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 directoryto your PHP `include_path`. To use components in the extras library, add the extras/librarydirectory 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 requirementsappendix for more detailed information:- http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/requirements.htmlDEVELOPMENT VERSIONS--------------------If you would like to preview enhancements or bug fixes that have not yet beenreleased, you can obtain the current development version of Zend Framework using oneof the following methods:* Using a git client. Zend Framework is open source software, andthe git repository used for its development is publicly available. Considerusing git to get Zend Framework if you already use git for your applicationdevelopment, want to contribute back to the framework, or need to upgrade yourframework version very often.Checking out a working copy is necessary if you would like to directly contributeto Zend Framework; a working copy can be updated any time with `git fetch &&git rebase origin/master`.A git submodules definition is highly convenient for developers already usinggit to manage their application working copies.The URL for the the Zend Framework 1.X git repository is:- https://github.com/zendframework/zf1For more information about git, please see the official website:- http://git-scm.com* Using Subversion. You may pin an svn:externals definition to our repository.For versions prior to 1.12.0, use the following URLs:- http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/branches/release-1.{minor version}- http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/tags/release-1.{minor version}.{maintenance version}- http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/extras/branches/release-1.{minor version}For versions 1.12.0 and on, use the following URLs:- https://github.com/zendframework/zf1/trunk (development version)- https://github.com/zendframework/zf1/tags/release-1.12.{maintenance version}- https://github.com/zendframework/zf1-extras/trunkFor more information on subversion, please visit the official website:- http://subversion.apache.org/CONFIGURING THE INCLUDE PATH----------------------------Once you have a copy of Zend Framework available, your application will need toaccess the framework classes. Though there are several ways to achieve this, yourPHP `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-pathInstructions on how to change PHP configuration directives can be found here:- http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.phpGETTING STARTED---------------A great place to get up-to-speed quickly is the Zend Framework QuickStart:- http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstartThe QuickStart covers some of the most commonly used components of ZF. SinceZend Framework is designed with a use-at-will architecture and components areloosely coupled, you can select and use only those components that are needed foryour project.
