Installing Zend Framework on Mac OS X

[wcwalsh]

Hello all. I have been around php for a couple years now but have not ever gotten really deep into understanding it. None the less... I am trying to figure out how to configure the Zend Framework for Mac OS X.

 

I used the Entropy PHP (http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/) package to install PHP 5.

 

I then downloaded the latest stable release from Zend (http://framework.zend.com/download/gdata).

 

The installation instructions (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/introduction.installation.html) say "your PHP include_path needs to contain the path to the Zend Framework library." This is where I get stuck.

 

My PHP.ini file is located at "/usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini". My include_path currently says:

 

;UNIX:"/path1:/path2"

;include_path = ".:/php/includes"

 

My directory structure looks like this:

/php5

  /include

      /php

        /include

            /ZendGData

              /demos

              /documentation

              /library

                  /Zend

                    /GData

                    /Http

                    /Uri

                    /Validate

              /tests

/lib

  php.ini

 

So ultimately, what I am looking for is where should I place the ZendGData folder? What should I write in my php.ini file? And is there anything I can do to test to make sure that it has installed itself correctly?

 

Thank You,
