Ralph Schindler’s Blog: Dynamic Assertions for Zend_Acl in ZF

Ralph Schindler, Zend Framewor Contributor, writes on his blog about how to use dynamic assertions with Zend_Acl, access control list component.

In Zend Framework 1.9.1, Zend_Acl gets two major issues resolved and a simple API change that now make it possible to create a more robust, more expressive ACL definition with less code. ZF issues ZF-1721 and ZF-1722, each nearly two years old, have both been solved. [...] In this article, we’ll explore the API changes that alleviate these two problems, and we’ll demonstrate how to leverage the Zend_Acl assertion system to create expressive, dynamic assertions that work with your applications models.
