thanks for this article, I was able to adapt it quite quickly to my codebase. I also enjoy the aforementioned book, although I started it, I ended up taking a step back to get some more fundamentals under my belt first and now am just coming back to zend framework. I would reccommend to anyone starting out with a php from novice to professional type book, then going to something for zend framework.

Hi Pravin, That error means that the Zend folder is not in your include path. so the line: require_once 'Zend/Loader.php'; fails as the Loader.php file is not found. Make sure the Zend folder is in your include path. The bootstrap.php file attempts to include the Zend folder in the include path with the lines:


// Set our include path
$include_path = get_include_path().PATH_SEPARATOR;
$include_path .= SITE_ROOT.'/application/lib'.PATH_SEPARATOR;
$include_path .= SITE_ROOT.'/application/models'.PATH_SEPARATOR;
$include_path .= SITE_ROOT.'/application/include'.PATH_SEPARATOR;
set_include_path($include_path);

however for the lines above to work the SITE_ROOT defined variable must be correctly set, which means that in your case this: dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) should return the following: C:\wamp\www\zend but in your case is returning: C:\wamp\ So to make it work correctly you have the following options: 1) change your "DocumentRoot" in your apache configuration file, or VirtualHost block to point to C:\wamp\www\zend\htdocs so it should be DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/zend/htdocs or 2) change this line in the bootstrap.php file, from: define("SITE_ROOT", dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])); to define("SITE_ROOT", "C:/wamp/www/zend"); hope it helps andrea

Great tutorial!

I have a couple questions tho. I currently have a site running on smarty, but the way I use it, well it’s different. I like it tho. I’ve been trying to modify your code to get it to work but not sure if i can. Not to experienced with Zend so here it goes.

I want to have a wrapper file that gets included on every action. Now, I have a tag in the wrapper called {$body}. This tag gets replaced by the file that the current template is associated with. So for example I would like to have this done….

http://www.example.com/members/view

I would like the wrapper to be included but the file in the /views/default/members/view.tpl be included in as an {include file=???}

Is there a way I can do this? Still reading up on Zend so please bare with me.

Hi Rej,
Pear and ZF are totally compatible, (as they both use the same name convention) in fact using ZF autoload:
require_once "Zend/Loader.php"; Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();
you will be able to use pear classes without requiring or including them, just make sure the pear directory is in your php classpath.
hope it help.
