Laminas MVC for Teams Coming from Zend Framework

Laminas MVC is the maintained successor shape of the ZF2/ZF3 MVC stack. After laminas-migration, your modules should look familiar—package names and namespaces are the headline change, not a brand-new architecture textbook.

// MODERN controller
namespace Application\Controller;

use Laminas\Mvc\Controller\AbstractActionController;
use Laminas\View\Model\ViewModel;

final class IndexController extends AbstractActionController
{
    public function indexAction(): ViewModel
    {
        return new ViewModel(['status' => 'ok']);
    }
}

// LEGACY equivalent used Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractActionController

• Clear config caches after deploy
• Re-test route → controller service names
• Confirm view helpers registered under new namespaces
