The only fully supported Zend Framework 1 Composer on Github!

Zend Framework 1 for Composer

This is a maintained mirror of ZF1 for use with Packagist. You can find the original ZF1 readme in README.txt

Why maintain a mirror? Because we love Github & Composer - it's just a better experience than the official Subversion Repository.

Installation

To install, add the following to composer.json at the root of your project:

{
    "require": {
        "breerly/zf1": "1.11.*"
    }
}

Then download composer and install the dependencies.

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install

Using ZF Components standalone

Require the autoloader and you're good to go.

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
Zend_Debug::dump('it worked!');

Setting up an entire Zend Framework Project

Use ZF's cli to setup your project.

php vendor/bin/zf.php --help
php vendor/bin/zf.php create project . myproject

Now install vendors.

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install

You'll want to add the vendors folder to your .gitignore

echo vendors >> .gitignore

Then at the top of public/index.php require the autoloader.

<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
// ...

You're good to go!

Bonus: Optimizing Autoload

If you do not plan on using ZF's library convention for autoloading and instead plan on using Composer across the board, you should disable Zend_Loader_Autoloader by adding this line in public/index.php before the application is bootstrapped.

<?php
// ...
spl_autoload_unregister(array('Zend_Loader_Autoloader','autoload'));
$application->bootstrap()->run();
