For a recent project I have had to calculate weight based shipping costs. Before I had this as a db table, but that became a mess to manage.

I’ve recently taken to using Zend Framework for a project that I needed to bring up to date. I won’t go into the pros and cons of choosing a framework as there are many much more qualified people who have done a much better job of this subject than I would or could. So Instead [...]
