Zend_Translate & TMX adapter – Source language strings as id

Thomas Weidner describes some additional functionality only available from Zend Framework 1.10.2+ and forward, for those of us that do *not* wish to use a separate message id/key but rather the source language string in the source code.

Set the “useId” option to false.
In this case the source language is used as message key and the source must be set as first translation.





Nachricht 1
message 1


Note the ‘useId’ => false below;

$translate = new Zend_Translate('tmx', $file, $locale, array('useId' => false));

Then “Nachricht 1” will be used as message key instead of “0001”.
Note that this works only as with 1.10.2 (or trunk as of today).

App_Controller_Helper_Params for JSON and XML POSTs

Matthew Weier O’Phinney shares a bit of very useful code to inject request params into a Zend Framework request object from a JSON or XML POST request.

“Below is a plugin I use to translate JSON or XML raw post request data to request user parameters.
Note that it expects a “Content-Type” header of either “application/json” or “application/xml”. If those are detected, it then does the translation and injection.
Once it has, you can then simply access the parameters from your request object like any others.
I actually use this with dojox.data.JsonRestStore already, so you should be set. :)”

class App_Controller_Helper_Params extends Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract {

 * @var array Parameters detected in raw content body

Introduction to Zend_Mail

A big thank you to Ryan Horn for putting together this great screencast about Zend_Mail. Ryan took the time to talk about how to setup a dev environment that uses a gmail account. This is perfect for folks like myself who work in a development environment that’s behind an annoying ISP firewall on SMTP (port 25). Ryan Horn is a web developer based out of Buffalo, feel free to reach him by email.

Keeping your HTML valid with Zend Framework, Tidy and Firebug

Ryan Mauger wrote a good article on tidying things behind the scenes, during development, definitely worth a look;

With Zend Framework there is an easy way to ensure that you always create valid HTML in your applications. This involves the use of a simple Front Controller Plugin, and the php Tidy component.

Valid HTML is important for a great many reasons, the most important of which is ensuring consistency across all of your visitors browsers. The first step to making sure that your site appears correctly on all the browsers is to ensure that your HTML is valid. Even if the goons at Microsoft continue to ignore the standards and do their own thing, if you at least ensure your html passes validation, then fixing things for Internet Explo(r|it)er of all its versions is a far easier task, and usually possible with a few simple extra styling rules in your CSS.

Zend_Form Translated Country & Currency Lists

A very common question is how do I get a localized / translated list of countries, currencies etc for a company registration form or similar.

Here is a easy to use sample; For your cut’n’paste pleasure 🙂


'HtmlTag'),
array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'element')),
'Label',
array(array('row' => 'HtmlTag'),
array('tag' => 'li')),
);

private $buttonDecorators = array(
'ViewHelper',
array(array('data' => 'HtmlTag'),
array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'button')),
array(array('row' => 'HtmlTag'),
array('tag' => 'li')),
);

public function init()
{
$this->setMethod('post');

$companyName = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('name', array(
'decorators' => $this->elementDecorators,
'label' => _('Company name'),
'description' => _('Enter the company name'),
'required' => true,
'filters' => array(
'StringTrim'
),
'validators' => array(
array('StringLength', false, array(6, 50))
),
'class' => 'input-text'
));

$accountNumber = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('accountno', array(
'decorators' => $this->elementDecorators,
'label' => _('Account number'),
'description' => _('Enter the ORG/VAT number.'),
'required' => true,
'filters' => array(
'StringTrim'
),
'validators' => array(
array('StringLength', false, array(12, 25))
),
'class' => 'input-text'
));
/**
* Generate a Country select box with the localized country
* names based upon the current application wide locale.
*/
$locale = Zend_Registry::getInstance()->get("Zend_Locale");

$countries = ($locale->getTranslationList('Territory',
$locale->getLanguage(),
2));

asort($countries, SORT_LOCALE_STRING);

$country = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('country', array(
'decorators' => $this->elementDecorators,
'label' => _('Country'),
'description' => _('Select the Country of Incorporation.'),
'required' => true,
'filters' => array(
'StringTrim'
),
'class' => 'input-select'
));

$country->addMultiOptions($countries)
->setValue($locale->getRegion());

/**
* Generate a Currency select box with the localizes currency
* names based upon the current application wide locale.
*/
$currencies= ($locale->getTranslationList('NameToCurrency',
$locale->getLanguage(),
2));

asort($currencies, SORT_LOCALE_STRING);

$currency = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('currency', array(
'decorators' => $this->elementDecorators,
'label' => _('Currency'),
'description' => _('Select the billing currency.'),
'required' => true,
'filters' => array(
'StringTrim'
),
'class' => 'input-select'
));

$currency->addMultiOptions($currencies)
->setValue('EUR');

$submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit('register', array(
'decorators' => $this->buttonDecorators,
'label' => _('Register'),
'class' => 'input-submit'
));
$this->addElements(Array($companyName,
$country,
$accountNumber,
$currency,
$submit));
}
}

Front Controller Pattern in Zend Framework

Bradley Holt writes a good article about Front Controller Patterns; I recently gave a Zend Framework Introduction presentation at our local PHP Users Group. I built a demo blogging application called Postr that I used as an example throughout the presentation. There was way too much material to cover in the time available so I plan on writing a series of blog posts, each covering a specific area of Zend Framework. Here is the first (and hopefully not the last!) post in this series based on the presentation and demo application.
