Using with other PHP Frameworks

This article is meant to followup sfZendPlugin where we learn a newer way of obtaining the Zend Framework. In this tutorial weÂ’re going to delve into the Lucene index. Zend Search Lucene relies on building a Lucene index. This is a directory that contains files that can be indexed and queried by Lucene or other ports. In our example weÂ’ll be creating a search for user profiles.

This tutorial will introduce you to an easy way to integrate the Zend Framework libraries (a lot!) into Code Igniter php Framework. In particular we will build an example in wich we use the Zend_Service_Flickr to retrieve images based on a specific tag ('climbing' in this tutorial).

In this article I describe how to use Zend framework components in a CakePHP application by means of building a very simple CakePHP application using Zend_Service_Flickr, a component for accessing the Flickr web services.
