Zend Framework - The Big Q&A
Monday, April 28th, 2008It has been almost a year since the 1.0 release of Zend Framework. In that time we’ve seen some of the most trafficked sites in the world deployed on ZF, many popular enterprise-oriented projects built with ZF, and some of the greatest times ever had (while coding) using ZF.

display directly in the view in order to keep it clean and easy to read?
In Zend Framework, the answer is to use View Helpers.
