 What is Framework ?

A software framework is a reusable design for a software system

(or subsystem).

A software framework may include support programs, code

libraries, a scripting language, or other software to help
develop and glue together the different components of a
software project. Various parts of the framework may be
exposed through an application programming interface
(API).

 What is Zend Framework ?

Open Source PHP Framework, based on MVC and

supported by Zend Technologies as PHP Company.

Until now, Zend Framework still developed and

maintained by the PHP community from all around
the world.

MVC = Separation between Model/Data, View (html)

and Controller /Application traffic
 Inside Zend Framework

1. Based on the latest PHP engine, version 5 for

simplicity and security
2. Open Source (BSD License, Free for development
and distribution)
3. Collection of Class Library and ready to use
4. Complete Documentation

 Benefit & Strong Point of Zend Framework

1. Ready to Use modules to access popular Web Services

2. Enterprise-grade Framework
3. Use Data Model PDO (PHP Data Object) for Database access
and easy switch to another database
4. More structured File, directory and coding for easy
maintenance
5. The framework consist of ‘Ready to Use’ modules. Why reinvent
the wheel ?

Current Zend Framework version is 1.5 and can be
