complete web framework for PHP 5. Zend Framework replaces
outdated tools and development practices with a sound, testable, maintainable
approach to PHP. Zend Framework captures high-use application features and
PHP best practices in reusable framework components for consistently high performance.
Zend Framework in Action takes the reader on a tour of the Zend Framework as
the reader builds a high quality, real-world, web application. Readers gain quick
