Question

I am new to zend framework and having very basic doubt.I have created one application which follows its own framework. I want to integrate this application with zend framework. whenever any request comes to zend framework, I want to forward same request to my application to do some operations and then give control back to zend framework. question is, is it good to include your own created external modules directly inside index.php or bootstrapper of zend framework or create a plugin for that ?

Answer 1

For best practice, I think you should use plugin.

However, there are cases when you want to bypass Zend Framework totally for performance. You could use your external module and exit before running the Controller.
