The Zoop framework for PHP is available for download at sourceforge.net.

There are 3 files at sourceforge.

• Zoop (the framework)
• Skeleton (a skeleton application using Zoop)
• Lib (the PEAR libraries Zoop is dependent on)

Zoop is increasingly less depedent on PEAR, the Lib part is an optional download that contains the PEAR libraries Zoop is dependent on. It is mostly for those who won't have access to PEAR on their machines (shared hosts).

Installing Zoop

You'll need to have a working installation of php. Click here to download and install php. Zoop works great with php 4.3.10 or greater. We like php 5.2.

We also recommend using a php Accelerator like eAccelerator or APC. Begin by extracting the files, on Windows use 7 zip or something capable of tar.gz files. Zoop can be installed anywhere on your system. Some people put it in /usr/lib/zoop others put it in ~/zoop . It doesn't matter where you put it, just remember where it is, because you need to tell your application.

The lib should go inside of zoop, so you should have zoop/lib/pear/...You do not need the lib and can depend on your system's pear installation, but we provide this for ease of use.. especially on shared hosting, where you can't touch the system's pear installation.
