I have updated my review to reflect those impressions somewhat. I am currently swamped with work (who isn't?), but hopefully after the next version release on Sunday I will have some time to put togather a post on AJAX integration through the framework. If you have specific questions, you are welcomed to post them here and I will take under consideration when I'm writing my next post. Hello Paul,

I have recently revisited Zend_Date as during some work on a Calendar module for Octabox, and have found it much improved since the last time I took a look at it (ZF v0.8.0). I have updated my review to reflect those impressions somewhat.

I am currently swamped with work (who isn’t?), but hopefully after the next version release on Sunday I will have some time to put togather a post on AJAX integration through the framework.

If you have specific questions, you are welcomed to post them here and I will take under consideration when I’m writing my next post.

I am reading around the zf as we are looking for a framework to adopt for our company and it seems like the professional choice. I am interested in your comments about zend_date as this is an area I was looking forward to being streamlined as I find the base php date functions a bit random. I seem to be finding a lot more about the theory of the zf than the practice so your article about combining AJAX would be very much appreciated. Eran I’d like to check it out ;)

I assume you might be talking about setting up the views in the controllers, but recent versions have taken steps to simplify that as well. From personal experience, the amount of complexity introduced into your web application using the MVC portion of the framework is directly proportional to your experience and skill with OO programming methodologies. I might be publishing a post in the near future on how to combine AJAX with the Zend Framework's MVC components, you might want to check it out when its published.

I'm looking into in now for a bigger project and it really looks amazing - I have never seen OO being done so good in PHP before. But I'm still not convinced on the Zend_View, it seems very complicated on pages requiring alot of different dynamic content. A really good review of the Zend Framework.
