PHP framework without installation?

Question

PHP

Hello, please tell me a PHP framework without the need to install and organize a working environment.
It is necessary like this: There is a server (vps), there is access to it via SSH, etc. There is a domain and all that. At any time was to continue development. Like a normal website that is written in plain PHP.
As far as I understood, in case of Laravel etc. you can not do it this way. you need to deploy the environment, etc.

Answer 1

You can work with CodeIgniter without installation.

Answer 2

The process of "installation" is the unfolding of files into folders and changing the configs. You can manually upload the framework files to the server, and manually change the configs. Usually such manual work requires more time and attention than running the installer, but if you feel like it, you are welcome. Of course, you will have to smoke the documentation in order to understand how to configure it manually.
And yes, it will work with any framework.

Answer 3

You just need to install Composer, it usually doesn’t come in a box on a VPS, everything else is installed along with the demo version of isp manager. And then use it to install a framework - the same Laravel, Yii2, Symfony or whatever you want.

Answer 4

I would start with a goal: Do you need a framework to learn PHP or to create a project?
If it's just to learn PHP, you don't need any framework: just create PHP files and write a script (code) there.
If to create a project (or study a specific framework), then it is better to start from the tasks of the project and set (as it should be according to the requirements of the documentation!) The framework that: will cover all the tasks of the project and on which you can develop this project.
If you just understand the logic of working with the framework, then I advise you to master Fat-Free .

Answer 5

modern PHP frameworks are built using composer, and when installed, they collect all their dependencies into a single whole.
you can do it yourself and upload it to the server like a normal php site. sometimes I do this, especially when it turns out to be hosting without SSH
