I recently downloaded the full package version(recommended) of ZendFramework(2.0.5).And tried and failed to install in xampp(version 1.7.4) also my php version is 5.3.5 .
I have done almost everything that is said to do like-
1.find php.ini and add path
include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\Zend\library\zend\;C:\xampp\php\PEAR;"
2.Extract the downloaded Zend Framework folder and copy to your PHP include path.
I have also checked the folder(xampp,php,Zend) permissions too.I have checked and rechecked my tries multiple times but that error is not solved.
Exception thrown trying to access Zend/Loader.php using 'use_include_path' = true. Make sure you include Zend Framework in your include_path which currently contains: .;C:\xampp\php\Zend\library\zend\;C:\xampp\php\PEAR;
It has already taken mine whole day to check other forums,get ideas but none of then works.Please help .Thanks
Hi there finally after doing every possible tries,my error was gone.
I don't know other cases but in my case i have done a series of mistake.So as i corrected them the error was gone.Here is what i did
1.In ZendFramework-2.0.5 the loader.php was missing.So following error occured
Exception thrown trying to access Zend/Loader.php using 'use_include_path' = true. Make sure you include Zend Framework in your include_path which currently contains: .;C:\xampp\php\Zend\library\zend\;C:\xampp\php\PEAR;
For this i downloaded the ZendFramework-1.12.0(only in my case).And Loader.php was there
2.No two mistake of mine was i fractured the path from half.
i.e.If my folder structure was like
ZendFramework-1.12.0/library/Zend/..I add the half path to php.ini file
include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR\;C:\xampp\php\Zend;"
which was a mistake so i, gave the path before the library folder
include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR\;C:\xampp\php\Zend\library;"
and placed the folders according to path.
3.And what about environmental variables i read about?
They are not neccessary while installing the ZendFramework for the first time.After it i am not in that condn to say whether it should be added or not environmantal variables
C:\xampp\php
So,after doing above mentioned corrections and checking through the installation checker the error was gone.
And remember to restart(start and stop) the apache server after a tiny change in php.ini file.
thanks to markus-tharkun and Seth Battin a lot.You saved me.
