Thanks for the info...
Also, I dont get where the discussion of paid CMS came in from? I dont get why people would by a CMS when there are so many that are free.
I wouldve up voted some answers but I dont think such a feature is present in the forum?
In any case, I've decided to go with drupal right now... Primarily because:
- I believe that the front end can be quite fast
- Apparently it is built with developers in mind and note designers (unlike wordpress)
- A lot of modules, etc
- I realize that I want to add a feature for reviews, comments, etc and thus having a cms would be quite helpful
- As a programmer and a freelancer, it would prove to be useful to learn a CMS
What I basically mean by front-end being fast is that my target audince will likely not have very fast internet connections, so I need the web page to be light and open quickly...
In any case, I am learning drupal right now. Should have quite an understanding of it in about a week and then if it proves to be unsuitable for me, will go for codegniter, but most likely will be using drupal..

Was hoping for a recommendation..
I am a junior/med level programmer.. Do a bunch of small web-development projects mainly in php with codeigniter framework.
I've got a web app idea which I've decided to develop myself and trying to decide on a cms to use (if to use one at all).
Basically I am trying to make a site like pricegrabber.com, which parses a number of websites for items and their prices and lists them.
I dont like wordpress, it's slow, really boring to learn, and overkill for what I am trying to do. Speed (for the frontend) is of quite importance.
so basically, should I use a cms? if so, should I go for a codeigniter based cms (like egypt cms) or some other more popular one (like drupal? or joomla?). I guess codeigniter cms would be better for me since I am already skilled in codeigniter, but other major cms would have greater support and many other advantages? I think?

hey guys..
im learning php atm, and decided to become a member of this site since i will probably be doing a decent amount of php in the future inshAllah, and when ur active in something, its always helpful to be an active member in a forum related to that "something"...
anyways, im doing a practice project in php (making a forum), and trying do decide on a mechanism to keep a user logged in. ive created a user class, through which a user is authenticated (on sign in) and all future user account related operations will be through that class (i.e user related info retrival, when a user makes a post/comment, etc)
to keep a user logged in, the easiest path seemed to be to use session and store the user object in a session (not cookies since that would be a security risk), but after doing some reaserch i found out that sessions can but a huge load on a system, specially if large amounts of data is saved in them.
im thinking a second alternative would be to save only the user id, but that would mean on each page i will have to rebuild the user object, which i guess would again put a significant load on the server.
what is the best method to use, whether it be an alternative to using session altogether, or an alternative implementation?
thanks in advance

Thanks guys,
but another great inclination for me to use drupal is that I only know 1 frame work (codeigniter) and no CMS... A programmer (specially a freelancer) should know ATLEAST one cms...
So now this will help me expand my expertise as well as get a website done ...
Plus from what I've learned so far, it is much more durable for me to learn than wordpress. Wordpress just seemed to have a million simple features which made it extremely boring to learn....
