Upgrading the Zend Framework

At time of publication, the current version of the Zend Framework was 1.0.2. Upgrading to the latest version is relatively straightforward: simply replace the ./include/Zend directory with the latest version.

Firstly, you will need to download the latest version from http://framework.zend.com/download.

As an example, to upgrade to Zend Framework 1.0.3, you could use the following commands:

$ cd /var/www/phpweb20/include
$ rm -r Zend
$ wget http://framework.zend.com/releases/ZendFramework-1.0.3/ZendFramework-1.0.3.tar.gz
$ tar -zxf ZendFramework-1.0.3.tar.gz
$ mv ZendFramework-1.0.3/library/Zend .
$ rm -r ZendFramework-1.0.3
$ rm ZendFramework-1.0.3.tar.gz

Dear Reader,

Many programming books on the market today focus specifically on a particular methodology or software package, and although you will gain a solid understanding of the subject matter from these books, you won't always know how to apply what you've learned in a real-world situation. This book is designed to show you how to bring together many different ideas and features by starting with a clean slate and gradually building the code base so it evolves into a complete web application.
