Embedding a swf File into a view script page
In order to embed a swf file into a view script (for example index.phtml) using the Zend Framework use htmlFlash([path to swf], [attributes in array],[array of params to pass into swf])
You need to pass the method the width and height or it will not show up in Firefox. The third parameter is for an [...]
Apache mod_rewrite preferred setting- right from ZF Quickstart
Upon my nth read of the Quickstart something jumped out at me that I have overlooked the first times through. It allows for redirection of the url through the FrontController in cases where the url does not exist (this allows swf and flv files to be accessed. The preferred .htaccess content for mod_rewrite is as [...]
Zend AMF Misadventures- Pitfalls and Tips
I’ve been fortunate enough to get to spend many hours with the Zend Framework and with Zend_AMF the last few weeks. I’m blown away by the power of the framework and the tools that it puts at a developer’s disposal. I’m even more impressed by the ease with which Zend_AMF puts these tools right at [...]
PureMVC Fabrication - Still Rising
I got notice from Darshan Sawardekar that there have been some updates to Fabrication which I first blogged about here for PureMVC. First of all I’d like to say that I’m honored that Darshan even noticed me toying with Fabrication and let me know that there was a “fresh batch”. Then I was embarrassed because [...]
Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.BadVersion I hate you
There are few things that strike pure fear in my heart when I’m programming. Usually a stack-trace of red means I dig in there and make it “do-what-it-do” and track a bug until I corner it and inevitably figure out how to solve it. NetConnection errors have always held a special place in my heart-and [...]

Apache mod_rewrite in Zend and Flex integration- my friend .htaccess
I’ve been doing quite a bit of research for the last few weeks about the Zend Framework and the integration with Adobe Flex in preparation for the release of Zen_AMF_Server module. A recurring issue that came up is that Zend’s framework uses the Apache mod_rewrite module to redirect the paths to the appropriate directories. I’m [...]
Zend_AMF Server Link Collection
I have accumulated a collection of Zend_AMF links in the process of doing some research about Zend_AMF_Server. To save other developers hours of google work I have tried to organize these links into a categorized page. If I have missed a resource that you found to be useful or you have a blog about the [...]
Who is Georgia Pines on Facebook? Check the Urban Dictionary
The first thing I saw when I went to Georgia Pines profile page is the dearth of information. That’s a lie- The first thing I noticed was the profile picture. Her profile picture is scantily clad and playful enough to make it unpleasant to report her to facebook (the simplicity of the mail mind is astounding). I then noticed that the only post from her wall is from a gentleman who also does not remember asking her to be his friend.
