help Zend Framework FAQ

Is Zend Framework still maintained under that name?

The original Zend Framework project transitioned to the Linux Foundation and was renamed Laminas Project in 2019. Existing Zend Framework applications may still run, but maintained successor packages generally use the Laminas name.

Can a Zend Framework application migrate to Laminas?

Yes, although the effort depends on the application's version and dependencies. Laminas provides migration tooling that can replace many Zend Framework namespaces and package references, but a production application still needs regression testing.

Was Zend Framework a full-stack framework or a component library?

It supported full web applications while also exposing loosely coupled PHP components that could be adopted individually. Developers could use its routing, HTTP, authentication, database, and service-management packages without embracing every part of the stack.

How is Zend Framework related to the Zend Engine?

They are separate technologies despite sharing the Zend name. Zend Framework was an application framework, while the Zend Engine is the execution engine underlying PHP itself.
