Question

I can’t figure out how to run zf.php (Zend Framework 2 Tool) when bootstrapped with composer.

First I bootstrap composer and zftool according to the documentation:

$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp
$ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ ./composer.phar require zendframework/zftool:dev-master

This works fine so far.

But when I try to run zf.php, I get errors:

$ vendor/zendframework/zftool/zf.php 
PHP Warning:  require_once(/Users/seb/tmp/vendor/zendframework/zftool/vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/seb/tmp/vendor/zendframework/zftool/zf.php on line 13

Warning: require_once(/Users/seb/tmp/vendor/zendframework/zftool/vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/seb/tmp/vendor/zendframework/zftool/zf.php on line 13
PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required '/Users/seb/tmp/vendor/zendframework/zftool/vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/opt/local/lib/php') in /Users/seb/tmp/vendor/zendframework/zftool/zf.php on line 13

What am I doing wrong? I’m using PHP 5.3.21 on Mac.

I also tested it on my Debian VServer with PHP 5.4, same error 🙁

You should copy zf.php into your root directory and run it from there.

$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp
$ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ ./composer.phar require zendframework/zftool:dev-master
$ cp vendor/zendframework/zftool/zf.php .
$ php zf.php
