Download Zoop

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

There are 3 files at sourceforge.

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

Most of you will probably need all three files.

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. 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.
