Ok, this is a very general.
I am getting annoyed about all the strings I have to remember with the Zend
Framework.
Things like:
getValidator('Authorise')
Or form factory methods:
$username = $this->getElement('username')
->addValidator('alnum')
->setRequired(true)
->addFilter('StringTrim')
->addValidator('Authorise');
I am using eclipse PDT at the moment which provides good intellisense when code
is documented well enough,
but it is obviously not man enough to work out the possible strings a function
could take. C# family of languages solved this with enums.
When you are setting a parameter that is one of a list of pre defined values it
pops up a list of what it knows about.
For example when I type addFilter( i should get a list of all the filters i can
use). I am tempted to add enum classes and start registering things like this.
Another good example are view scripts I have to refer back to the controller
every time to work out what variables the view has access to. boo hoo hoo
Am I being too fussy? Have I been spoilt by strongly typed languages?
Ultimately you shouldn't solely rely on an IDE's interpretation but it saves
SOO much time especially when scooting from project to project then back again.
Does any one else out there share my pain? Have any work arounds / ideas?

Subject: [fw-general] Truncate String
Is there a simple way in ZF to truncate a string? I searched and didn't find
any talk of a ZF specific component for this. I also looked at the list of
standard filter classes and didn't see anything there either. I know there are
tons of possible ways to do this - I'm just surprised there isn't anything in
ZF yet so perhaps I'm just not looking in the right place.
Thanks,
Bradley
