http://zendgeek.blogspot.com/2009/07/creating-nice-dojo-form-in-zend.html

Well, after writing few separate article about Zend Framework and dojo, I feel that I’d need to write a complete Zend_Dojo_Form. So here I am with complete example.

I am going to explain everything step by step.

1. Download Zend Framework latest version

Download least stable version from http://www.zend.com. Copy external/dojo to js/.

Hopefully you will create your directory structure as

html_root

/application

/controllers

DojoController.php

/models

/forms

CustomDojoForm.php

/views

/scripts

/dojo

index.phtml

/libaray

/Zend

/public

/js

/dojo

/css

/images

/bootstrap.php

/index.phtm

It’s not compulsory to create the similar directory structure I have created, this can vary. For best practice read Zend Quick start from Zend Framework documentation.

2. Enable dojo in the bootstrap file

I am not going to discuss everything you will need to have in your bootstrap file. I am explaining only the line of code needed to enable dojo.
