To Zend or not to Zend

[lenocin]

I try to add something new (skills wise) with each now project, and got a new one possibly coming up.

One thing I never got to (did not even look into it one bit) is Zend. The "definition" make it sound awesome, but I do no see many questions here regarding Zend. Either it's not widely used (there must be a reason for that) or it's so easy and good, there's no reason for asking for help. (I doubt that).

Any comments / suggestions?

For now I plan to just as usual do my own thing by pushing OOP as far possible in PHP which worked perfectly fine for me in the last few projects.

Zend is the organisation who support PHP. The interpreter is known as the Zend Engine.


Could you be a bit more specific about what you mean by the term 'Zend'?

Sorry for the confusion (again)
Actually I realize now you can use the Zend framework without using Zend IDE (I tried the IDE, but seems to slow down my whole computer?)

I guess I meant using the Zend Framework
