I've set up my virtual hosts to point to places:81, I know I've got that part right.

Here's my public/index.php file:

// places/public/index.php

bootstrap()
->run();

Here's my public/application/configs/appplication.ini file:

; ~/Sites/places/application/configs/application.ini

[production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0
phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
includePaths.models = APPLICATION_PATH "/../models"
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
appnamespace = "Application"

resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 0

db.adapter = PDO_MYSQL
db.params.host = localhost
db.params.username = nan
db.params.password = cooper
db.params.dbname = places
date_default_timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"
debug = 0

[staging : production]

[testing : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1
debug = 1

[development : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 1

db.params.dbname = places_test

Here's my places/application/Bootstrap.php file:

// ~/Sites/places/application/Bootstrap.php

registerNamespace('Places_');
//$loader->setFallbackAutoloader(true);
//$loader->suppressNotFoundWarnings(false);

// Load configuration
Zend_Registry::set('configSection', $configSection);
$config = new
Zend_Config_Ini(ROOT_DIR.'/application/configs/application.ini',
$configSection);
Zend_Registry::set('config', $config);

date_default_timezone_set($config->date_default_timezone);

// configure database and store to the registery
$db = Zend_Db::factory($config->db);
Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::setDefaultAdapter($db);
Zend_Registry::set('db', $db);
}

public function configureFrontController()
{
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$frontController->setControllerDirectory(ROOT_DIR .
'/application/controllers');
}

public function runApp()
{
// setup front controller
$this->configureFrontController();

// run!
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$frontController->dispatch();
}
}

My places/application/controllers/IndexController.php file:

view->title = 'Welcome to Places to take the kids!';
$placesFinder = new Places();
$this->view->places = $placesFinder->fetchLatest();
}
}

The places/tests/models/PlacesTest.php file:

// places/tests/models/PlacesTest.php

fetchAll();

// Check that row count is correct
$this->assertSame(3, $places->count());
}

public function testFetchLatestShouldFetchMostRecentEntriesInReverseOrder()
{
$placesFinder = new Places();
$places = $placesFinder->fetchLatest(1);

$this->assertSame(1, $places->count());

$thisPlace = $places->current();
$this->assertSame(2, (int)$thisPlace->id);
}
}

And finally, places/tests/TestConfiguration.php:

// places/tests/TestConfiguration.php

date_default_timezone);

// set up database
$db = Zend_Db::factory($config->db);
Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter($db);
Zend_Registry::set('db', $db);

}

static function setupDatabase()
{
$db = Zend_Registry::get('db'); /* @var $db Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract */

$db->query(<<query(<<query(<<query(<<query(<<query(<<<EOT

EOT
);
}
}

For the life of me, I can't figure out why running phpunit models_PlacesTest results in the following output:

OK (2 tests, 3 assertions)

include_once hasn't been used in any of the above files. And, all of the files and directories mentioned in /usr/local/PEAR/PHPUnit are present.

Is there any chance you can update the code to work with ZF1.10?

Thanks!

When trying to see either book from http://www.zendframeworkinaction.com/.

Thanks for the mvc tutorial. Will there be an up-to-date edition of the book (or an electronic version that is always up to date) soon?

Yes the book is still useful for ZF development. However, the MVC chapters, (2, 3 & 4) are less useful nowadays. Essentially, you need to go through my tutorial and then look at how 2,3,4 differ.

Regards,

Rob...

Listing 2.1 differs greatly from the index.php file that Zend_Tool places in the public folder.

Have things changed that much since ZF 1.5? Can I still use this book?

$base_url = substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 0, -9);
return $this->_baseUrl = $base_url;
}
}

By the way guelmismr it has taken me around 360 days (~12 months) to configure LAMP/WAMP, Bootstrapper, .htaccess, index.php, reading the basic chapters of ZFiA etc. etc.

I still haven't been able to play with the HTML and CSS part yet, maybe tomorrow when my punch cards are hot and ready :-)
