On the Ibuildings techPortal today they've posted the latest episode in their DPCRadio podcast series (as recorded at the Dutch PHP Conference 2010) - a talk from Rob Allen about working with Zend_Form (from the Zend Framework).

Zend_Form is a powerful component than can simplify form handling within your web application. Find out in this session how to make Zend_Form render and validate your form elements and ease the pain of forms on web pages.

We will look at configuration, data filters & validation and error handling. One particularly tricky area is the use of the decorator pattern to control the generated HTML when rendering the form. This session will therefore also take a detailed look at this especially powerful functionality and show how to ensure that your forms are rendered as desired.

To listen you can either use the in-page player or you can download the (rather large) mp3 to listen at your leisure. The slides for the talk can be found here.
