For the longest time, Zend Framework hasn’t had the strongest support for command-line tooling and scaffolding. However, in recent times, that’s all changed. Come find out how to use Expressive’s new tooling support to create modules and middleware rapidly.
HTML Tables, once used heavily for almost everything, have largely been relegated in the modern CSS/HTML5 world. Now they are only used for what they were originally designed for — rendering tabular data. So they’re still essential! But there’s a lot to them, if you want to use them properly. So there needs to be a way of rendering them easily and quickly. Today’s tutorial introduces a module which helps you do just that.
If you want to change a layout for one or all actions in a controller, how do you do it without overriding the layout globally? Today’s post shows how.
For the longest time, I’ve been using closures in my Zend Framework 2 Modules Module class. I know they’re not always the best approach, but they’re not necessarily wrong either.
But after reviewing Gary Hockin’s recent talk at PHP Conference UK, I was reminded that outside of APC and OPCache, closures aren’t cacheable.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
It’s a really exciting time at the moment with Zend Framework 2 gaining so much traction, after being stable for some time now.
Though I and countless others really enjoyed the 1.x series, it did leave some things to be desired - to be fair.
But the more I explore of the 2.x series, the more I honestly can say that I’m very impressed with it. It may not be as fast as the previous series, but with respect to development, there’s so much going for it it’s worth shouting about.
So it really is rewarding and exciting to begin covering all that it has to offer us. In part one of this series, I looked at a central concept of the revised framework - Dependency Injection.
