php|architect: Zend Framework - A Practical Tutorial
On php|architect's site, in wake of the Zend Framework preview release previously, they've posted a step-by-step tutorial on how to get it installed, work it it, and ultimately create a simple news application.
The Zend Framework has been unveiled! Although it is still in the early stages of development, this tutorial highlights some of the best of what's available now and guides you through the process of building a simple application.
Zend has chosen to release the framework and involve the community early. In the same spirit, this tutorial is written to showcase the framework as it exists today. Because this tutorial is published online, I'll update it as the framework evolves, so that it remains relevant as long as possible.
This isn't a tutorial for those that aren't into object oriented programming with PHP yet, as it relies heavily on knowledge or classes and how they work together. In the tutorial, they take you through everything - the install, the structure, and some more detail on what the packages are (Zend_Controller, Zend_View, and Zend_InputFilter). Once all of that knowledge is in place, they start the work on the news application, creating a script that uses a more MVC approach to interface with a SQLite database and allow users to enter news items and for an admin to approve them.Developer Works: Understanding the Zend Framework
We programmers are a paradoxically lazy lot. By that, I mean that we will spend hours, even days, creating something that allows us to complete a task in 30 seconds instead of five minutes. So perhaps the creation of the Zend Framework isn't much of a surprise.
You mean you haven't heard of the Zend Framework? Don't worry -- you will. This article gives you a high-level view of the Zend Framework, explaining its general concepts and preparing you for the rest of this "Understanding the Zend Framework" series, which goes into the details by chronicling the creation of a new online RSS/Atom feed reader. We won't do much coding in this article, but for the rest of the series, you should be familiar with PHP.Zend Developer Zone: Ajax Chat Tutorial
This tutorial is a step by step introduction to creating a lightweight chat application using XML as a storage medium. As personal motivation, I develop PHP games as a hobby. In pursuit of that hobby I've found that offering a flat threadless forum in such games tends to result in heavy usage as players attempt to use it as a chat room. The reason is that even with the advent of irc and instant messengers, users continue see an alternative web based solution as attractive for a number of reasons whether its limited access to instant messengers through a corporate proxy or simply for convenience sake.
