Use the include_path to your advantage. Keep any classes you customize in a parallel directory structure, and put the top of that directory in your include_path ahead of the stock Zend Framework library directory. Then any files of the same name in your custom directory will be used instead of the unmodified files in the ZF library.
For example, here's what I would do: 1. Install ZF in /opt/Zend/Framework 2. Create my own library in /usr/local/lib/framework 3. Edit php.ini (or write code in your boostrap script) to set the include_path: include_path=/usr/local/lib/framework:/opt/Zend/Framework/library Next time ZF has a new release, install it in /opt/Zend/Framework like the original, and keep your include_path settings, so that your customized files still take priority.
