Hello friends now we are going to discuss on Zend framework,
it also known as zf. This is a A to Z step by step articles on zend .this is
first one so here cover on the following three basics.
- 1. What is a frame work and why they need?
- 2. Installing zend framework.
- 3. First zend program.
What is a frame work and why they
need?
Zend Framework (ZF) is
a framework for PHP 5 and it is based on object-oriented paradigm. It is an open-source
framework under the BSD License. The idea of ZF was conceptualized
in the early 2005, and it was publicly announced in October 2005 at the first
Zend Conference.
Like other PHP stack zend provides a PHP stack called zend server
and also zend provides a IDE for ZF.
Requirements:
To run Zend 1.7.0 we need PHP 5.2.4 or latter .ZF‘s programmer’s reference
says strictly 5.2.3 due to some security reasons, for unit testing it need PHP
Unit 3.0 or latter
Zend framework of PHP is basically works on MVC architecture MVC
stands for Model View and Controller.
· Model : The
model part deals with the part which is concerned with the specification of the
data to be displayed Business logic part of the program is handled by
this part which involves activities like load and save to databases
·
View: Responsibility
of this part is to display the content of the application to the user. Usually
this section contains the HTML part
·
Controller: This
part combines together the specifics of model and view section and gives the
assurance of displaying correct data
Installing zend framework. (with
xampp )
Now we are going to install ZF framework on our local computer,
initially we need to download the zend frame work from http://framework.zend.com/download.
Unzip the folder into host c:\xampp\htdocs
Now you want to go command prompt (WIN key + R=Run,
Window=> type cmd and press enter key). Type zf show version and press
enter, it should display like this.
If it works your path variables are working perfect. After
that we need create a directory stretcher that helps to reduce our work load
and improve readability.
.
go to C:\xampp\htdocs\myfirstproject\application\views\scripts\index
folder and in the index.phtml and change the existing code
with the following:
Now type http://localhost/myfirstproject/public/ in the
address bar of the browser and press return key, the output in the browser
should be like this:
<?php echo "<center><b>Hello World</b></center>"; ?>
save it and reload page output will as follows
In the next applications we will learn a how connect DB using Zend. plz read some other articles and give some reviews about my personal programming blog.
