Hi,

It seems you need a tutorial to start from scratch, I'd say.

Here are a couple of links that could interest you :

• Survive The Deep End! : a free electronic-book about ZF
  • It's still work in progress,
  • but the Chapter 4. Installing The Zend Framework is finished, and gives several way to use ZF
  • Don't forget to read to other chapters too, btw ;-)
• The official Quickstart

Those might be helpful, for you to start.

And here are some other resources :

• The official Reference Guide -- not quite perfect as a starting point, but contains the documentation of every classes ; you'll work with this one pretty often, I guess !
• A couple of screencasts (including one about Installing ZF)
  • There are also webinars, and a couple podcasts
• More advanced, there are interesting articles about ZF on devzone
• Of course, you can find books about ZF, too. For instance :
  • Beginning Zend Framework
  • Zend Framework in Action

i used this tutorial when i started to work with zf:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-php-zend1/

It's from 2006 but you should get the clue.

Have fun!

All you need to do is ensure that the Zend/lib directory from the framework download is in your include path.

That should work just as well on WAMP as it does anywhere else.

I haven't configured an IIS server in ages... but it's probably just as easy as a nicely crafted "ini_set('include_path",'..') in your bootstrap script.

Once you've got Zend/lib in your include path, you can include (or autoload) Zend things as needed.
