Working with Google Data (GData) services using the Zend Framework – setting up the framework

The Zend Framework provides a PHP client library package that allows for easy interaction with GData services. Setting up your application to work with the package is simple.

1. Download a copy of the Zend Framework from: http://framework.zend.com/download/tgz
2. Unzip the contents to a folder that will house the Zend library. Note that to have a functioning Zend framework, you only need the contents of the /library/ folder.
3. The library needs to be accessible via PHP's path. You can either set that in php.ini or within your script like so:
   PLAIN TEXT
   PHP:

   1. set_include_path('/path/to/Zend/library/' . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
