2012

36. Zend_View
Northwest Ohio PHP User Group 36 1/23/2012

37. Other Advantages
Dynamic loading of CSS and JS
Layout system, so each action only worries about it’s
specific content
Partials, so code can be reused (like table rows)
Can be turned off when needed
Northwest Ohio PHP User Group 37 1/23/2012

38. Other Useful Pieces
Because we’re probably running out of time
Northwest Ohio PHP User Group 38 1/23/2012

39. Just To Name a Few
Zend_Form for form generation and validation
Zend_Filter for filtering user input
Zend_Auth and Zend_Acl for authentication and access
control
Zend_Mail for dealing with sending (and receiving!) of e-
mail
