The Directory Structure



I am sure this has great naming convention and we all could understand easily why we are having these folder structure.

application - application specific code
config - database/server configuration
db - database backups
library - framework code
public - application specific js/css/images
scripts - command-line utilities
tmp - temporary data

Once we have our directory structure ready, let us understand a few coding conventions.

Coding Conventions

1. mySQL tables will always be lowercase and plural e.g. items, cars
2. Models will always be singular and first letter capital e.g. Item, Car
3. Controllers will always have “Controller” appended to them. e.g. ItemsController, CarsController
4. Views will have plural name followed by action name as the file. e.g. items/view.php, cars/buy.php

So you know the directory structure of MVC/Zend framework. So now we will start implementing this in real project. Let me explain more detail in next post.

and also there are many other standard frameworks, each one having their own advantages, and zend framework provides great security than anything else we just moving with zend and we will be seeing all the frameworks.

The other frameworks are

Cake PHP
Code Igniter
Symfony
Prado
