Integrate with Zend Framework

I need to integrate my application with Google data API. Google team created the PHP client library, but as a part of ZendFramework.

I'm trying to use it as following:

• Extract everything into protected/vendors
• In the action I'm going to use ZF classes I do: Yii::import('application.vendors.Zend.*')

Then the code follows:

require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';


		Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');


		Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Gbase');


		Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Uri_Http');


		Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Socket');


		Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Gbase_ItemEntry');


		$serviceName = Zend_Gdata_Gbase::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;


		$user = Yii::app()->params['gBaseLogin'];


		$pass = Yii::app()->params['gBasePassword'];


		// Create an authenticated HTTP client


		$client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($user, $pass, $serviceName);


		$serviceName = Zend_Gdata_Gbase::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;


		$user = Yii::app()->params['gBaseLogin'];


		$pass = Yii::app()->params['gBasePassword'];


		// Create an authenticated HTTP client


		$client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($user, $pass, $serviceName);


		// Create an instance of the Base service


		$service = new Zend_Gdata_Gbase($client);


		//continue from here: http://www.zendframework.com/manual/en/zend.gdata.gbase.html


		$i = 0;


		$reader = Yii::app()->db->createCommand("SELECT p.* FROM Product p")->query();


		if ($reader->rowCount > 0)


		{


			foreach ($reader as $p)


			{


				if ($i > 20) break;


					$gProduct = $service->newItemEntry();


					$gProduct->title = $service->newTitle($p['title']);


					$gProduct->content = $service->newContent($p['description']);


					$gProduct->content->type = 'text';


					$gProduct->itemType = 'Products';


					$gProduct->published = date('d/m/y H:i:s', strtotime($p['dtAdded']));


					$gProduct->link = $service->newLink('http://everystyle.co.uk/womens/clothing/'.Utils::name2url($p['name']).'__'.$p['productID'].'.html');


//					$gProduct->link = 'http://everystyle.co.uk/womens/clothing/'.Utils::name2url($p['name']).'__'.$p['productID'].'.html';


					$gProduct->updated = empty($p['dtUpdated']) ? date('d/m/y H:i:s', strtotime($p['dtAdded'])) : date('d/m/y H:i:s', strtotime($p['dtUpdated']));


					$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('id', 'everystyle.co.uk-'.$p['productID'], 'text');


					$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('brand', $p['shop'], 'text');


					$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('color', $p['colourDesc'], 'text');


					$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('condition', 'New', 'text');


					$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('department', 'women's', 'text');


					$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('location', 'UK', 'text');


					$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('price', $p['price'].' GBP', 'floatUnit');


//					$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('product_type', $path, 'text');


					$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('quantity', $p['qty'], 'number');


					if (!empty($sizeText))


						$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('size', $p['sizeText'], 'text');


					$gProduct->addGbaseAttribute('year', date('Y', strtotime($p['dtAdded'])), 'number');


					$gCreated = $service->insertGbaseItem($gProduct, true);


					Yii::trace(print_r($gCreated, true));


					$i++;


			}


		}

And it gives an error:

YiiBase::include(Zend_Gdata_Gbase_Extension_ItemEntry.php) [<a href='yiibase.include'>yiibase.include</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Sure, that's OK - Yii doesn't know how to autoload Zend classes! It's quite strange, but there is no class here vendors/Zend/Gdata/Gbase/Extension/ItemEntry.php I double checked that - there is really no file there, neither in my distrib nor in Zend archives… I think, that enabling zend autoload will solve the problem.

The question is - how to enable Zend autoload? I remember there was a question like this regarding doctrine or propel. But I can't find that now.

Maybe someone has examples of such integration, maybe even google base examples?

Found it here: http://www.yiiframew…61.html#msg4261

The lines for the latest ZF will be:

Yii::import('application.vendors.*');


require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';


spl_autoload_unregister(array('YiiBase','autoload'));


spl_autoload_register(array('Zend_Loader_Autoloader','autoload'));


spl_autoload_register(array('YiiBase','autoload'));

does this solution work?
