On the ProDevTips.com website, there's a new tutorial (part one of a series) that walks the developer through the integration of the Zend Framework, some Ajax functionality and Smarty to create a feed reader.   In this series I will walk you through the code of a site that uses only Ajax and Scriptaculous to handle it's completely windowed interface. Making an interface like this is not really good design, it's only done here for the sake of teaching. It is kinda cool though. Especially if you have a big screen.   The source code is available for download and having it makes the installation and setup of the system much simpler. With it, you're only about fifteen steps away from getting the application up and running.

In the release notes, there's mention of several bugs with Internet Explorer implementations and some yet unsolved problems (IE memory leaks and table support in Konqueror).

DevShed finishes up their series looking at making a search engine with the Yahoo! web services in PHP5 in this last look at using the functionality they've created so far to make a more improved search.   This last installment of the series will be entirely focused on demonstrating how Inheritance can be used in a helpful way to build a set of child classes that will come in handy for consuming a specific Yahoo! Search Service.   They show how to use their current image search functionality and, with a few modifications, make a base class that can be used to support ech of the other search types (web, image, video) with common functionality and settings.

Jared White has posted another Willowgarden highlight to his blog today, this time with a focus on the processing of form input.   In the bad old days of processing forms and saving each field to a column in a database row, you'd have to do a lot of manual gruntwork: accessing each field from the $_POST superglobal, checking the values, constructing the SQL query, connecting to the database and executing the query, and so forth. Wouldn't it be great if you could just import the form right into an object, and let it do the validation and the database saving based on just a few simple rules? Let's take a quick look at how that might work.   He shows how to make an instance of the WFFormCreator class in a simple script and add actions to it to handle the successful submission and the errors that might come up.

Our sister site, AjaxDeveloper.org has a new post today with a request from Joshua Eichorn, the developer of the HTML_AJAX PEAR package for success stories.    If you've used HTML_AJAX to make something cool I'd like to hear from you.  If what you've created is publically accessible that would be even better.  Just leave a comment on this post saying what you've created and given a link to it if you can. Any suggestions on improvements that would make further development easier are also appreciated.     With the HTML_AJAX package being as well-developed as it is, I'm sure that there are more than a few out there using it - so get on over and submit your story today!

Both Google Maps and Windows Live Local have &#8220;click to call&#8221; (not yet PPCall) embedded now in their products. And several Internet yellow pages are using it. But there&#8217;s some debate and confusion about whether it&#8217;s a truly meaningful feature. Not surprisingly, eStara (a click to call vendor), has put out a press release showing [...]
