I use this for my alias, and just put in the .bash_profile:

mamp="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -u root -p -P 3306"

So after that's created you can type mamp, hit enter, and pop in your password.

Great tutorial. I tried and failed many times on getting zend up and running. Im not knocking ZendCasts but heck this took me maybe all of 10 minutes to set-up versus about 2 hours of watching the ZendCast set up. It was painful to say the least. Quick question: Can I create an alias to mamp via command line? right now this is how I connect to it via terminal::

cd /applications/mamp/Library/bin

./mysql -u root -p -P 3306

Enter password: *****.

There has got to be a better way. I would just like to enter 'mamp' via command line and I am connected. Thanks...

Hey Nev,

To permanently add an alias to your “memory” just takes a little more terminal input:

vi ~/.bash_profile
hit “a” to enter “edit” mode, arrow down to the bottom and paste in your alias:
alias zf=/Applications/MAMP/svn/zendframework/trunk/bin/zf.sh
then hit the esc key and type “wa” (write all) and “q” (quit)

That will save it in your shell profile of shortcuts (you can do this with many commands) and will be available even if you reboot. To get them to reload right away you can type in:

. ~/.bash_profile

Hope that helps and happy coding

Hey awesome tutorial!!

I have one question for you..Whenever I close the terminal or open a new one and try to type a zf command; I get zf: command not found.

It looks like I have to build the alias each time I want to use zend_tool.

How would I save the following alias command to my system?
alias zf=/Applications/MAMP/svn/zendframework/trunk/bin/zf.sh

Thanks

Yes…in the project there is a library/Zend folder. Thank you for clarifying this to me so I would not blame not installing Zend Framework on my MAMP if something weird happened in the development of the project haha! God Bless ^^

If it's working already, then ZF is probably included locally in the project (usually linked to as “library” or something similar. If that's the case, you don't need to do anything further to update that project. This post mainly sets up an environment where ZF is included to all projects by default and accessible to multiple projects, thus saving on disk space and setup time.

Hope that helps and good luck with your project!

Hello! Thank you for this tutorial! I just have a question.

If I was given a project built on Zend Framework, do I still have to install Zend on my MAMP for local development?

I tested the project and it works fine…but there might be drawbacks I don't know. This is my first encounter with Zend Framework hehe. Would installing Zend Framework for local development necessary if I'm developing from an existing project that used Zend Framework?

Thank you and pardon me for my ignorance at the moment
