Zend Framework 1 fork for PHP 8.2 and PHP 8.4
=============================================

[](#zend-framework-1-fork-for-php-82-and-php-84)

### Classic ZF1 Reborn

[](#classic-zf1-reborn)

Zend may have abandoned the original Zend Framework, but the global Zend Framework Community has not! Since Zend sentenced ZF1 to EOL, the Zend Framework community around the globe has continued to work and build on what we consider to be one of the best PHP frameworks of all time. This fork is maintained to keep ZF1 compatible with PHP 8.2 and PHP 8.4 while preserving compatibility with legacy codebases.
