Zend is the company that makes PHP, PHP runs on the Zend scripting engine, this has nothing to do with the Zend framework (though the same company produces that).

 

What framework you should use is up to you.

If you're just using PHP out of the box, you're not using a framework.

Thanks Nightslyr... is a framework basically a list of functions that make it easier to do things?

At the most basic level, yes.  Most frameworks are more than just a series of helper functions, however.  Many form the underpinning of web applications, allowing the coder to focus on the custom work that lies on top of the framework.
