Zend Framework in Action

Jason Houle has posted an article on how to use Dojo’s digit.Editor WYSIWYG editor with Zend Framework.

In one of my current projects, AircraftConnection.com, I decided to use the dijit.Editor WYSIWYG editor in my user’s forms. I ran into a few problems and could not find much documentation on the topic.

1. I wanted the label, description, and field in a different order.
2. I wanted the data entered into the editor to actually be passed to the server when the form was submitted.
3. I wanted to pre-populate the form with data the user had previously entered.

He shows how to extend Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_Editor to provide a customised set to decorators and then goes on to show to to use it within a Zend Framework MVC application.

Check it out!

Enrico Zimuel has posted an article on how to build a secure login with Zend Framework:

After a long pause i’m come back on my blog with a post about the development of a secure web login system in PHP with the use of Zend Framework. The issue to build a login system in a web application is quite common. The security aspect of a login system is absolutely important and in this post i have summarized some of the main security points. Of course this is not the final solution but, in my opinion, is a good point of start for PHP developers.

He goes on to show all the key steps required including the use of ZendFormElement_Hash to help secure against CSRF attacks.

All in all a good read and Zend Framework 1.8 compatible too
