PHP developers and web application architects
Starting a new Zend Framework 1.x project and need a reference for the standard directory layout.
Use cases
About
The Zend Framework Application mind map template provides a complete project directory structure for Zend Framework 1.x applications, covering 70 nodes across 5 top-level branches: application, public, tests, library, and blueprints. This template serves as a cheat sheet for developers setting up a modular ZF1 project, including specific modules like 'api', 'frontend', and 'backend' with their controllers, views, and layouts. It also details configuration files such as 'application.ini', 'form.ini', and 'navigation.ini', along with database migration blueprints under 'phing/database'. The structure is organized as a radial mind map, making it easy to visualize dependencies and deployment scripts.

Frequently asked questions
The template includes a full ZF1 project structure with 70 nodes covering application modules (api, frontend, backend), public assets, tests, library directories, and deployment blueprints with Phing scripts and database migrations.
Open the .xmind file in Xmind, then use the branches as a checklist to create your directory structure. Customize module names, controllers, and configuration files like application.ini to match your project requirements.
Yes, the template is free to use and fully editable in Xmind. You can add, remove, or rename nodes to fit your specific ZF1 application architecture.
The blueprints branch contains Phing build scripts (build.xml, build.ini), database migration SQL (1-createInitialSchema.sql), and deployment scripts to automate project builds and deployments.
Absolutely. The template shows api, frontend, and backend modules, but you can rename or add new modules under the 'modules' node. Each module's controllers, views, and layouts are separate branches for easy customization.
