[TYPO3-ect] Zend style extensions scheme

[Elmar Hinz]

Hello typoniks,

my thanks to David for hinting to the Zend Framework and the excellent
article of Chris Shiflett. Please read it.

Yesterday evening Jan-Hendrik and me were discussing a roadmap with
the first step to provide a pi_base free example. This article gives a
very clear guidance how to do this.

If we would put the Zend library into an extension the manager would
complain of errors. But PHP-Unit of Robert Lemke and ADOdb of Karsten
Dambekalns share this problem. On the long run we need to implement
the PEAR Package Scheme, because it is the PHP standard.

Already without using the Zend library we can make use of a lot of
ideas. The implementation of the MVC pattern is straight forward. I
like to provide a pi_base extension that does this.

To give a first impression of a zend stylish extension I post the
planned file structure for you:


// Plugins:

class.tx_articles_singleView.php
class.tx_articles_searchList.php

// Models:

models/class.tx_articles_models_searchQuery.php
models/class.tx_articles_models_singleQuery.php

// Views:
