Under Construction
A few months ago, I wrote an article about how to implement an “under maintenance” plugin using Zend Framework plugins. This plugin allows you to easily redirect users of your website to an “under maintenance” in case of a planned downtime. Simply set a flag in your application.ini and that’s it. In this post we will extend this plugin.

It’s finally done. The project that I’ve been working on during the last couple of months is online. Basically, Scoops is a Semantic Web application that enables you to… well, maybe it’s easier if you simply have a look at it ;-).
Some technical notes: the project has been implemented using Zend Framework on the server-side and jQuery on the client-side. The backend (the process that crawls the web, analyzes & organizes text, and calculates a relevance for each user) uses dozens of free or commercial web services.

Žilvinas Šaltys has written a very nice article about how to extend the default Zend Framework Error Controller
The main disadvantage of the default error controller is that it does not notify developers of the errors that occurred and instead silently logs them. Many enterprise web applications will find this unacceptable and will try to implement their means of solving the issue. In this post I’ll try to show how a more advanced Zend Framework error controller could be implemented to help developers tackle errors quickly.

ZIDS (the Zend Framework Intruder Detection System) is a ZF plugin I released a few weeks ago which uses PHP-IDS and enables you to detect attacks against your website and to deal with such attacks, e.g. by logging the attack, by sending an email to the admin, etc.
Today, ZIDS has been mentioned on the official PHP-IDS blog:
ZIDS: an easy to install and use PHPIDS implementation by Christian Koncilia. It ships with a very good manual and clearly is one of the best and most well done PHPIDS ports ever written. If you use the Zend Framework make sure you check out the ZIDS
So, if you are using Zend Framework and if you want to make your web applications more secure, I would be happy if you download and use ZIDS.
