Zend Framework : Zend_Db

In this post i will tell you how to connect database in zend framework using Zend_Db.

After initiating the Zend framework project make a folder like this

Zend Project -> applicaiton -> models -> Db -> Db.php

we make a class name  ”Db_Db” and define a static method “conn()”

 

Code

class Db_Db
{	
	public static function conn()
	{
		try 
    	{
    		$pdoParams = array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES UTF8;');
    		
    		$connParams = array("host" => "localhost",
    		"port" => "PORT",
    		"username" => "DATABASE_USERNAME",
    		"password" => "DATABASE_PASSWORD",
    		"dbname" => "DATABASE_NAME",
    		"driver_options" => $pdoParams
    		);
    		
    		$db = new Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Mysql($connParams);
    		return $db;
    	}
    	catch (Zend_Db_Exception $err)
    	{
    		echo $err->getMessage();
    	}    	
	}
}

Vote for best PHP Framework

These days i am trying to shift myself from straight php coding to php mvc framework

when i searched for best php framework i found out there are alot of frameworks.

Right now i started reading about ZEND framework

Here is the list of frameworks you can vote on

PHP array_map()

Now with php array_map function you can apply a  function to all values in array on one go

here is an example

<?php
function cube($n)
{
return($n * $n * $n);
}

$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$b = array_map("cube", $a);
print_r($b);
?>

Result will be like this

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 8
    [2] => 27
    [3] => 64
    [4] => 125
)

Bug Tracing in PHP

After joining a software house “Ovrlod”  i got to learn many new things about programming and engineering stuff

The good thing is that i now usually start using try catch in my code which was missing in my past projects…or say now my code is more towards standards

Well sitting at my office desk i was thinking to start my own bug tracking system…currently on web there are many others too but too much complicated to implement
