Since Zend Framework is very popular, so I decided to install it in my local server to use it. Install Zend Framework is similarly like your install another PHP Framework.
1) go to here download the sample programmer, below is the link
https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication
2)Unzip to your local hosting my is C:\ xampp \ htdocs and rename ZendSkeletonApplication
3)go to below link to download the latest version, I just download Zend Framework 2.2.5 Full
http://framework.zend.com/downloads/latest
4)unzip it and put it under the vendor file
the path in my computer is like this:
C:\xampp\htdocs\ZendSkeletonApplication\vendor\ZF2
The direction should look like this:
4) Now we need to binding domain
go to here:C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
use notePad to open the file:hosts
Add two line below it:(you actually could change to another name you like it,since this use Zend Framework version 2 and under local host ,so I just named like this for easy remember it).
127.0.0.1 zf2.local
127.0.0.1 http://www.zf2.local
Now,you could access http://zf2.local testing has become effective.
5)Edit the Apache configuration file,I just go to C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra , use notePad open httpd-vhosts.conf
Add this to it:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot “C:\xampp\htdocs”
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName zf2.local
ServerAlias http://www.zf2.local
DocumentRoot “C:\xampp\htdocs\ZendSkeletonApplication\public”
</VirtualHost>
restart the Apache service. In the browser to re-visit http://zf2.local can open ZendSkeletonApplication test program.
Now you could start programming now.
Here have some option set,not necessary.
1) Adjust the level of error messages,go to C:\ xampp \ php \ php.ini
a)change this error_reporting=E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT to error_reporting=E_ALL & ~E_STRICT
b)PHP by default is use short_open_tag=off, now you could change to short_open_tag = On
c) write 2 lines below the finle
extension= php_intl.dll
extension= php_openssl.dll
