The Zend Framework team announces the immediate availability of Zend Framework 1.10.7, our seventh maintenance release in the 1.10 series. This release includes around 60 bug fixes. For those uses of Zend_Service_Twitter , please ensure you upgrade to 1.10.6 or 1.10.7 ASAP. These releases introduce a change in the Zend_Service_TWitter API that enforces the use of OAuth by default when using methods that require authentication. The change was introduced to help prepare Zend Framework users for the Twitter OAuthcalypse in mid-August. (If you cannot upgrade, there are other ways to integrate Zend_Oauth with Zend_Service_Twitter .)

There are gargantuan amounts of data that organizations are storing thanks to the advent of really cheap storage. To cope with this, organizations end up buying bigger and bigger database servers/clusters. But maybe, just maybe, there’s a shortcut. This coming Thursday (July 22nd) Zend is having a webinar with InfoBright looking at how a columnar databases can help deal with analytical data requests on large amounts of data.

Most PHP frameworks natively support the separation of interface and business logic. However, if your project is small enough that you don't need a framework (or if you just don't like them), you can still achieve the same benefits by using a standalone template engine. In this article, I'll introduce you to one such engine, which goes by the rather unique name of Dwoo.

Development on websites when the product will run on a Varnish'ed' production environment can be a pain in the ass. The xml tag that can be used to define Edge Side Includes can't be parsed by a standard browser. While developing you often look at a half rendered website implementation. This is something you really don't want!

For one of my recent project, which is using Zend_Log component of the Zend Framework, I had a demand in which I needed to be able to filter log events based on the time they occurred. As out of the box, Zend_Log component does not have such filter, I decided to create one that will fulfill my demands.

Varnish’s Edge Side Includes are a powerful tool that give developers a lot of flexibility. Bas de Nooijer has written an interesting blog post on how to control them from within your Zend Framework application.

One complaint we've heard often of ZF users is confusion over how acronyms are represented in class names. As an example, many suggest that "Zend_PDF" is more semantically correct and easier to remember than "Zend_Pdf". On the other side of the coin, many developers feel that our MixedCasing or Titlecasing of acronyms is a simple, easily learned rule that makes typing easier.
