After a long pause, I'm back with new tutorials, about Zend Framework.
Who This Tutorial Is For,
These tutorials are for PHP programmers who have at least some experience working with object-oriented programming. It would help to have some familiarity with Zend Framework, but you'll learn a lot about the framework over the course of tutorials.
Prerequisites,
To follow along with the examples, you will need a computer on which you can install a local testing zend server. I've used Fedora Linux server. Use NetBeans as IDE or any other editor you like.
Why Zend Framework ?
The Zend Framework is really a hybrid framework and as such can be used in a much larger range of projects than strict “application frameworks”. While many components in Zend Framework can be used stand-alone like a component library; it is, at its core an implementation of the “Model-View-Controller” (MVC) pattern.
In a nutshell, the Zend Framework introduces a standardized set of components that allow for easy development of web applications. These applications can be easily developed, maintained and enhanced.
The key features of the Zend Framework are:
- Everything in the box
- Modern design
- Easy to learn
- Full documentation
- Simpler Development
- Rapid development
The Zend framework can be divided into 10 main modules.
How Zend MVC works ?
In this figure, I've shown that, how MVC structure is working for site to make it meaningful.
