Xampp and Zend Framework

Howdy all!

I'm trying to get Xampp and Zend Framework working together, but I can't quite get it to do so. I found an old topic from 2008, but that doesn't seam to help.

Xampp Version: 1.7.3
Zend Framework Version: 1.10.2

I have extracted the Zend zip into the Xampp folder, and edited the PHP.ini (hopefully correctly) but it doesn't work.

Here's the include path for the php.ini:
include_path = ".;\win\xampp\php\PEAR\;C:\win\xampp\ZendFramework-1.10.2\library\"

I'm trying to get into Zend for myself for a few projects that I want to do, it will also help with work too.

Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

Also could someone also provide some small snippet of code that I could test out?

Thanks all.

 

Please read on zend boot strap files deeply.
here is my boot stap file which works along with the index.php as shown

bootstrap.php

<?php

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{

protected function _initView()
{
// Initialize view
$view = new Zend_View();
$view->doctype('XHTML1_STRICT');
$view->headTitle('My Project');
$view->env = APPLICATION_ENV;

// Add it to the ViewRenderer
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('ViewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($view);

// Return it, so that it can be stored by the bootstrap
return $view;
}


}

?>
index.php
<?php
// Define path to application directory
defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
|| define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application'));

// Define application environment
defined('APPLICATION_ENV')
|| define('APPLICATION_ENV', (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') : 'production'));



// Ensure library/ is on include_path
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
get_include_path(),
)));

/** Zend_Application */
require_once 'Zend/Application.php';

// Create application, bootstrap, and run
$application = new Zend_Application(
APPLICATION_ENV,
APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
);

//print dirname(__FILE__) .'/../../application/controllers';

//$application->bootstrap()->start();
$application->bootstrap()->run();
