Integrating Alfresco with a PHP Zend Application

We have a PHP Zend application that has its own concepts of Users, Groups, Permissions etc. These objects are stored in the MySQL database and are managed using the Doctrine ORM. We now want to store the documents, blog pages etc. created by users into Alfresco. Has someone done integration of a Zend application with Alfresco? I know that there is REST API on top of Alfresco which I can use from the PHP application. But wanted to find out how easy it is do it and also if all the capabilities of Alfresco are exposed thru it or not?

Are there some plugins that can make this integration easier?

Hi,
So you have a PHP API to use Alfresco, you can find it here : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_PHP_API
Your system already inplements user, groups, security… So maybe, the simpler way to integrate your app is to configure a bind account (a specific Alfresco user) that will be used by your app to store contents in Alfresco.
Alfresco will be used as back-end repository.
But maybe, you want more ?
