Hi there. Are you only new to ZF or web development in general. I would like to be sure so I can base further clarifications around this knowledge. lordali wrote: > > This is open source framework which is only needed to make Zend Web > Projects. Right? > FYI, it would be better to not end each question with "Right?" in big bold letters :). A simple question mark "?" would suffice. Yes, Zend Framework is open source, and like any other open source code, you should double-check that the license is acceptable for your projects/organization. You mentioned "Zend Web Projects"...Zend Framework can be used to build web applications, web sites, web applications that generate web sites, console applications, web services, or anything else you can build with PHP. lordali wrote: > > Zend Server (Very expensive) > This is application server which is not required for the project.

Zend Server does include Apache (A web server, not an application server) but also includes Zend's (Zend is a company that contributes to PHP and provides Zend Framework) build of PHP as a binary which you can use instead of compiling your own version of PHP or instead of using your Linux distribution's version of PHP. There is a free version and it is actually production quality...from what I've experienced, it is more production ready than the stuff you'd get via your linux distribution. The only thing that _might_ be better is compiling your own, but that is a lot of work to get right and a lot of work to maintain. I suggest you use Zend Server CE (free version) if possible. lordali wrote: > > Zend Studio > This is IDE to develop Zend Projects. Its not free.

If you don't _need_ an IDE, I suggest vim or even emacs. I personally flip back and forth between Vim (80%) and PHPStorm (20%). lordali wrote: > > One-thing which is important to ask is. > Do we need to install Zend Frame on the Server/Shared Host in order my > projects to run? > Zend Server generally "installs" Zend Framework into your include_path on the server; however, I generally clear out the include path, keeping only the path to PEAR (for phpunit) so I can use the ZF from my project's "lib/vendor" directory. ----- -- Wil Moore III Why is Bottom-posting better than Top-posting: http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html DO NOT TOP-POST and DO trim your replies: http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php#toppost -- View this message in context: http://zend-framework-community.634137.n4.nabble.com/Noob-Questions-Please-help-tp3441523p3444710.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- List: [email protected] Info: http://framework.zend.com/archives Unsubscribe: [email protected]
