Well, PHP was certainly a frustrating choice.
- lukifer 15y agoSome of us still use (and like) PHP, thank you very much. Nothing wrong with targeting a niche.
- goodside 15y agoIf it actually required PHP, or was somehow particularly useful to PHP users, or was even just identified on the website as a "PHP/CSS framework", that'd make sense. This isn't targeting a niche, it's firing a rifle blindfolded and hitting your neighbor's niche.

- zurbmatt 15y agoAgreed, but we really wanted people to be able to unzip somewhere on their document root and go. PHP is already installed just about everywhere, and assuming that you already have Apache running it will just work. All that said, we are only using PHP for includes, and it's trivial to switch these out with what ever language you end up using for implantation. In our case it's just replacing include with Rails render partial.
- rhizome31 15y agoI couldn't find on the website how exactly they use PHP. Does a website need to be coded in PHP to use Foundation?
- goodside 15y agoNo, it doesn't, which is probably why nothing on the site even mentions PHP. Nonetheless, when you download Foundation it's presented PHP files that do just enough in the way of conditional server-side includes to scare away people that don't know PHP and don't want to have to unravel it out to try out a new CSS framework. That's why it's frustrating.
