Zend Framework is an open-source PHP-based web application framework developed to build robust, secure, and high-performing web applications. It follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern and is designed for extensibility and reusability. Zend Framework is ideal for enterprise-level PHP development and supports modern best practices like dependency injection and configuration via services.

Features of Zend Framework:

• Follows the MVC design pattern to separate business logic, presentation, and control.
• Highly modular architecture with components that can be used standalone.
• Built-in support for authentication, caching, forms, and RESTful APIs.
• Enterprise-ready with robust security features and proven scalability.

To access the Zend Framework application, start the built-in development server using:

php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public

Then, open http://your_server_ip:8080 in your browser to view the app.
