INSTALLATION
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Zend Framework requires no special installation steps. Simply download the framework,
|
||
|
|
extract it to the folder you would like to keep it in, and add the library directory
|
||
|
|
to your PHP include_path. To use components in the extras library, add the extras/library
|
||
|
|
directory to your PHP include_path, as well.
|
||
|
|
If you would like to use Zend_Tool, simply add bin/zf.bat (for Windows) or
|
||
|
|
bin/zf.sh (for anything else) to your system executable path.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
|
||
|
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Zend Framework requires PHP 5.2.4 or later. Please see the system requirements
|
||
|
|
appendix for more detailed information:

DEVELOPMENT VERSIONS
|
||
|
|
--------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you would like to preview enhancements or bug fixes that have not yet been
|
||
|
|
released, you can obtain the current development version of Zend Framework using one
|
||
|
|
of the following methods:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Download the latest nightly snapshot. For those who care to brave the cutting
|
||
|
|
(often bleeding) edge, the nightly snapshots represent the latest single-
|
||
|
|
download development version of Zend Framework development. Snapshots are bundled
|
||
|
|
with documentation in English only or in all available languages. If you anticipate
|
||
|
|
updating to the latest development version of Zend Framework often, consider using
|
||
|
|
Subversion as described below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://framework.zend.com/download/snapshot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Using a Subversion (SVN) client. Zend Framework is open source software, and
|
||
|
|
the Subversion repository used for its development is publicly available. Consider
|
||
|
|
using SVN to get Zend Framework if you already use SVN for your application
|
||
|
|
development, want to contribute back to the framework, or need to upgrade your
|
||
|
|
framework version very often.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Exporting is useful if you want to get a particular framework revision without the
|
||
|
|
.svn directories as created in a working copy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Checking out a working copy is necessary if you would like to directly contribute
|
||
|
|
to Zend Framework; a working copy can be updated any time with svn update.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An externals definition is highly convenient for developers already using SVN to
|
||
|
|
manage their application working copies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The URL for the trunk of the Zend Framework SVN repository is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/trunk
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

CONFIGURING THE INCLUDE PATH
|
||
|
|
----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you have a copy of Zend Framework available, your application will need to
|
||
|
|
access the framework classes. Though there are several ways to achieve this, your
|
||
|
|
PHP include_path needs to contain the path to the Zend Framework classes under the
|
||
|
|
/library directory in this distribution. You can find out more about the PHP
|
||
|
|
include_path configuration directive here:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.include-path
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instructions on how to change PHP configuration directives can be found here:

GETTING STARTED
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A great place to get up-to-speed quickly is the Zend Framework QuickStart:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstart
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The QuickStart covers some of the most commonly used components of ZF. Since
|
||
|
|
Zend Framework is designed with a use-at-will architecture and components are
|
||
|
|
loosely coupled, you can select and use only those components that are needed for
|
||
|
|
your project.
