This is where I think I'll stop with Zend Framework

It's true about what ppl are saying about Zend.. Although it created PHP, it's not being brilliant in creating a framework, which i understand, cos we cant be good at everything..

can you imagine symfony creating php??? AAAHH, or microsoft??

So I got stuck in this part of the tutorial from the Zend official website itself and apparently from what i see, the Zend framework doesnt have much and I guess it wont even post the comments about the issues i encountered on following it, which is not fairplay at all and which also reflects their professionalism and ways of doing things.. I never knew Zend PHP people to be sort of hypocrites: well, maybe they have a good reason to do so, and I hope it's for their own best..

So here we go..

im sorry but i think it's important for me to say this, but this might sound like spamming, it is not or maybe im doing it wrongly, if so, someone be nice and email me at equatorlounge[at]gmail[dot]com..

i had to manually type in the lines:
resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 0
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"

and create the folders layouts/scripts with the layout.phtml inside

i cant believe im the only one going through this cos ive googled like hell and NOT found the error i mentioned in the previous threads ive posted

to note im using xampp-32bit on windows7 64bit, but i didnt find a 64-bit version on the apachefriends site

it's quite discouraging in the end. im gonna try one last day and shift to CakePHP just like everyone else
