Question

I’m reading Reference Guide::Create Your Project. And it’s written there:

In order to create your project, you must first download and extract Zend Framework.

After you have installed Zend Server, the Framework files may be found
under C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\share\ZendFramework on
Windows. The include_path will already be configured to include Zend
Framework.

I didn’t download Zend Framework or installed Zend Server (I have XAMPP installed with Apache and have localhost and can load php files in browser. I don’t need any more server, I think). I just downloaded and instaled Zend Studio 9 and after the instalation I went this way:

File --> New --> Example...

and chose Zend Framework Example Project and named my project "zend_project_example".

Then it was written that somthing was being instaled and it took quite a long time. Then I got this tree in the PHP Explore folder. And I even opened the Controller code from Zend Framework Library:

So it seems I have ZF, but I don’t have anything in:

C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\share\ZendFramework.

In fact I only have Zend Studio 9 folder threre: C:\Program Files\Zend\Zend Studio 9.0.2.

No any \ZendServer\share\ZendFramework

And in the Reference it is written:

Open a terminal (in Windows, Start -> Run, and then use cmd). Navigate
to a directory where you would like to start a project. Then, use the
path to the appropriate script, and execute one of the following:

% zf create project quickstart

I doesn’t work for me. I can’t do any steps farther in the Reference Guide. What should I have to solve and what should I have to do next to follow the Referance right way?

Thank you.

Zend Studio is just an IDE – an environment which is supposed to make developer’s life easier. You need a server to run your projects on localhost. You quoted

After you have installed Zend Server,

and you wrote

I didn’t download Zend Framework or installed Zend Server,

You can’t expect the tutprail to work if you don’t do what it says.
