EZ Components for PHP

In learning PHP, a nice set of components has risen above the rest, EZ Components. EZ Components has a nice list of functionality.

Of the items to check out are the Archive component which allows one to zip or tar files. The file set of tools has a neat component for allowing file management, something needed in PHP. There are image components for analysis and image manipulation. Enterprise PHP has a nice context diagram of how everything relates. Snipped and featured below for future reference.

There are several different installation routes to view, one can view the components from SVN, as this tutorial indicates, or one can simply unzip and install the components.

Once installed, use the following code to initiate and HTTP_PATH_INSTALLED, is the installation location.

<?php ini_set('include_path', 'HTTP_PATH_INSTALLED');
require_once 'Base/scr/base.php';
