Work with XML Data in the Zend Framework
by Cal Evans (editor) |
1 comment | Friday, September 1, 2006
One of the incubator projects in the Zend Framework is Zend_Db_Xml. Zend_Db_Xml, also known as the XML Content Store (XCS), allows web applications that use XML data to easily update, save, and otherwise manage this data. In this article I will introduce the XCS persistence API and discuss an implementation using IBM’s DB2 9 database with its pureXML technology. Finally, I’ll discuss a sample social networking application to show how easy and fun it is to develop XML-centric applications using the XCS.

Recently I released a new project to help PHP developers get started with two Adobe web technologies: Ajax and Flex. (Flex is an Eclipse based plugin that helps software developers build applications that get delivered via the Flash player.) The (unofficial) Adobe PHP SDK contains samples and code in a single .zip file that show how to connect a PHP backend to two different front ends: Ajax for those who prefer HTML interfaces, and Flex for those that prefer a Flash interface.

STREAMLINE WORKING WITH XML IN PHP USING SERVICE DATA OBJECTS - PART 2
by Graham Charters |
2 comments | Wednesday, August 9, 2006
Most PHP programmers will know that much of the function they use resides in PHP extensions, which usually either come packaged with their PHP distribution or can be downloaded from the PECL site. One such extension supports Service Data Objects (SDO) for PHP, which in February moved from a beta-level 0.9.0 release to a stable 1.0. Written by some of the original developers of the SDO extension, this article is aimed at the PHP programmer who wants to understand what SDO for PHP is, how it can be used, and how it can streamline working with XML.

5 comments | Wednesday, August 2, 2006
Service Data Objects (SDOs) have been around in the Java™ technology world since November 2003. They are designed as a means of simplifying and unifying working with heterogeneous data sources. In February 2005, IBM and Zend announced a strategic partnership to collaborate on the development and support of the PHP environment. One aspect of this collaboration has been the definition and implementation of SDOs for PHP. This article gives an overview of SDOs and the motivations for using them in the PHP environment. A simple contact management scenario is used to illustrate key concepts.
