Comments
However, with the amount of typos, errors, and differences between the example code (which each example includes you downloading the Zend Framework all over again) and the examples in the book, it will likely confuse those who have no experience with the Zend Framework and be boggled when their code does not compile for what the init() function when it's mentioned in chapter 2, but not explained until chapter 3 (where they mention they it should have been mentioned in chapter 2 but wasn't).
Worth reading if you've played around with ZF and wanted to see an example usage for it.
It was worth it for me.
You can use the system quite alright with yoursite/index.php/controller/action/ .. url scheme. Just notice the index.php being part of the url. Otherwise it works just fine.
Hope this helps
I run my Zend Framework apps on IIS 6.0 (Windows Server 2003) with friendly URLs. I've successfully installed a free rewrite module called Ionic's ISAPI Rewrite Filter (see http://cheeso.members.winisp.net/IIRF.aspx). I then added the following rules to IsapiRewrite4.ini:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^[\w/\%]*(?:\.(?!(?:js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$)[\w\%]*$)? /index.php [I]
I then added this code to my bootstrap file (index.php):
// dont prepend /index.php to System-wide Redirects
$redirectHelper = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('Redirector');
$redirectHelper->setPrependBase(false);
It seems to work ok, I haven't had any trouble so far.
Cheers,
