I'm a little confused as to what a framwork is?...

Is it just a bunch of classes that make php run differently dependant on the framework you ar eusing ... of rexample instead of having to write aclass to validate a form... if i use ruby ion the rails framwork they already have a class to do that?...

I am using a shared server with apache with php5 installed... am i using a framwork?.. and if so what one?

A PHP framework is a range of classes, usually utilising such object oriented programming techniques as inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation to provide a code base in which can be used as the core of an application.

 

It will provide advantages, such as recycling (reusing) code, higher database portability, and generally reducing the overheads involved in creating medium to large applications... etc etc.

 

 

You won't be using a framework unless you had to install one yourself, and this is very unlikely.
