If you go with a framework over pure PHP, CodeIgniter is a good framework to start with and maybe stick with. I would not dive into the Zend Framework because you just beginning, but it's there if you want to play with it. Get the extras, too: php-5.3-extra-extensions-zend-server, phpmyadmin-zend-server, zend-server-framework-dojo, zend-server-framework-extras. sudo su -Īnd then the commands they provide will work for you, too. (Because their shell commands begin with #) To become root. And notice that their instructions assume that you are logged in as the root user. If you follow the Zend Community Edition link, above, you will find detailed instructions that work very well with minimal effort. Bkzland answered the question directly, but I would like to offer you a different solution for local Web development with LAMP on Ubuntu with Zend Community Edition - a little boost if you want it because you are just starting.
