Call me if you can.

I was born in a small town.
And that area is called "郡" which means country side of country sides.
But, one letter from my family tells me that I no longr am "郡民".
The return address on the letter shows "由布市" which used to be "大分郡".

What? what is this address? City?

Oh yes, the letter which I just saw means "City".
Yes, yes, yes, I'm a City boy!!

" C I T Y " Boy.

Guys! Call me "City boy !" as big voice as you can !!

Try Zend Framework vol.4 "Validate Date"

As you know, Zend Framework has a lot of fancy validators like Zend_Validte_Ccnum.
But, it comes to "Zend_Validate_Date", I have to be quiet, because it only allows "YYYY-mm-dd" format.
Date sometimes look like "YYYY/mm/dd" but the validator returns "false". :<

It's Okay. But it should be more flexible, isn't it?

Zend Framework has Date class which is pretty powerful to create date object, but it's also powerful as Date validator.
So I wrote a Date validator.

library/Hoge/Validate/Date.php

<php
require_once 'Zend/Validate/Abstract.php';
require_once 'Zend/Date.php';

class Hoge_Validate_Date extends Zend_Validate_Abstract
{

  /**
   * Invalid date error message.
   */
  const INVALID = 'dateInvalid';

  /**
   * Validation failure message template.
   *
   * @var array
   */
  protected $_messageTemplates = array(
      self::INVALID => "'%value%' does not appear to be a valid date"
  );

  /**
   * Defined by Zend_Validate_Interface
   *
   * Return if the date is correct.
   *
   * @param  string $value
   * @return boolean
   */
  public function isValid($value)
  { 

      $valueString = (string) $value;

      $this->_setValue($valueString);

      if (!Zend_Date::isDate($value)) {
          $this->_error(self::INVALID);
          return false;
      } 

      return true;
  } 

}

To use it
application/controller/HogeController.php

<php
function dateValidateAction()
{
  $date = '2004/02/29';

  require 'Hoge/Validate/Date.php';
  $validator = new Hoge_Validate_Date();
  echo $validator->isValid($date);
  exit;
}

Return "true".
It distinguish "/" and validate the Date correctly!! :p

Try Zend Framework vol.3 "Extends Zend_View_Helper_Select"

Zend Framwrok has some useful helpers.
One of them is "Zend_View_Helper_Select".
Using it, you may set arguments like this.

controller/views/scripts/hoge/index.phtml

<?= $this->formSelect('hoge', null, null, array(''=>'', 'foo'=>'foo', 'bar'=>'bar')) ?>

You may not want to set blank as the default of options.

So, I extends Zend_View_Helper_FormSelect and add an argument to set default options.
library/Hoge/View/Helper/FormSelect.php

<php
require_once 'Zend/View/Helper/FormSelect.php';

class Hoge_View_Helper_FormSelect extends Zend_View_Helper_FormSelect
{
public function formSelect($name, $value = null, $attribs = null,
 $options = null, $default_options = null, $listsep = "<br />\n")
  {
    $options = (is_array($default_options)) ? array_merge($default_options, $options) : $options;
    return parent::formSelect($name, $value, $attribs, $options, $listsep);
  }
}

It's just added argument for setting default options.
But, be careful it changes the number of arguments and changed order. :>

To use it.

<?= $this->formSelect('hoge', null, null, array('foo'=>'foo', 'bar'=>'bar'), array('' => '')) ?>

Simple right? :p

Try Zend Framework vol.2 "Debug Utils"

It's sometimes annoying to type "print_r" "get_class_methods".
"print_r" has 7 characters.
"get_class_methods" has 17 characters.
It just unbelievable!!
You might get hurt on your fingers.
And they just show the results as messy. It's not easy to read.

Zend Framework gives us a great class "Zend_Debug" for debugging.
It formats the result for you to read easily!

But, when you use the class you still need to type "Zend_Debug::dump()".
muu...18 characters. :<>

<php
require_once 'Zend/Debug.php';                                                                                                                                                     

function d($val)                                                                                                                                                                   
{                                                                                                                                                                                  
 Zend_Debug::dump($val);                                                                                                                                                       
}                                                                                                                                                                                 

function m($val)                                                                                                                                                                  
{                                                                                                                                                                                 
 Zend_Debug::dump(get_class_methods($val));                                                                                                                                    
}

It's just simple functions but gives you time to make coffee instead of typing a lot of long letter functions. Isn't it? :p
