Getting Started with Zend Framework 1.8 and 1.9
This tutorial is intended to give an introduction to using Zend Framework to write a simple database driven application. It has been extensively rewritten for version 1.8 of the framework and takes full advantage of the Zend_Tool command line script and Zend_Application for bootstrapping. Other components used include Zend_Controller, Zend_View, Zend_Db_Table and Zend_Form.
This tutorial has been tested on versions 1.8 and 1.9 of Zend Framework. It will not work on any version prior to version 1.8.
If you are deploying to a “user” site (e.g. http://localhost/~rob), then you need a RewriteBase line in your .htaccess file that looks something like: RewriteBase /~rob/zf-tutorial/public/.

Once you have finished this tutorial, consider buying my book, Zend Framework in Action. Also, the Quick Start is worth reading.
