Hey karango,

ZF1 is end-of-life, so if you just started with it, I suggest moving away from it as soon as possible.

As for your question, did you already see [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3157058/zend-form-add-css-class-how-can-i-add-css-class-to-label-in-zend-form](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3157058/zend-form-add-css-class-how-can-i-add-css-class-to-label-in-zend-form)

You should not be using PHP packages provided by your OS! As you can see they are often out of date.

Zend Framework (and every other decent PHP project that exists) uses a dependency manager called Composer.

Follow the official tutorials, which will help you get started using the latest version of Zend Framework: [https://docs.zendframework.com/tutorials/getting-started/overview/](https://docs.zendframework.com/tutorials/getting-started/overview/)
