Zend Framework related information
Given the problems I had for the 1st Zend Framework website I did, I figured the next time I started one from scratch I would document how to get the autoloading working, since almost nowhere has it documented correctly. I forgot then too, so 3rd time lucky… The following code assumes the following: You have no model, controller or view directories at the root of application/ because they...

If you need to get access to the column names of a Zend_Db_Table object (filtering a list of column names so that you discard any that don't match up, for example) then as found on StackOverflow you can do the following:
$table->info(Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::COLS);
