On the Zend Developer Zone, there’s a new tutorial covering the use of the Zend_Acl and Zend_Auth modules in the Zend Framework to create a simple user login and authentication system from Simon Mundy.
After submitting the initial example of how Zend_Auth and Zend_Acl could be implemented Gavin pointed out areas that weren’t really addressed in my proof of concept and it could potentially confuse newcomers to the way MVC is utilised. I’d like to clarify that post to a) Address those concerns and b) see if there’s any constructive criticism of the process that could benefit everyone.
He sets up the site layout (including where the actions lie) and defines some of the access rules the script will follow. From there, he creates a bootstrap file and an index.php to work with it. On top of this, he builds the key piece - the Auth.php - to handle the validation of the users.

As reported by the International PHP Magazine website, the results of the latest TIOBE Programming Community Index are in for the month and PHP is on the rise.
PHP has moved back up to take its spot back at #4 with (Visual) Basic falling back down to #5. As the trends graph shows, PHP had a sharp spike back up to overtake VB starting with the new year. If it continues the climb, it could be back up to levels it was during the middle of last year.
The TIOBE Programming Community index gives an indication of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the worldwide availability of skilled engineers, courses and third party vendors.

Continuing on from an earlier discussion about the Zend Framework and form submission and handling, Alexander Netkachev has come back to talk a bit more about the Controller/Action approach.
