Enable delayed messages in Zend_Queue

The default Zend_Queue DB implementation unfortunately does not allow you to pass a timeout value when saving a message on the queue. However not all is lost and you can easily extend the standard Zend classes to add that functionality.

All you need is your own Db adapter and Queue class.

For the adapter you only need to overwrite the send() function. The highlighted code below is the only change to the original class (2 lines affected…). You could actually apply this without extending Zend_Queue, but this way will be easier if you ever need to update your Zend library.

<?php

class TS_Queue_Adapter_Db extends Zend_Queue_Adapter_Db {

    /**
     * Send a message to the queue
     *
     * @param  string     $message Message to send to the active queue
     * @param  Zend_Queue $queue
     * @param  Timestamp $timeout
     * @return Zend_Queue_Message
     * @throws Zend_Queue_Exception - database error
     */
    public function send($message, Zend_Queue $queue = null, $timeout = null){
        if ($this->_messageRow === null) {
            $this->_messageRow = $this->_messageTable->createRow();
        }

        if ($queue === null) {
            $queue = $this->_queue;
        }

        if (is_scalar($message)) {
            $message = (string) $message;
        }
        if (is_string($message)) {
            $message = trim($message);
        }

        if (!$this->isExists($queue->getName())) {
            require_once 'Zend/Queue/Exception.php';
            throw new Zend_Queue_Exception('Queue does not exist:' . $queue->getName());
        }

        $msg = clone $this->_messageRow;
        $msg->queue_id = $this->getQueueId($queue->getName());
        $msg->created = time();
        $msg->body = $message;
        $msg->md5 = md5($message);
        $msg->timeout = $timeout;

        try {
            $msg->save();
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            require_once 'Zend/Queue/Exception.php';
            throw new Zend_Queue_Exception($e->getMessage(), $e->getCode(), $e);
        }

        $options = array(
            'queue' => $queue,
            'data' => $msg->toArray(),
        );

        $classname = $queue->getMessageClass();
        if (!class_exists($classname)) {
            require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
            Zend_Loader::loadClass($classname);
        }
        return new $classname($options);
    }
}

Your Queue class only needs to extend the send() function again to allow you to pass the timeout through. obviously you can use this class to add other functionality too.

<?php

class TS_Queue extends Zend_Queue {

	/**
	 * Send a message to the queue
	 *
	 * @param  mixed $message message
	 * @return Zend_Queue_Message
	 * @throws Zend_Queue_Exception
	 */
	public function send($message, $timeout = null){
		return $this->getAdapter()->send($message, null, $timeout);
	}
}

Zend Application Resource Plugin Loading Issues

Admittedly thinking while feeling feverish is slightly impaired, but it took me a little while to figure this one out… Trying to integrate ZF 1.11 with Doctrine2 to as per this article, I was trying to be a smart-ass and use TS_Resource_EntityManager instead of the ugly looking TS_Resource_Entitymanager.

Unfortunately all this got me was this very unhelpful error:

Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Exception with message Resource
matching "entityManager" not found

It turns out that although the case of the resource name in the application.ini dosn’t really matter the class name does not like mixed case. So had to settle with TS_Resource_Entitymanager as the plugin name.

PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW is null

Ok, so you’re trying to setup password protection on your website using HTTP authentication. Unfortunately despite the request for password working your authentication keeps failing. If you check the output of your script and the password and username variables are not populated as expected it will usually be for one of two reasons.

Working code example


$username = "expectedUsername";
$password = "expectedPassword";

if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) || $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] != $username || $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != $password) {
  header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=""');
  header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
  echo '>h2>Authorization failed.>/h2>';
  exit;
} else if($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] != $username & $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != $password){
  echo '>h2>Authorization failed.>/h2>';
  exit;
}

Most common reason for failure

Firstly if you are using an older book or website as reference you will see $PHP_AUTH_USER mentioned instead of $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']. If you are using the former then this could be the reason for not seeing your variables populated.

The reason that can take you by surprise

If your code is correct (compare against the example) and you are using the $_SERVER variable format and still getting NULL inside both $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] it’s time to check your server settings.

HTTP authentication does not work with the cgi version of PHP, so if your hosting allows you will need to switch to PHP as Apache module or look for an alternative solution.

Multiple changes and a delete on same object in doctrine

If you want to make several different changes to a doctrine record object you might find yourself slightly puzzled when it comes to deleting related objects.

$user['Address']->delete();
$user['Address']->state(Doctrine_Record::STATE_LOCKED);
(...)
$user->save();

It seems that unless you set the state the save later on still sees an initialized (though empty!) relation.

Zend_Date time part and GMT

If you live in the UK you might have a surprise waiting in store for you if you use Zend_Date for the time part only. For a while I even thought this was a bug, however digging deeper has shown that actually it’s Zend_Date that is right, in a way at least.

When setting a time before 1972 – this is 1970 and 1971 the time part will not be shifted in the UK locale as DST was only introduced in 1972!

This means if you are only calculating times and need the appropriate time adjustment you will need to set a date as no date part in Zend_Date means 1st Jan 1970.
