Thanks for your hard work to write this book.

I was writing a comment on your site when I discovered this errata page.

I, then, dicovered that the error I found in the book was already here, so… perfect!

But, after having read some comments here, I would like to say that’s really pity that the error I found is a more than one year error.

How is it possible to keep this error more than a year. It’s a @#@# pdf. It’s not that difficult to republish it!

I know you answered that question by saying:
“Republishing the PDF. I wish I could but that decision is not up to me, it’s up to the publisher.”..
So you can say to them from me they are really not pro (but stupid).

I understand easily that errors can happen. That’s normal. But one year errors!!
Damned. I already lost so many hours trying to understand why I can’t make this first stupid example to work.. pffff.. I checked everything from my server config, my browsers, my Zf installation..
It was just a ‘r’ instead of a ‘d’!

That’s not a good start with ZF.

an unexpected error occured.

#0 D:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.6\lib\Zend\Controller\Front.php(934): Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard->dispatch(Object(Zend_Controller_Request_Http), Object(Zend_Controller_Response_Http))
#1 D:\wamp\www\htdocs\www\index.php(21): Zend_Controller_Front->dispatch()
#2 {main}

when I remove the line “RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php”
the problem solves. I think it is required for other samples.
What should I do then?

If it needs to feel like an actual “correction”, maybe say it should be added to the php.ini settings to check on page 6 (below the allow_url_fopen setting).

This is my first exposure to ZF, so I’m giving it a fresh eye ;)

I’ve not yet tried setting up a project in ZSE and the directory structure in the book was current as of the time of publication. (As with anything on the web, beyond that single day, it’s a crap shoot) :)

That having been said, all the pathing in the sample application is being handled in the bootstrap:

$lib_paths = array();
$lib_paths[] = “c:/web/htdocs/application”;
$lib_paths[] = “c:/web/htdocs/lib”;

and

$frontController->setControllerDirectory(’c:/web/htdocs/application/controllers/’);
(That’s from example2, it was the one I had handy)
So if your issue is in the path, you should be able to resolve it by adjusting one of those options.

Feel free to drop me an email at cal at calevans.com or if you see me on AIM:VirtualCIO if you are still having issues.

p.s. yep, Amsterdam but that was thanks to friends like IBuildings. :)

I’m hitting the same problems CharlesH has reported. So, thanks for posting!

I am stuck at the same point CharlesH reported on February 23rd, 2008 at 7:53 pm re: posting to /index/post.

Cal, could you please help? I am using Zend Studio for Eclipse and the default ZF directory structure it creates, I would like to understand why this (submitting the form) is not resolving properly, and how to fix it…vs. manually creating the directory structure and losing that feature of ZSE in future projects.

Many thanks!

btw, Amsterdam?? Wow…I need to go publish a book

Ok, now that I’m back from my trip to Amsterdam, my goal is to test and fix all the sample code to work with 1.5. There may be issues with it. Let me take a look at it this weekend and I’ll post an update.

If you’re on a Mac, check out Skim. It’s a great PDF reader/annotator. You can copy in errata, highlight, strike out, etc…and it’s free.
