Install Zend Framework on Fedora, CentOS/RHEL

This is quick guide, howto install Zend Framework (ZF) 1.12.3 on Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat (RHEL). This guide also works with older Fedora releases, like Fedora 13/12/11 and also with older CentOS/Red Hat RHEL 5 releases. I use Remi repository here because it’s updated more frequently than example Fedora’s own repositories.
What is Zend Framework?
Zend Framework is a simple, straightforward, open-source software framework for PHP 5 designed to eliminate the tedious details of coding and let you focus on the big picture. Its strength is in its highly-modular MVC design, making your code more reusable and easier to maintain.

3. Create New Zend test-project and Test That The Zend Framework is Working

3.1 Check zf command functionality and Zend Framework version

zf show version
Zend Framework Version: 1.12.3

3.2 Create new zend project

## Change to web directory ##
cd /var/www/html

## Create new Zend Framework project using zf command ##
zf create project test-project
Creating project at /var/www/html/test-project

[alert]Note: This command created a web project, for more information setting up your VHOST, please see docs/README[/alert]

3.3 Create Link (symlink) / Copy Zend directory to your project directory

## Change directory to /var/www/html/test-project/library ##
cd test-project/library
## OR ##
cd /var/www/html/test-project/library

## Symlink Zend Framework on library path ##
ln -s /usr/share/php/Zend .

## OR ##

## Copy Zend Framework on library path ##
cp -R /usr/share/php/Zend .

[alert]Note: If you use symlink method then Zend Framework is updated automatically all your projects with yum update.[/alert]

3.4 Check test-project directory content

Should look like following (check also library/Zend):

test-project
|-- application
|    |-- Bootstrap.php
|    |-- configs
|    |    `-- application.ini
|    |-- controllers
