I would like to thank my wife; without her support and patience, this book would not have been possible. I would also like to thank Matthew Weier O'Phinney who has been instrumental in the success of the Zend Framework project as well as giving lots of time to the mailing lists, answering both mine and others questions. The rest of the Zend team for all their hard work while creating a great framework that I could write about. Rob Allen and Alex Mace for general help and support. The technical reviewers and the team at Packt for their hard work in getting everything together. Derek Au for his bug reports. Big thanks to my family, the Adkins family, Phil Dunsford, Martin Williams, Tom Hoddell, Sally Hoddell, the Allpay team, Francesca Oliveri, Lucy Hughes-Martin, and Rob Whittle; you all supported me in various ways.

He started his career as a web developer in college, learning PHP and Adobe Photoshop. He works with open source technologies—Zend Framework, Code Igniter, MySQL, and jQuery are some of the tools he has under his sleeve. He likes to keep it simple and believes that being mindful of best practices in software development can be more effective than adopting every latest technology. In his free time, he loves to work on personal projects using PHP, Javascript, and MySQL. He also does some freelance jobs and consulting from time to time. All in all, he is very passionate about what he does and is a big fan of open source software. Wenbert has worked for Lexmark Research and Development Corporation in Cebu. He develops in-house web-based applications using Apache, PHP, MySQL, and Linux. Some of his web applications are used in different geographc regions (USA, Europe, and Asia Pacic) by Lexmark employees, while other small but signicant ones are used locally by Lexmark Cebu employees. I would like to thank my family. My mother, Wenia, who is always very supportive and understanding. My brothers, Andrew, John, and Alberto. And my sister Jonina Mae. To my father, Luis, who passed away a few years ago and to God.
