Zend_Loader can't find my file?

I am following this tutorial on Zend Forms. I copied it verbatim and I got this error

Fatal error: Class 'forms_ContactForm' not found in /Quickstart/application/controllers/IndexController.php on line 10

Which led me to believe it wasn't loading in the class, so I added this into my IndexController.php file

Zend_Loader::loadClass('forms_ContactForm');

This is the main error I am receiving, I believe it is because it cannot locate my form_ContactForm.php file and I am unsure why.

This is my hierarchy of folders:
Quickstart
   application
      controllers
      forms
      layouts
      views
   library
   public
link to full error text

Any help would be appreciated,
Levi

As Shane said, you should include your "application" folder in your include path. This should be done in your "index.php" bootstrap file :

set_include_path(
    '/paht/to/application' 
    . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path()
);

Moreover, you can tell Zend Framework to autoload all classes by adding this to your bootstrap file :

Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();

This will save you from having to load manuall each class you use.

Your include path is set to:

. (relative to current directory)
/usr/lib/php
/usr/local/lib/php
../library'

Since your "forms" folder is not directly under any of the above include paths that include command won't work.

To fix this, add the /application/ directory to your include path and try again.
