2. About Me Jeremy Kendall PHP Developer since 2001 Organizer Memphis PHP Contributor to FRAPI project (getfrapi.com) [email_address] @JeremyKendall http://jeremykendall.net

3. What is the Zend Framework?

5. Version 2.0 is currently in the works (PHP 5.3)

6. License is based on new BSD license

7. Allows for rapid application development

8. Integrates well with other frameworks

9. Can be used “a la carte”

10. Excellent documentation

11. Getting Started . . .

12. . . . can be a real PITA.

14. How should I organize my project?

15. Didn't I fix this issue last time?

16. WORK, DAMMIT, WORK!

17. Zend Tool to the Rescue!

19. Creates an MVC project with a single command

20. Implements best practices

21. Can add additional controllers, views, modules

22. Extensible, configurable

24. Get Zend Tool up and running

25. Create a new Zend Framework Project

26. Create a virtual host

27. Celebrate victory!

29. PHP 5 (at least 5.2.4)

30. Apache with mod_rewrite

32. Install to directory named for the ZF version

33. My install directory is: ~/phplib/ZendFramework-1.10.6

36. Place ZF on include path

39. zf create project ZeroToZF

40. Done!

42. Use the example vhost from ZeroToZf/docs/README

43. cd into /etc/apache2/sites-available

44. gksudo gedit ZeroToZf.local

45. Copy vhost from README

46. sudo a2ensite ZeroToZf.local

48. Add 127.0.0.1 zerotozf.local

49. sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

50. Success?

51. http://zerotozf.local

53. Zend Tool does not include the framework in your new project

54. Copy ZendFramework-<ver>/library/Zend into ZeroToZf/library

55. Full path to Zend Log should be:

56. ZeroToZf/library/Zend/Log.php

57. http://zerotozf.local

58. Woohoo!

59. We now have a functional Zend Framework project . . .

60. . . . that does absolutely nothing.
