PHP Output Buffering

Some of the coolest functions available in PHP are the output buffering functions.  If you are reading this, you probably have some idea of how web php pages are delivered from the server to the client, but if you don’t, here is a quick recap:

  1. User requests any web page
  2. The web server receives and interprets the request
  3. The requested file is sent to the PHP processor
  4. PHP compiles and executes the combination of PHP and HTML sent to it
  5. The compiled information is sent back to the web server (the page may not be complete yet)
  6. Your browser downloads the page from the web server

Zend Framework WordPress Plugin

This plugin is used for autoloading the Zend Framework into WordPress.  For the plugin to work, you must download the Zend Framework (here), and place it on your webserver in the folder “wp-library” (you will have to create that folder). It will also autoload any other libraries you have placed in the “wp-library” folder.  These additional libraries must follow the same directory structure as the Zend Framework (see below).  The plugin uses the Zend Framework’s Zend_Loader to autoload Zend and any other libraries (so you do not have to “require” them explicitly).  To prevent autoloading classes defined by WordPress (and causing errors), the plugin searches the “wp-library” directory for other folders and only autoloads classes prefixed with the folder names it finds.  

You can download the plugin right here.
