如何在我的域中包含Zend Framework库？

Question

Locally, on my xampp installation, the Zend folder is under PEAR\Zend, and Pear is in the include path. So when I do require_once "Zend\Date.php" there is no problem.

However, on my domain (Hostmonster), that's not the case. I have no idea where the Zend folder is, although doing phpinfo(); seems to indicate that Zend Framework is definitely available. I asked the host, and they told me to include zend_extension="/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.9/php-5.2.x/ZendOptimizer.so" at the bottom of the php.ini file, which didn't help at all.

Also, I don't know what that statement in the php.ini file even does. Could anyone please help?

Answer 1

Perhaps you could upload the Zend library to your shared hosting account in a directory like /home/your_account/public_html/zend.

Then modify (or create if it doesn't exist) a php.ini file in your webroot directory /home/your_account/public_html. Add the following:

include_path = .:/home/your_account/public_html/Zend

Note: this will override any default include paths set by PHP. The . represents the current directory and : separates the different paths.

Now in your PHP file you can add at the top:

require_once 'Zend/Date.php';
