About Zend Framework, ZF 1.12
Terkadang bagi yang baru mulai menggunakan Zend Framework (ZF) sering bingung memilih method mana yang paling cocok diantara method init() dan preDispatch() ketika akan digunakan pada permasalahan mereka. Sebenarnya kedua method ini sama-sama berada di dalam action controller dengan tujuan/kegunaannya masing-masing.
Apabila Anda menemukan error seperti ini ketika menggunakan fungsi date() :
Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected ‘Asia/Jakarta’ for ‘WIT/7.0/no DST’ instead in /home/toosa/public_html/basicphp/date1.php on line 2
Ini tandanya Zend Server Anda belum terisi dengan benar. Karena itu masuklah ke Administrasi Zend Server, masuk ke Server Setup lalu cari directive date.timezone , isilah sesuai dengan time zone yang Anda inginkan, misalnya Asia/Jakarta.
Zend Framework is one of popular PHP Framework which mostly use for enterprise application. So it will be a little bit complex for the beginers. But don’t worry, I am a beginers too :). I assume that your server is the same with mine, it use linux/unix operating system and can be accessed by ssh/telnet. When I wrote this post, I still use ZF ver. 1.11.
Ok then, lets rock !
1. Get Zend Framework and prepare your site based on Zend Framework
We will get the latest zend framework ini minimal configuration , extract and rename it (I choose ZendFramework-1.11.9-minimal) to ZendFramework then place it under public_html directory (or you can place as you like).
# cd /home/username/public_html
# tar -zxvf ZendFramework-1.11.9-minimal.tar.gz
# mv ZendFramework-1.11.9-minimal ZendFramework
We will use Zend Tools which located in ZendFramework/bin/zf.sh, so we need to create an alias. You need to modify /home/username/.bashrc by add the text bellow at the end of file :
alias zf.sh=/home/username/public_html/ZendFramework/bin/zf.sh
After you modify this file, you need to re-login. Now, every time You login, Zend tools is ready to use 🙂
Check your Zend Tools :
# zf.sh show version
Zend Framework Version: 1.11.9
2. Create a ZF project (let say “zfstart”).
# cd /home/username/public_html
# zf.sh create project zfstart
3. Create a symbolic link of your zend library to your project library directory
# cd /home/username/public_html/zfstart/library
# ln -s /home/username/public_html/ZendFramework/library/Zend
4. And finaly you will have zfstart project directory structure bellow:
5. Test your project
http://yourdomain/zfstart/public
Then you should see like this bellow :
Congratulation !
