This entry concerns authorization. We previously covered how to authenticate an author to the blog, but we still have nothing ensuring only authenticated authors can access the new Administration Module.

In this entry I’ll unravel some of Zend_Form’s mysteries in adding a login form, before using Zend_Auth to implement [...]

Step 1: Creating a Database Schema The schema for our blog’s database will be aimed at MySQL. We’re only starting with two tables to hold entries and authors, which may appear a little suspicious. The suspicion of course is due to the lack of two elements: Authentication and Authorisation. We’ll cover both in Part 6 [...]

We need to install the Zend Framework, get a virtual domain running, and have a basic collection of directories and emtpy files created to hold our source code. You’ll need to download the Zend [...]

After speaking with any number of users about getting started with a framework, I find many do not have an advanced understanding of the corner stone of a current day web application framework: the Model-View-Controller Design Pattern. So let’s get over that hill right now, and before we start looking at PHP! As a bit [...]
