title: How to load a class in Zend Framework
body: <p>I got a PHP library (<a href="http://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/" rel="nofollow">PHP Markdown</a>) in my <code>library</code> fold in an standard Zend Framework application. What is the best way to load the file and all it's classes to use in my models and controllers.</p>
  
  <p>Structure:</p>
  
  <pre><code>library/phpMarkdown/markdown.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note:
  PHP Markdown has a really ugly structure: It's only real "API" is a simple function, not a class. So the elegant was do not work for <strong>this exact case</strong>, but regarding the question the genearl solution the correctly named files/class is also "the right answer.</p>
  
  <p><em>Edit</em>
  So much good input here, really not sure which answer I should accept! Thanks to you all!</p>
