MVC and the Zend Framework
In this four-part article series, you'll learn about the model-view-controller (MVC) design architecture, why its use is a best practice when building web applications, and how using the Zend framework for PHP lets you make the most of this architecture. This article is excerpted from chapter 25 of the book Beginning PHP and Oracle: From Novice to Professional, written by W. Jason Gilmore and Bob Bryla (Apress; ISBN: 1590597702).

PHP: Rendering Web Pages Using the Composite View Design Pattern
Welcome to the conclusion of a five-part series on the Composite View design pattern. This article will focus on a way to make use of this design pattern when you're building dynamic web pages. It involves a simple two-step rendering process.
- As you probably know, one of the great commandments of good object-oriented programming says that whenever possible, Composition must be used over Inheritance, as the latter is an overrated way of reusing code. While its fair to admit that this principle should be used with due caution and, for obvi...

PHP: Creating Dynamic Web Pages with the Composite View Design Pattern
In this fourth part of a series, I demonstrate how to use all the composite view classes defined previously for generating a simple yet dynamic web page using a single rendering method. This example shows the real functionality of the Composite View pattern when it comes to rendering individual web page sections (partials) by using uncluttered, easy-to-follow client code.
- Sharing nearly the same logic as its counterpart Composite (at least at a basic level), Composite View is a clever design pattern that takes full advantage of the functionality provided by Composition to manipulate single and multiple elements of a user interface through the same set of methods. W...
