Mandrill API for Zend Framework 2 (>=2.5)
============================================

[](#mandrill-api-for-zend-framework-2-25)

A PHP ZF2 (>=2.5) client library for [Mandrill's API](https://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/).

This library provides all of the functionality present in the [official PHP client](https://bitbucket.org/mailchimp/mandrill-api-php/), but makes use of namespaces, provides helper classes to ease message sending and works with Zend Framework 2 (>=2.5) (uses its library).

This library based on Joe Linn's library ().
