Okay, on Zend's website, I get the sense that it's corporate and stuffy.

4 megs for the archive???????

This is almost enough for me to chunk it.

Well, I chunked it.

Though it apparently has support for youtube, gmail, and probably other services not owned by google, I couldn't find the first hint of how to get any sort of page working. Sorry Zend, but I gotta zend you back.

USING ZEND FRAMEWORK
--------------------

Once you have a copy of the Zend Framework available, your application
needs to be able to access the framework classes. Though there are several
ways to achieve this, your PHP include_path needs to contain the path to
the Zend Framework library.

About the PHP include_path configuration directive:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.include-path

How to change PHP configuration directives:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php

One of the Zend Framework's most useful features is its implementation of
the Front Controller and Model-View-Controller (MVC) patterns. Get started
with Zend Framework MVC with the Zend_Controller Quick Start:

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.html#zend.controller.quickstart

Since Zend Framework components are rather loosely coupled, various
components may be selected for independent use as needed.
