DD MMM YYYY ### UPDATES IN 3.0.1 [](#updates-in-301) Please see [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md). ### SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS [](#system-requirements) Zend Framework 3 requires PHP 5.6 or later; we recommend using the latest PHP version whenever possible. ### INSTALLATION [](#installation) We no longer recommend installing this package directly. The package is a metapackage that aggregates all components (and/or integrations) originally shipped with Zend Framework; in most cases, you will want a subset, and these may be installed separately; see for a list of available packages and installation instructions for each. We recommend using either the zend-mvc skeleton application: ``` $ composer create-project zendframework/skeleton-application project ``` or the Expressive skeleton application: ``` $ composer create-project zendframework/zend-expressive-skeleton project ``` The primary use case for installing the entire framework is when upgrading from a version 2 release. If you decide you still want to install the entire framework: ``` $ composer require zendframework/zendframework ``` #### GETTING STARTED [](#getting-started) A great place to get up-to-speed quickly is the [Zend Framework QuickStart](https://docs.zendframework.com/tutorials/getting-started/overview/). The QuickStart covers some of the most commonly used components of ZF. Since Zend Framework is designed with a use-at-will architecture and components are loosely coupled, you can select and use only those components that are needed for your project. #### MIGRATION [](#migration) For detailed information on migration from v2 to v3, please [read our Migration Guide](https://docs.zendframework.com/tutorials/migration/to-v3/overview/). ### COMPONENTS [](#components) This package is a metapackage aggregating the following components: - [zend-authentication](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-authentication) - [zend-barcode](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-barcode) - [zend-cache](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-cache) - [zend-captcha](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-captcha) - [zend-code](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code) - [zend-config](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-config) - [zend-console](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-console) - [zend-crypt](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-crypt) - [zend-db](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-db) - [zend-debug](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-debug) - [zend-di](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-di) - [zend-diactoros](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-diactoros) - [zend-dom](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-dom) - [zend-escaper](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-escaper) - [zend-eventmanager](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-eventmanager) - [zend-feed](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-feed) - [zend-file](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-file) - [zend-filter](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-filter) - [zend-form](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-form) - [zend-http](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-http) - [zend-hydrator](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-hydrator) - [zend-i18n](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-i18n) - [zend-i18n-resources](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-i18n-resources) - [zend-inputfilter](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-inputfilter) - [zend-json](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-json) - [zend-json-server](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-json-server) - [zend-loader](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-loader) - [zend-log](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-log) - [zend-mail](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-mail) - [zend-math](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-math) - [zend-memory](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-memory) - [zend-mime](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-mime) - [zend-modulemanager](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-modulemanager) - [zend-mvc](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-mvc) - [zend-mvc-console](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-mvc-console) - [zend-mvc-form](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-mvc-form) - [zend-mvc-i18n](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-mvc-i18n) - [zend-mvc-plugins](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-mvc-plugins) - [zend-navigation](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-navigation) - [zend-paginator](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-paginator) - [zend-permissions-acl](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-permissions-acl) - [zend-permissions-rbac](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-permissions-rbac) - [zend-progressbar](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-progressbar) - [zend-psr7bridge](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-psr7bridge) - [zend-serializer](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-serializer) - [zend-server](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-server) - [zend-servicemanager](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-servicemanager) - [zend-servicemanager-di](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-servicemanager-di) - [zend-session](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-session) - [zend-soap](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-soap) - [zend-stdlib](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-stdlib) - [zend-stratigility](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-stratigility) - [zend-tag](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-tag) - [zend-test](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-test) - [zend-text](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-text) - [zend-uri](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-uri) - [zend-validator](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-validator) - [zend-view](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-view) - [zend-xml2json](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-xml2json) - [zend-xmlrpc](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-xmlrpc) - [zendxml](https://github.com/zendframework/zendxml) ### CONTRIBUTING [](#contributing) If you wish to contribute to Zend Framework, please read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and [CODE\_OF\_CONDUCT.md](.github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) files. ### QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK [](#questions-and-feedback) Online documentation can be found at .
