I have a hosted account.
I have WHM and cpanel access and have installed the Zend Guard.
I have extracted the Zend Framework files into my root directory.
Does this mean i am able to use the ZEND framework now ?
If not how do i install it. I am new to all of this.
Kind regards
Zend Framework is just a collection of PHP classes, it doesn't need "installation" as such. So yes, if you've put the files in your directory, you can use the framework.
You only need Zend Guard if your applications are encoded using it - this isn't related to Zend Framework in any way (except being made by the same company).

In my company, we have almost all the systems running on classic asp with the logic layer in dlls made by vb6. We use sql server and it's used via stored procedures.
Recently I found how easy is to connect to a procedure using entity framework, and we are trying to avoid the usage of vb6, and for tests purposes, i create a project in .net similar to the ones we use in vb6 with entity framework connecting to the procedure, and generating the tbl and using regAsm to register the dll, I could use it in the classic asp, but when i try to access the method that access the procedure, it gives me the return:
No connection string named 'xEntities' could be found in the application config file.
Where xEntities is the name of my context.
We can't migrate everything to the asp.net because of the time, but it will be very good if we stop using vb6.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Have you tried creating a web.config file with the appropriate Entity Framework sections in your web site folder? It is possible to have a web.config in a folder with an ASP Classic web site.
I have been playing around with this:
https://my.phpcloud.com/container/create
Unless you have a dev account the link above will not work.
What I am confused about is adding the Zend Framework here.
The choices for a container are:
Zend Server 5.6 – PHP 5.3
Zend Server 5.6 – PHP 5.4
Zend Server NextGen Sneak Peek
How do I create a empty container with Zend framework configured?
The container is the environment where your files will be hosted. Working projects will be applications inside the container. You can deploy a Zend Framework project to the container, after creating it. It is similar to how we deploy a software in a server.
To create a container with Zend Framework application in it :
Create a container with any one of the choices: Zend Server 5.6 – PHP 5.3, Zend Server 5.6 – PHP 5.4, or Zend Server NextGen Sneak Peek
After the container is provisioned, go to your container overview page, which looks like - https://my.phpcloud.com/container/yourcontainername/overview and click "New Application".
While creating the new application, you have options to pick a empty Zend Framework application. See the manual here
I'm not that familiar with phpcloud but I think you may be confusing Zend Framework and Zend Server. These are two very different things. Zend Framework doesn't really require installation as such, it's just a collection of PHP classes. I would guess that ZF is normally uploaded with the apps that you put on the cloud.
Our organization builds web applications using PHP/Informix.
Currently we do not have any frameworks and use our own libraries and modules.
Now we set up a new apache web server so that we could install and configure a framework where all brand new web applications can be developed.
I was thinking of setting up the Zend Framework.(Will it go with informix backend?). I have googled and looked around for information , but I thought would get some expert opinions from the experts here.
I need some advice as how to go about from scratch the correct way.
Installing,configuring,setting up a version control and writing a script to test all basic MVC features.
Any suggestions and references would be helpful.
If you are using Informix Dynamic Server as your backend, then yes you can use Zend Framework's native database classes and adapter for communicating with your Informix server.
Your requirements will be that PHP must be compiled with PDO support (enabled by default since PHP 5.1). You then need to download, compile, and install the PDO_IBM Pecl package.
In order to successfully build the PDO_IBM extension, you must have the DB2 client (9.1+) installed on your system already. When you compile the extension module, you must tell it the path to where those files are installed.
More information on PDO_IBM, and Zend_Db_Adapter talks a little bit about the available adapters (including PDO_IBM).
There is also a Pecl package PDO_INFORMIX for talking to Informix servers, but Zend_Db does not support this package. You will only be able to use Zend_Db_Adapter with PDO_IBM to communicate with IDS servers.
Hope that helps.
Anybody know of any hosting companies with european servers that support the zend framework?
Any host that supports recent version of PHP will suffice; Zend Framework is just a collection of PHP classes.
I have been using zend framework quite a long. Now I want to integrate doctrine orm framwork with zend. I don't know how to do that. Is there any setup guide with some basic examples? and How can I put it on shared host where i don't have console access?
thanks in advance
There's various resources around.
Benjamin Eberlei's zf-doctrine (Zend 1 / Doctrine 1) Integration suite - https://github.com/beberlei/zf-doctrine
I also just got this webinar announcement in the Zend newsletter (requires a free Zend account to view) - http://www.zend.com/webinar/Framework/70170000000bSrG-webinar-zf-v-1-doctrine-v-2-20101214.flv
Regarding deployment, you just build your project locally then upload the complete application to your host. Both Zend Framework and Doctrine are just libraries of PHP files.
