Zend Framework

Zend Framework

Zend Framework (ZF) is an open source, object-oriented web application framework implemented in PHP 5 and licensed under the Open Source Initiative (OSI)-approved New BSD License.

Zend Framework is a use-at-will framework. There is no single development paradigm or pattern that all Zend Framework users must follow, although Zend Framework does provide components for the MVC, Table Data Gateway, and Row Data Gateway design patterns. Zend Framework provides individual components for many other common requirements in web application development.

Zend Framework requires PHP 5.2.4 or later since version 1.7.0. Previous versions required PHP 5.1.4 or later, although the ZF Programmer's Reference Guide strongly recommended PHP 5.2.3 or later for security and performance improvements included in these versions of PHP.
