The way you write it you're assuming I should know stuff but I clearly don't. You say things like: "to enable a x helper you just write such and such a class provided you have enabled the namespace." or something like that. Basically any time you use the word "just" it's not "just". It means there's an assumption. I am not stupid. I just don't see how it all fits together. In most of your examples I have no clue how to modify it to suit my situation, whether it goes under my custom stuff in library or whether that long naming thing works elsewhere and how that whole config thing works. Do you have a basic and I mean EXTREMELY BASIC example that explains in an airtight and general way that has no dependencies on ANYTHING except just an out of the box Zend Tool install. Idea: Take a plain vanilla Zend Tool install and write a simple plugin. Show where to put it and how to get ZF to find it in the app. Explain the name. If there is some namespace thing going on explain that. Explain how to put it in the config and use it with minimum code writing. I have just followed the manual to retrofit an app that worked under 1.7. Of course I have broken it, that was to be expected. My error message is this: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Controller_Action_Exception' with message 'Action Helper by name Acl not found' I have several files called Acl.php so it's clear that ZF isnt' finding them because I haven't properly registered them. Is it configuration or code? What is best practics for making it find it? I must have a fundamental lack of understanding of the infrastructure.

Obviously you take the normal optimizations but not all of us work for twitter :P I would rather buy another server or add memory than spend weeks trying to refactor a business change into an application....

Is there anyone using Zend Framework caring about performance, memory consumption, speed of execution, or are you all design patterns freaks :) Geeez ... you are bringing php to its knees, this is such a bloat, but at least, there is finally a standard way we should startup our projects, getting rid of that flexi...jungle we all have done before these components.

And a try catch around a Bootstrap::run(); Everything is handled within the bootstrap class, including setting the include paths and setting the autoloader. That way if for some reason php would be disabled the index.php shows the user nothing that might give away information about the system. So from just seeing that file you can't even see I use Zend, nor any other information about the include path. The bootstrap is so general I could even have differend includes based on certain settings (include the incubator only in development mode, because it's not ready for production yet).

There are three more resources or, taking your words, resource plugins. You can see them here: http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/branches/user/freak/Zend/Application/Resource/ . You may want to take a look to Zym framework too: http://www.zym-project.com/docs/reference/zym.app.html#zym.app.environments Cheers holo Thanks for the article.

The modules resource looks for a Bootstrap.php file inside the modules dir like: modules default module1 Bootstrap.php Where bootstrap.php is a class that extends the module base bootstrap class. I think this aspect is still being worked on so it could change! To setup modules you use the modules resource, I am using this on my storefront example app here:

modules

module1

Where bootstrap.php is a class that extends the module base bootstrap class.

I think this aspect is still being worked on so it could change!
