Bye bye Zend and hello Rails

I decided to drop Zend over Rails in an existing project! And I’m not kidding you, I dumped Zend and PHPDoctrine, a couple of 100 lines of code (I’m guessing somewhere between 600 and 1000) and rewrote the entire app using Rails 2.3!

Zend and the use of $this

Had there been a limit to the amount of times the keyword $this could be called within an application, Zend would be hitting that limit constantly…

Zend Doctrine and PHPUnit

I’m currently working on a project where I want to use zend for MVC ‘n stuff, Doctrine for ORM and PHPUnit testing for … well unit testing.

MVC view handling

I’ve been hacking away on some Rails projects the last couple of weeks and at the same time playing around with CodeIgniter and Zend Framework. At this moment, I’m waiting for some feedback and thougth I would kill the time playing around with some Ajax/jSon in Rails.
