install / setup zend framework

Hi,

This is my first post in the PHP zend framework. I will keep posting my learnings in the future.

version: ZendFramework-1.9.6
PHP5 , Mysql5 (wamp setup)
OS: Windows XP

The first day Excercise in the Zend Framework: Setup the Zend Framework

1) First download the ZendFramework from the website. Extract the zip in the htdocs OR www folder

2) Edit the php.ini and give the library folder path value (say D:\wamp\www\Zend\library) in the include_path settings variable.

3) Edit the Environment variable from the MyComputer and give the php.exe file folder path

4)In Command prompt, type the below to create the test project folder:
D:\wamp\www>D:\wamp\www\Zend\bin\zf.bat create project testproject

This command will create a folder in the www folder with many subfolders and some php, phtml files.
