A few weeks ago I posted what turned out to be a rather popular compendium of productivity- and best practices-related PHP tutorials which I’ve published in recent years on Developer.com and PHPBuilder.com. As it happens I write about the Zend Framework with equal vigor, and figured readers might like to check out the list of Zend Framework tutorials I’ve written over the past two years for the aforementioned sites.
This compendium of sixteen recently published tutorials touches upon all manner of topics related to PHP-oriented best practices and productivity. In this list you’ll find tutorials introducing testing, debugging, advanced object-oriented features, code profiling, security, enforcing coding standards, and more.

It does take some time to get acquainted with using a command-line interface (CLI), particularly if you don’t regularly work with an operating system offering a robust CLI environment. However, after some practice you’ll be able to manage users, navigate your databases, and perform other tasks with incredible ease.
In light of PHP’s considerable expressive flexibility, how can you actively enforce a coding standard and prevent both yourself and your team members from reverting to bad habits? One great solution called PHP_CodeSniffer is (coincidentally) found in a PEAR package. PHP_CodeSniffer can not only parse PHP code to ensure it meets a particular coding standard but it can also examine your JavaScript and CSS files for potential standards violations.
