Zend Framework (often abbreviated ZF) was conceived in early 2005. Contrary <strong>to</strong><br />
PEAR1, ZF tends <strong>to</strong> remain relatively current in the version of <strong>PHP</strong> it requires and<br />
often takes advantage of features available in newer versions. As of ZF 1.10.1, <strong>PHP</strong><br />
5.2.4 is required.<br />
Designed <strong>to</strong> take full advantage of the new object system introduced in <strong>PHP</strong> 5, ZF<br />
has a fully object-oriented API. The project team strives <strong>to</strong> maintain an E_STRICT<br />
level of compliance and good code co verage via unit testing.<br />
