zend framework installation on xampp

Question

I am completely begginer with ZEND FRAMEWORK. I tried to install but was getting some error.

As I go with the zf@1 version installation.

1. I extracted my folder to the path. C:\xampp\php naming it as zendframework.
2. I edited my php.ini file's include_path as include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR;C:\xampp\php\zendframework\library"
3. Restarted Server.
4. Run cmd with path C:\xampp\php\ (where my exact zf.bat files)

5. Running command zf show version ended with zf error that my zend framework should be in include path.

   • Is issue is resolved my next command zf create project zend_blog is correct?
   • How to create project with zf1 and zf 2 ?

Answer 2

it has nothing to do with XAMPP. Something is not configured right or not correct privileges.

See these:

• Setting up the CLI tool on Windows
• Also, see this thread
• You can also consider using NetBeans IDE, it has great support for ZF tool. Check it out this tutorial.

Answer 3

you need to put the zend framework path and the php.exe path into your windows path variable in order to run commands from the command line. This is important in ZF1 so that Zend_Tool will work at the command line or in Netbeans or other Ide's.
