How to use debugging in Zend framework

Please tell me how to use debugging feature in Zend framework.
Iam not able to do debugging in my project..

Need a help

Iam working on a commercial website,
Using a fieldset , i have designed a page in php,
In that page, I have some of the checkbox and textbox controls , Whenever i click the submit button, without entering the entries in the proper place, It should show, " This Field is Required',I have already a jquery class which is called in the top of the form. The issue for me is, Whenever i click the button, The required field comes correctly, but it drags the value of the checkbox to down of this required field, Which looks akward, Instead it should be there. For example a checkbox value "Instant" is there, If i click the submit button, The "require" field comes after this checkbox and the value of the checkbox that is "Instant" comes down this "Require" msg. Is the problem is in the class, or design, I didnt understand,kindly help me what to do ???

Regards

Re: Good editor

I've used Crimson Editor for a while. There was something, I don't recall now, that I didn't like about the UI. I've been using using Programmer's Notepad (http://www.pnotepad.org/) now for a while, which also support a bunch of other languages HTML to Assembler.

Re: need of GET when POST can handle!

While using GET method you can access all form variables with the $_GET array in PHP and while using POST you can access the variables with a help of $_POST. You can also access all variables with a help of $_REQUEST array.

While using GET method all the submitted data is displayed in the address bar. You notice that information which is displayed after “?”, according to php form tutorial, will be something like that:

http ://domain.com/script.php?name1=value1&name2=value2

It can be useful, where you want to bookmark a page with some specific query string values. However, the GET method is limited by the URL length (2083 characters in Internet Explorer according to Microsoft) and every of the input values must not override 100 chars. May be you also don't want to provide GET method because of submitting important data like passwords, etc, it will be displayed in the address bar.

The POST method has possibility of much volume data sending (usually by the server settings limited) and it may be used unless it represents benefits in comparing GET method. A lot of browser can not correctly bookmark pages which are displayed after HTTP POST method, because the submitted data is displayed in the address bar.

When you need the query string, which is get by GET method using (ineffective by it’s limits), you will try to use POST method for your forms. You can use POST method if you submit the important information which shouldn’t be displayed in the address bar.

Re: saving state of an object

Thanks Kathy.
I`m using an m-v-c architecture with a single point of entry ( the controller). I was wondering what alternatives to sessions for storing object states there are within php? I`m playing with the code a bit here as I am learning how to do OO php within a component and service based framework. Im attempting to do a jsp/servlet approach using the basics of J2EE as applied to php.
Also I was wondering what is the equivalent of a java bean in php ? I know objects can be serialised but I`m not at all sure how to write any listeners without resorting to using someone elses library. Any tips and tricks would be much appreciated.

Re: Operator Precedence and Associativity

Hi,
Cool. Looks good. Thanks very much.

saving state of an object

Hi,
Im learning OO php. I know a reasonable amount of Java so Im ok with OO theory generally. My problem is how do i save an objects state in php as http is stateless. when resubmititng the form i want the object`s state to be available. The solution I can think of is passing the values i need saved to a session and with url rewriting as backup and then getting those values back when the form is resubmitted. Maybe Im missing something as I have only just started with OO php but I can not see how it would work otherwise. Anything more elegant would be appreciated or is it acceptable practice to do it this way?
Thanks for any help.

Operator Precedence and Associativity

Hi,
Does anybody have a good resources for studying Operator Precedence and Associativity?

I am reading the Zend PHP 5 Cert Study Guide and the Operator Precedence and Associativity on page 25 is not very clear to me.

thanks in advance,
nancy

Stop Working for the Man

Hi! Philip and Ryan here from the LoveMachine. http://www.lovemachineinc.com We're the founder and one of the creators of Second Life, and we've started a new company.

We're developing several very interesting pieces of software and we might be able to use your help. We're also doing things differently in terms of how we work together:

We don't do interviews, and we don't believe that paying people a monthly salary in exchange for telling them what to do makes sense anymore. It may never have. I know, I know, that's just crazy talk.

How we do things here is different - we have a worklist (http://dev.sendlove.us/worklist/worklist.php ) which contains what we need done and are doing. Find something you want to do and bid on it. Ping us in our journal. We give you a sandbox on our dev system and you do the work. If we like your work and your prices, we give you more stuff to do. There are other devs (and us) in the chat channel to answer questions (http://dev.sendlove.us/journal/ ). If there is something you think we need that's not on the list, tell us.

Also, based on the amount of work you've done, you get bonus money to distribute to everyone else in whatever way you think makes sense. That includes us, the founders. It's a very compelling way of building software. As we become profitable, we'll distribute net income in the same way. This is different than the traditional stock option based startup - we all participate in the success of the company equally and immediately.

We're looking for PHP/MySQL development, iPhone development, QA, and Program Management. We need people that are skilled generalists, fun to work with, and that can be trusted with root on our various machines. This could either be a part-time or full-time thing depending on you and your skills. We're flexible.

Love,
Philip and Ryan
