Sorry for the last question.....things are started working now..... some files just haven't been copied in the library folder..... thanks

Thanks..... I have installed the "ZendFrameworkQuickstart" application on my XAMMP under the folder C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\Quickstart but when I run a http://localhost/Quickstart/public/ get the error..... Warning: require_once(Zend/Loader.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\Quickstart\public\index.php on line 12 Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Zend/Loader.php' (include_path='C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\Quickstart\application\/../library;.;C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear\') in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\Quickstart\public\index.php on line 12 I think I should change the htaccess and perhaps bootstrap but don't understand where and what path should I put????

I also try to install and try ZF but on XAMMP. In my httdocs I have plenty installed projects, but it seems that I cant configure the .htaccess file ??? .....eg I create a project in the following directory : C:\xampp\htdocs\Quickstart I have the below folders application <DIR> data <DIR> library <DIR> public <DIR> scripts Now ....where should I put the .htaccess file and what changes should I make to it?

Thanks .... will try it, Regarding this subject .... I would like to state the following..... I am still Not convinced that Framework will make my life easier..... I am overwhelmed by Wordpress which already make me to earn some money and to satisfy my client needs... Of course WP is not Framework but it is highly customisible and even can be used as CMS .... (not sure about e-commerce). So my question is ...... are there any Frameworks which can make me to develop a website with speed and clearness of WP in order to take me to higher step of programming? Another question (for gurus) do you always use Framework for very simple site (blog or company sites with simple backend)... or use some premade CMS?

Thank you gyes, I am convineced now that FW is a future for RAD PHP apps. I have small project (car rental app) which I will try to make with FW (which FW I havent desided yet). I saw similar extension for joomla but as a freelancer I would like to make it by my own...... So I would like to know (from your experience) which FW is better for small app with shallow learning curve. thanks:)

Hmm.... and What about the curve learning of each Framework, PHP Cake, CI Zend?

Thanks for so extended response:) So the next question would be...... Since every framework claims that by using it you can create every kind of application..... could you pls give some examples for which application it is better to use frameworks? in another words..... which framework it is better suited for which kind of app?

So..... when should I use an Framework?..... I think that for small projects (forums, multilingual website, forums etc) it is much more easier to setup and use packed software (joomla os comerse etc). Am I correct? As being amateur freelancer I dont think that big clients (such as e-banking) will ever assign me a job. May I assume that Framework will be useful as ground reference in very large and custom projects which will evolve a group of programmers? About the Dreamweaver I need to point out that as being a Visual person I like to see that I am designing and I haven't found (at least yet) this feature on another IDE. On the other hand it is very quick and efficient to write code in Neatbeans:)..... It would be nice to have these two features in one IDE Would be interested to hear your opinion:) would it be more ysier to I am not a professional web designer but I feel that

Hi, I am little bit confused after discovering PHP frameworks.. I would like to classify myself as a beginner PHP coder with few projects under my shoulders. I am just starting using OOP in PHP because none of my project required something sophisticated. I would say that 99% of my projects will be relatively simple CMS or Web Store (nothing which can not be done by Joomla or OsCommerce packages). Currently I have a project for a car hiring system which i would like to build with OOP. So my questions are:) : 1) Will PHP Framework make my life easy? 2) Which IDE is best for PHP coding.... I am using Dreamweaver for visual design and NetBeans for coding

I've look to com... there are a lot of options (some of them experimental), however I am not quite sure how can I implement one of those to resolve my problem.... ???

Thanks I will look into it, but if it is no trouble for you could you pls give me a very simple example on how can I raise an event so the desktop app can recognize it?

Hi, I was wondering if someone now how to trigger windows application from PHP. For example I am running XAMPP on my computer, then creating a text file with php in "htdocs/blabla" I want a windows application (created with Borland) to be Triggered by that event and then read that file and erase it. Till now I put a timer in Windows Application so it can check the file existence in current folder every 1sec (which is memory consuming)... is there any other way to do it?
