Stas Malyshev’s Blog: ZF Oauth Provider
Aug 29, 2011 php, Zend Framework
In a new post Stas Malyshev has shared some code for an OAuth provider he’s written up to work specifically with Zend Framework applications.
Zend Framework has pretty good OAuth consumer implementation. However, it has no support for implementing OAuth provider, and it turns out that there aren’t many other libraries for it. Most examples out there base on PECL oauth extension, which works just fine, with one caveat – you have to have this PECL extension installed, while ZF implementation does not require that. So I went ahead and wrote some code that allows to easily add OAuth provider to your ZF-based or ZF-using application. That should make writing OAuth provider easier.
His code just fleshes out the server portion of the provider, not all of the token generation and key handling it’ll need on the backend – that’ll still be the job of your scripts. You can find the library over on github in his Zend_OAuth_Provider repository.

For those who haven’t put the recurring event in their calendar, the Zend Framework Monthly Bug-hunt is here again! This Thursday, Friday and Saturday (the 25th, 26th and 27th of August), we’ll be hosting our monthly bug hunt. For those of you unfamiliar with the event, each month, we organize the community to help reduce the number of open issues reported against the framework
Ralph reminds everyone of the change in tracking methods in their Jira setup and how to find some issues to tackle when you start your debugging. You can also just visit this page to get the full list of unresolved issues. Additional instructions are included in the post on “getting started” resources, how your fixes help the framework and a guide you can follow to get the ball rolling.

Lee Blue’s Blog: What’s The Best PHP Framework?
Aug 24, 2011 php, Zend Framework
Despite the somewhat inflammatory title, Lee Blue‘s latest post wondering about the best PHP framework has some interesting insight into a few of them that he’s tried out – CodeIgniter, Zend Framework, Kohana, Yii and his pick for his needs, the Fat-Free Framework.
There is an enormous number of PHP frameworks available so I thought I share my experiences working with some of the most popular frameworks for PHP development. I have personally used all of the frameworks I describe either for my own projects or for actual client work. Here are my notes on how I evaluated various PHP frameworks and why I chose the PHP Fat-Free Framework as my PHP framework of choice.
Most of the in-depth looks are at CodeIgniter, Zend Framework and Fat-Free, but he does mention some general impressions of the others. He gets into the most detail on Fat-Free talking about its features, advantages – including size, being built for PHP 5.3 and good project documentation – as well as some hints are future posts looking at some of his experience with the framework in his own projects.

David Stockton’s Blog: Zend JSON – An Introduction
Aug 24, 2011 php, Zend Framework
David Stockton has a new post to his ZendTutorials.com site today introducing you to an increasingly more handy Zend Framework component that can make your messaging needs easier. The new tutorial introduces you to Zend_Json, a component for generating and parsing JSON messages.
In the past few years, JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation has seemed to overtake XML and other data encoding methods on the web. [...] I’ve also seen numerous examples of developers who create their own sort of JSON encoder rather than either using json_encode or using Zend_Json. What inevitably comes back to bite them is when the data they are encoding contains a special character like quotes, colons, curly brackets, etc.
He demonstrates how the Zend_Json component helps to alleviate some of the worries with built-in features that handle everything from basic encoding/decoding, printing out results in a “pretty” way and a handy way to include executable Javascript (once it’s evaled on the other side) in your payload. He finishes the tutorial off with a mention of a very handy method that will please those already having to work with XML – the fromXML() method that automagically converts the data over to JSON for you.
