Zend Framework 1.6 RC1 with WSDL AutoDiscovery

Aug 12

Posted by Dharmavirsinh Jhala in Framework, PHP, Web Service | 2 Comments

Zend Framework's new release 1.6 is in it's RC1 stage now. It has got many exiting features, including one of the much waited WSDL auto-generation using Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover class. It will automatically generate WSDL based on your class definition based on PHP Documentation.

I am not sure why it is taking long with PHP to have WSDL auto-generation feature? May be loose typing..!

Anyway current implementation of Zend's WSDL generation with Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover doesn't seems to be perfect. It is having issues with Complex Type. Although you can manually generate WSDL with the help of Zend_Soap_Wsdl.

When I tried with AutoDiscovery feature results were surprising for Complex Type, behavior of generator was weired. Let's hope that Zend will fix issues with this great feature before their final release. Documentation is also in it's building stage and needs more examples and better compilation. Download Zend Framework from here, and try with tar.gz, it looks like zip is not working for me (more than once) with current compilation due to some reason.

Previously I have used WSDL generator class from jool.nl, it was quite handy and easy to configure and uses Reflections to generate WSDL from PHP Docs just like Zend Framework.

Top Open Source PHP Frameworks

Mar 22

Posted by Dharmavirsinh Jhala in Framework, PHP | 28 Comments

After RoR there are lot many frameworks in PHP which are either inspired by it or based on MVC pattern. Today I am throwing some light on some of it, which I came across (I mean heard) during my development experience in PHP. Here I am talking about next generation Open Source PHP frameworks which I came across.

Symfony: Now it is more then 2 year old project and seems to be quite complete in the sense of feature and documentation. Symfony has quite rich documentation and community support. Their development seems to be really active as I see many change-sets getting committed and bugs getting fixed every Monday. Today Symfony 1.0.12 is released and Symfony 1.1 is on the way to getting released. I have not tried any project with Symfony as of yet but have been keeping a close eye on their activity since long and now when 1.1 release is near thinking of start something with it. 1.1 version will come with quite a lot welcome changes and I am looking further to it. Fabien Potencier and his team gave great contribution to the PHP world by gifting Symfony framework.

Symfony is MVC architecture based PHP framework. It is more of less inspired by Majovi and Ruby on Rails. Symfony team is not trying to reinvent the wheel and framework uses many opensource components in their base. For beginners it is little difficult to begin with Symfony but great deal of documentation and 21 days of askeet tutorials will help them out really.

I believe Symfony is really enterprise level framework. It has great deal of documentation and The Book (Definitive guide to Symfony - Open source) Read the rest of this entry »
