Hey Phoenix, Sorry you're having so much trouble. The downloads page is a little sly. If you click the first "Minimal" graphic and link, it will take you to the login/registration screen. However, you can download directly without logging in by using the links at the bottom.
http://framework.zend.com/releases/ZendFramework-1.7.4/ZendFramework-1.7.4-minimal.tar.gz If you really want to use subversion, you can find the proper branch or tag here: http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/ Also, this page: > http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstart/download-and-install-zf - > suggests that I can "extract the library folder into your project's > folder".

Once it's there, can I just instantiate > the class as This really depends on your setup. I like to put it in the shared directory so I'm only maintaining one copy of the framework. I'm typically working on 2-3 projects at a time, and each project having it's own copy is cumbersome (and unnecessary). However, Any location will work, as long as that location is in your include path. > > > <?php include 'Zend/xyz'; ?> > > Will that work? > You've got it :) Taking it further, you also have an option of using `Zend_Loader::registerAutoload()` to allow Zend Framework to automatically load classes for you. http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.loader.html I hope this helps! -- A.J.
