Latest version of Zend frameworks with its features The latest version of Zend framework that is used for PHP web application is Zend Framework 1.10.2. This particular version does include a range of features that makes it much more effective and constructive from its earlier versions.

 

Model-View-Controller (MVC): This is one of the major components that separate code implementation and design easily thereby helping PHP developers to create effective applications conveniently.

 

Tooling and Rapid Application Development (RAD): The initial application setup can be quite difficult and tedious and RAD offers tooling support and a command line client. This helps PHP web application by easily generating project architecture, MVC artifacts and other features.

 

Database: Zend framework uses the best practices of standard database programs and it allows PHP developers to build application models based on the database engines they require.

 

Internationalization and Localization Since PHP web application is outsourced to countries like India frequently therefore it has become imperative to add certain languages to the web applications.

The Zend Framework for developing PHP applications isn't one of the more popular ones out there - the pack seems to be led by Codeigniter and CakePHP, but the Zend Framework comes from one of the most committed contributors to the PHP development platform.The Model-View-Controller pattern caught on as a means of separating code and to avoid to code spaghetti that most software was developed back in the day, but that does not make it more efficient. Try writing a plain and simple PHP application with the plain vanilla features that PHP has to offer and compare that against the performance of an application that uses Code Igniter, CakePHP, or even the Zend Framework. The plain-vanilla PHP code with no frameworks backing it up will get you quicker responses and lesser processing load on the server. However, if you consider the number of components provided by the frameworks, you would still want to use a framework because of the amount of effort that you would save from using something that is already out there versus building something from scratch for every project that you develop. To find components for frameworks, I would stick to the most popular framework out there, which would be Code Igniter, which has displaced CakePHP from the top spot. CakePHP is a great way to get started programming too because of the amount of documentation that is available out there, being one of the oldies that ruled the roost for quite some time.
