title: Do you need to have a very good knowledge of PHP before diving into frameworks (like Zend, CakePHP)?
body: <p>I'm asking this in comparison with Javascript and jQuery. I was able to learn jQuery with only a basic understanding of Javascript (but I am continually learning Javascript while using jQuery).</p>
  
  <p>Is it the same for PHP and its frameworks? Can I start to dive into a framework with only a basic knowledge of PHP (and then learn PHP (as it is) along the way)? Or do I need to have an in-depth knowledge of PHP before starting with frameworks?</p>
