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 5.2.11 or later. Please see the system requirements +appendix for more detailed information: + +http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/requirements.html + +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 + + For more information about Subversion, please see the official website: + + http://subversion.tigris.org + +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: + +http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php + +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. |
