trouble installing Zend framework on wamp server

I am having severe trouble installing Zend framework to my system and would really appreciate any advise given. i have followed all the recommended advise so far but still seem to get the following message from my windows powershell command when I type in zf:

*ZF Error **

In order to run the zf command, you need to ensure that Zend Framework is inside your include_path.

I followed the following steps:

  1. I installed Zend Libraries and bin in the following folders in my laptop ( windows 7): C:\wamp\bin\php this is the same bin folder that holds my PHP 5.43. The Zend is held in a folder called: zendframwork;

  2. I then went to my php.ini folder ( includes path- ) and inserted the following: include_path = ".;C:\wamp\bin\php\zendframwork"

  3. I then went to change my advanced windows settings: once there, I clicked onto Environment Variables, then to System variable where I double clicked on to paths line.

    in the paths line I included the path to the bin folder for the zend bin i.e.:

    zend_tool_include_path= C:\wamp\bin\php\zendframwork\library

  4. I then rebooted my systems and then went into windows powershell to test the installation. but it still seems unable to locate the library

Can somebody please tell me what I have done wrong?

In your php.ini shouldn't you have include_path = ".;C:\wamp\bin\php\zendframwork\library? – Rolando Isidoro
hi Rolando . i tried it with the 'library' at the end and also without the 'library' at the end. it made no difference. – andreea115

Correct the following, the Zend directory is typically in the library folder under zend framework.

I then went to my php.ini folder ( includes path- ) and inserted the following: include_path = ".;C:\wamp\bin\php\zendframwork\library"

I then went to change my advanced windows settings: once there, i clicked onto Environment Variables, then to System variable where i double clicked on to paths line.

in your environment variables you need to edit the variable named Path and append the path to the zf.bat file, typically found in your zend framework directory named bin, so you'll end up with a Path variable something like:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x64;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;D:\www\Zend Framework\bin;

I've never seen this variable (zend_tool_include_path) in any installation, so I don't know if you need it or not.

in the paths line i included the path to the bin folder for the zend bin ie: zend_tool_include_path= C:\wamp\bin\php\zendframwork\library

I'm not sure powershell is the answer, I use the CLI (type cmd at the run box) and just type zf show version at the command prompt to test if Zend_Tool is working.

I then rebooted my systems and then went into windows powershell to test the installation. but it still seems unable to locate the library
