Microsoft transferred opensource code to Zend Framework
The recently released Zend Framework 1.10 contains the Zend_Service_WindowsAzure component, which is passed to the Microsoft community for full support of the Windows Azure cloud platform from PHP applications written in the Zend Framework.
Zend_Service_WindowsAzure allows you to use all Windows Azure services: Blob Storage, Table Storage and Queue Service.
“Windows Azure native support in Zend Framework 1.10 allows you to use the full power of Windows Azure to the solid Zend Framework community,” said Ziv Surasky, one of the founders of Zend. ')
In addition to support in the Zend Framework, Windows Azure is available for any PHP developer through the Windows Azure SDK for PHP released a long time ago, which comes bundled with the Windows Azure tools for Eclipse or in a simpler version of Simple Cloud API .
