ZF2 Sample Application

Introduction

This is a sample application for getting started to Zend Framework 2. I follow the instructions on Akrabat's ZF2 tutorial (http://akrabat.com/getting-started-with-zend-framework-2/) and I used ZendFrameworkSkeletonApplication as the starting point which is available at GitHub.

The application is a simple database CRUD operation. It has a module called "Album" and an AlbumController to create, edit, delete the albums.

As the database layer I have used the ZendDb, but I am planning to implement a Doctrine2 version sometime.

Installation

The only modification that you should do is to change the "ZF2_PATH" constant in the /public/index.php file. This constant shows the exact location of the ZF2 library. Alternatively you can add the library in your include path. I didn't do that because I still use the older ZF version in my include_path

The database you should create is named "zf2tutorial". Following is the SQL statements for creating it.

CREATE TABLE album (
  id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  artist varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  title varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
INSERT INTO album (artist, title)
 VALUES ('Coldplay', 'Mylo Xyloto');
INSERT INTO album (artist, title)
 VALUES ('Noel Gallagher', 'Noel Gallagher\'s High Flying Birds!'); INSERT INTO album (artist, title)
 VALUES ('Adele', '21');
INSERT INTO album (artist, title)
 VALUES ('Matt Cardle', 'Letters');
INSERT INTO album (artist, title)
 VALUES ('Steps', 'The Ultimate Collection');
