CodeIgniter #1

I have not done yet with ZendFramework, Now I am asked to learn CodeIgniter lol. What I think about CodeIgniter is, it is more friendly than ZendFramework haha... I am not sure tho, I found it was easier for me to understand it, I think it is because I have learn the structure of ZendFramework and learn about MVC on ZendFramework before CodeIgniter.

I wish to write more about CodeIgniter, but I have many things else to do... I wish I am not so busy.

Learning ZendFramework Part #2

My progress today for my first zend framework project is that, I have been able to set up ZF on netbeans lol. Its cool so far even tho I am still a bit confuse.

For the tutorial, I can not explain here yet, I am still busy with other stuff, but I am open for any question.

Learning ZendFramework Part #1

So, since the past 3 days I start to learn ZendFramework, and I stuck didn't know what to do how to make php.exe readable by ZF, and the error message appear is :

php.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

Thanks to a friend for helping me out, it works now! and below is the step to fix the issue:

1. go to ZendFramework directory /bin/zf.bat
2. Edit zf.bat and change the path on the line 42:
   - REM "%PHP_BIN%" -d safe_mode=Off -f "%ZF_SCRIPT%" -- %*
+ D:\server\php\php.exe -d safe_mode=Off -f "%ZF_SCRIPT%" -- %*

And of course the path would be depend on where you put your php folder. That is it!

I will update more about my Zend Framework project later.

Example of hook_comment & drupal_mail

Below is the example of drupal mail in the hook comment
function MODULENAME_comment(&$a1, $op){
    switch($op){
      case 'insert' :
        $nid = $a1['nid'];
        $node = node_load($nid);
        $account = user_load($node->uid);
 
        //Collect $params contents values to be used on hook_mail
        $params['commentator'] = $a1->name;
        $params['title'] = $node->title;
        $params['type'] = $node->type;
        $params['nid'] = $node->nid;
        $params['language'] = $account->language;
        $params['nodeauthor'] = $node->name;
        drupal_mail('MODULENAME', 'commentnotice', $account->mail, user_preferred_language($account), $params);    
    }
}

// define the drupal hook_mail
function MODULENAME_mail($key, &$message, $params){
  switch($key){
    case 'commentnotice' :
      $language = $message['language'];
      $message['subject'] = t('Notification from @site', array('@site' => variable_get('site_name', NULL)), $language);
      $message['body'] = t('Dear @username \n\n@commentator commented on your @type', array('@username' => $params['nodeauthor'], '@commentator' => $params['commentator'], '@type' => $params['type']), $language->language);
      break;

$message = privatemsg_unread_count();
$links = array();
if($friend_req >= 1){

$links[] = array('title' => $friend_req_count, 'href' => 'relationships/requests', 'attributes' => array('class' => 'friend-requests'));
$links[] = array('title' => $message_count, 'href' => 'messages', 'attributes' => array('class' => 'messages'));

$friend_req= $row->counts;
$message = privatemsg_unread_count();

$items = array();

if($friend_req >= 1){
    $friend_req_count = format_plural($friend_req, t('1 Friendship request'), t('@count Friendship requests'));
    $items[] = l($friend_req_count, 'relationships/requests', array('attributes' => array('class' => 'friend-requests')));
}

if($message >= 1){
