Creating Filler Content with Zend Framework

Need filler content for your Zend Framework (ZF) application? Most clients never give the developer copy up front so it’s always hard show what the site is to look like without some random text. At the beginning of a new application when you are mocking up the html and layout, I like to use static views. I basically create a full static site with Lorem Ipsum content. I hated copying text over and over so I decided to create a quick view helper that will generate the content for you on the fly. You can find the view helper on github. Currently there are four different ways to generate the filler content.

  1. Paragraphs
  2. Words
  3. Bytes
  4. and Lists

You can find more information on optional parameters and how to use the view helper at github.
