What is the Zend Framework?
Zend Framework is a professional PHP package collection with over 570 million instals. It can be used to create online apps and services with PHP 5.6+ and delivers 100% object-oriented programming using a wide range of language capabilities.
Zend Framework works through Composer as a package dependency management, PHPUnit is used to test all packages, and Travis CI is used as a Continuous Integration service. Zend Framework also adheres to PHP-FIG standards and contains a PSR-7 implementation for HTTP message interfaces (as steered by Matthew Weier O’Phinney, Zend Framework project director).
What is Zend Framework 2 all about!?
Zend Framework 2 is an open source framework for creating online web applications and services with PHP 5.3+. Zend Framework 2 is written entirely in object-oriented code and makes advantage of the majority of PHP 5.3’s new features, including namespaces, late static binding, lambda functions, and closures.
Zend Framework 2 evolved from Zend Framework 1, a popular PHP framework with over 15 million downloads.
