Does using a PHP framework (CodeIgniter, Zend) require special server side setup? And if yes, is there a PHP framework which doesn't require that?The intention would be to use a hosting server which supports plain PHP only (no framework installed - if that makes sense), and use the mentioned framework on the development machine only, which would then be preprocessed ("compiled") into plain PHP.[Edit]To all you guys: sorry for the newbie question, I guess I got it wrong. I have only worked in .NET so far, and I haven't done anything from scratch in PHP yet. For this small project I am supposed to do, I wanted to learn and use CodeIgniter, as it seems like a light MVC framework where I can get results quickly.Before starting, I wanted to check with the hosting provider (from which my customer has already bought a year of hosting) said they only support Zend. So, I guess that's nonsense then?[Edit 2]To make my question complete, here is what their hosting package provides:
A: We support Zend, but not CodeIgniterNow I am aware that the question itself is a bit dumb, so I might contact them again.
- PHP 5 or PHP 4
- Perl
- CGI
- Python
- Tomcat / JSP Tomcat 5.5.9 / Servlet 2.4 / JSP 2.0
- FrontPage extensions
- Ruby On Rails
- PHP / Zend optimizer
- PHP / IonCube
- Fantastico
- DB: MySQL Server 5, PostgreSQL Server 8
