Zend Framework 3 Now Available

The Greatest Framework Since ZF 1

Zend Framework 3 Logo
After 17 months of effort, hundreds of releases, tens of thousands of commits by hundreds of contributors, and millions of installs, Zend finally announced the immediate availability of Zend Framework 3.

Increased Performance

According to Zend, the performance increase is ~ 4x on PHP 5, and even greater performance on PHP 7 - which is now fully supported - compared to previous version of Zend Framework. Naturally, they claim that they have improved documentation.

Ships with a Micro-Framework

The Zend Framework 3 also included a number of new features, primarily around PSR-7 (HTTP Message interfaces) support. These include:
  • Diactoros: the original and leading PSR-7 implementation in the PHP ecosystem.
  • Stratigility: a PSR-7 middleware foundation based on the node.js Sencha Connect
  • Expressive: a PSR-7 middleware microframework

If you are already familiar with our MVC, or want to get started with it, we have created a new version of the Zend Framework 3 Skeleton Application that ships with minimal dependencies, and provides a number of convenience features including the ability to select optional packages at installation, as well as auto-register components and modules when adding them to your application.

Head over to the Zend Framework 3 tutorials site to get your hands dirty with ZF3.

Stubbing and Mocking Static Methods with PHPUnit

Image
PHPUnit has ability to stub and mock static methods. Consider the class Foo : <?php class Foo { public static function doSomething() { return static::helper(); } public static function helper() { return 'foo'; } } ?> To test the static helper() function with PHPUnit, you can write you test like that: <?php class FooTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase { public function testDoSomething() { $class = $this->getMockClass( 'Foo', /* name of class to mock */ array('helper') /* list of methods to mock */ ); $class::staticExpects($this->any()) ->method('helper') ->will($this->returnValue('bar')); $this->assertEquals( 'bar', $class::doSomething() ); } } ?> The new staticExpects() method works similar to the non-static expects...

MongoDB: Remove an Arbiter From a Replica Set

Image
Removing an arbiter from MongoDB Replica Set can be quite tricky, and official MongoDB documentation does not say it directly how to do it. I assume that you have auth enabled (just like I have), so lets start with connecting to your ReplicaSet "repl" master as an administrator: mongo mongo.domain.com/admin -u admin -p pass You will see the following prompt: repl:PRIMARY> Type in conf=rs.conf() repl:PRIMARY> conf = rs.conf() { "_id" : "repl", "version" : 8, "members" : [ { "_id" : 0, "host" : "mongo.server.com:27017", "priority" : 2 }, { "_id" : 1, "host" : "mongo1.server.com:27017" }, { "_id" : 2, "host" : "arbiter.server.com:27017", "arbiterOnly" : true }, { "_id" : 3, "host" : "mongo2.server.com:27017" } ] } Now lets adjus...

Enable HTTP/2 Support in AWS ELB

Image
This thread  was started more than a year ago, asking for when Amazon Web Services will add support for HTTP/2  into their ELB. In addition to that, people are also asking, how to configure ELB to support multiple SSL certificates. AWS support team has been reluctant on giving out any specific details on when both of these features will be available, citing: I've verified that the ELB team is aware of the interest in ELB supporting HTTP/2. Please keep an eye on What's New from Amazon Web Services: http://aws.amazon.com/new/ for any updates. What is HTTP/2? HTTP/2 is a replacement for how HTTP is expressed “on the wire.” It is not a ground-up rewrite of the protocol; HTTP methods, status codes and semantics are the same, and it should be possible to use the same APIs as HTTP/1.x (possibly with some small additions) to represent the protocol. HTTP/2 protocol is supported by major modern browsers including IE11, Edge 13, Firefox 47, Chrome 52, Safari 9.1, Opera 38, ...
