Hello, I'm new to the Zend Framework, and to be honest frameworks in general.
I've been running the various pieces of my small company's web site each in their own dedicated directories under the public root on the web server. I'm now looking at building a "front end" for a more organized web site using the ZF rather than just a loose collection of different applications. I understand that the Controller is what organizes what goes where. I've been told that when using the ZF I should keep as much as possible OUT of the public web directories and not even use the Webserver's configuration aliases. Instead I should use the ZF to "point" to stuff. So far, applications like DocuWiki sit entirely IN the public area of my web site. So if I access http://website.com/wiki, the DocuWiki application files are all at/below /path/to/public/webroot/wiki. I'm having a hard time grasping the whole MVC approach of the ZF. I still want to end up with the wiki @ http://website.com/wiki, but if I move the files somewhere else, how does the ZF "point" to them? I learn best if I can tear into an example, so if anyone could comment or reference any good ones, I'd really appreciate the help! >From all I've read I'm pretty sure the ZF will help a lot with getting me in the direction I need to go; just need to teach an old dog some new tricks first I suppose.
