Using the Zend Tool Console

PDT provides you with the ability to execute Zend Tool commands from within PDT using the Zend Tool Console. This replicates entering a command in your CLI (command line interface).

 

The Zend Tool Initative allows PHP programmers to programme according to Rapid Application Development principles. See http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Zend+Tool+Initiative for more information on the Zend Tools initiative.

 

Note:

You must have Zend Framework version 1.8 installed and configured in your php.ini file for Zend Tool commands to function.
Zend Framework comes bundled with Zend Server or can be downloaded from the Zend Framework site at http://framework.zend.com/download/current.
