== THIS REPOSITORY IS OUTDATED ==
=================================

[](#-this-repository-is-outdated-)

This repository was created way back when PSR-7 wasn't a thing. I would advise you to use PSR-7 as intermediate request format. Most stack middleware is already available for PSR-7.

The most common PSR-7 implementation can be found [here](https://packagist.org/packages/zendframework/zend-diactoros). After that you should search for bridges to make it compatible with your framework if it isn't already.

Stack/ZF2
=========

[](#stackzf2)

This project runs a [ZF2](https://github.com/zendframework/zf2) project within the [Symfony Http Foundation](https://github.com/symfony/HttpFoundation) wich is even more fun when [Stack](http://stackphp.com/) comes into the picture.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install Zend Framework using composer and simply add the require: `"reenl/stack-zf2": "dev-master"`. Then run `composer update`.

Please take a look at \[QUICKSTART.md\] (QUICKSTART.md) for a more detailed description.

Why stack/zf2?
--------------

[](#why-stackzf2)

Because it can be done. I wanted to investigate how flexible ZF2 is versus SF. It helped me understand the inner workings of Zend Framework.

However it can be useful in several other cases:

- Gracefully migrate from Zend Framework to Symfony or the other way around.
- Ability to use (hopefully all) the stack middlewares.
- Find bugs in ZF2.

Todo
----

[](#todo)

- Find out how to handle chdir, probably a setter on our kernel. (Please twitter me if you know the dependencies for chdir.)
- Test cases.
- Test compatibility other stack components.
- Find out what to do with Request::getBasePath. Hardcoded usage in some helper.
- Conversion from Symfony to Zend Request is via toString.
- Try to make ZF throw exceptions instead of an error page when $catch is false.

Known issues
------------

[](#known-issues)

- Application must be bootstrapped before calling `::handle`.
- The request object can not be used during bootstrap, because the request that is going to be handled is not known when bootstrapping.
- `$_ENV` and `$_FILES` are not (yet) supported.
