The Zend Framework Module for Drupal ensures that the Zend Framework is installed properly and ready for use. It lists the Zend Framework version number in the server status page, let's the administrator change Zend's installation directory, as well as provide a nice API feature set to make the Zend Framework's functionality easily accessible to other modules. One of these API benefits is the zend_initialize($class) function that cleanly includes a class from the Zend Framework and make it ready for use.
This could lead to some very powerful Service modules that use the powerful web service platform.
Zend MVC in Drupal
Hello Rob
I developed some projects in drupal as well as with the Zend Framework. My question is now. Is it possible to merge both frameworks? I would love to develope some modules with Zend Framework (probably accessing CCK nodes in the model) or I would love to use the community management of drupal and use the nicely written classes of the Zend Framework. Unfortunately I couldn't find any tutorial about Drupal+ZendFramework.
Any suggestions?
Zend_Mail
The Zend_Mail module (http://drupal.org/project/zend) provides a quick demonstration how we can use Drupal with the Zend Framework. It's part of the Zend Framework module's core. The Zend Framework is a bunch of completely unrelated tools. The only relation between them is that they use the same coding standards, and are pretty awesome. If you have a task that could use the Zend Framework (like use the Technorati API), then you could use the Zend Framework. It's not enough just to want to use the framework without a goal...
Rob, I have been looking at
Rob,
I have been looking at this recently. I wondered if you might have a working example you can discuss to illustrate how Zend framework can work with Drupal using this module?
How are you working drupal into OOP and design patterns?
