Listen, I know you're frustrated, but that's no reason to spin unfounded conspiracy theories. The fact is, ZF2 is still in fairly early stages of development, and the MVC is changing every other week or so in some way or another. Ralph is currently working on a proposal to make the DI/Service Locator story simpler and easier to explain, which should help a fair bit. Additionally, there's a lot of discussion happening on IRC and between contributors to identify what works, what doesn't, and how to tell a consistent and relatively simple story around the MVC. Once we get some of these details ironed out, yes, I think a diagram/flow chart is a great idea, to better show the various stages of an application and how the parts interact. > I've managed to get the ZF injecting stuff into the database and I think the > best place to find your answer is in the Akrabat ZF2 tutorial > (http://akrabat.com/getting-started-with-zend-framework-2/) That's definitely a good one. BTW, I collected a number of resources in a bit.ly bundle: http://bit.ly/rzOOge If you come across other resources, let me know, and I'll add them to that list. > He basically declares the DB config, passes that to an adapter, passes the > adapter to a table and then pass the table to the model or so... codes in > there anyway. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | [email protected] Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc -- List: [email protected] Info: http://framework.zend.com/archives Unsubscribe: [email protected]
