Had a bit of fun trying to work it out why any page any link on my website suddenly had stopped working. Doesn’t matter where I click, doesn’t matter what I’m putting into address field in my browser – it shows content of the home page. Website wasn’t broken(always a good thing), Apache error log empty. No changes in last couple of weeks. Weird!
After spending a couple beer pints of time, I’ve found that people at 1and1 have changed something on their side without letting me know…
To be able to have URLs I want… Ok, not that I care about URL’s much, to make search engines happy mostly 
I’m using this trick for custom URL’s with Zend Framework And the reason why it stopped working is that 1and1 is not giving you $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] any more it just doesn’t exists any more. Had to use other members of $_SERVER
Great

I though I’ll share with other geeks and recommend a great Zend Framework book. In fact it was my first book about Zend Framework and I can say that it’s great.
Zend Framework in Action
The book is well structured, illustrated with easy to understand examples. It takes you through the process of “growing” application.
If you are good at PHP and OOP and want to learn about Zend Framework – I highly recommend it. If you new to PHP and want to learn Zend Framework… it’s still a great choice, but I’d recommend “PHP Objects, Patterns, & Practice 2nd Edition” by Matt Zandstra first. And yes, second comma is on the book cover… English isn’t my first or even second language. I’d say it’s more my third language but I still noticed… Did the person who approved this book for print had a hangover at the time? Anyway the book is great.
You can buy both books with free delivery from the book depository:
Zend Framework in Action
PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice
