As far as the Zend framework goes, the one thing I don't like about it is that it is just way to big. Sure it has a lot of features but personally I don't think I would hardly need a lot of them. It also has other issues too including a steep learning curve from what I here. I might also try building a blog with Zend for testing but it is not high on my list of things to look at.
As far as what I want the framework for. I basically just want a solid foundation in which I can build website/web applications off of. One important things for me (not sure how important it is for my company) is performance. From what I have heard, Yii has pretty efficient code compared to frameworks like Zend or Symfony (which I here is a kind of slow framework as far as performance). You can have all the features in the world but if you are not efficient then it does not matter much to me. I am just trying to find a framework with a good balance of efficiency and performance and something that does not seem like it is going to see like it is going to die off in the next year (of course no one can truly predict the future)..

Well I am stopping the development of my PHP Framework as I think I have learned everything I wanted to from it and I really don't have the time to continue and maintain the development of it. So I am looking into a framework I want to focus all my attention to (I also need to evaluate framework for work). Yii is one that has come up that looks pretty good. It seems to have pretty good features, good performance, and for being around only 14 months (when the first official released happened back in Dec of 2008) is has a pretty good user base. Does anyone have any experience using this framework?
I am probably going to be testing a few frameworks this weekend creating a simple blog and see how good development is with each of them along with performance tests. The frameworks I think I will be testing are CakePHP, Symfony, and Yii, anyone think I should be testing any others.

NOTE: I posted this last night but now it is gone. If someone is going to delete it again, please pm me and let me know why.
I have been developing a framework for the past 3 years now (even tho the first year and a half it was really just a collect of a few classes) and it has transformed itself into a pretty usable MVC framework (at least for me). I am at a point with the framework where I feel good about releasing it to the public and getting whatever feedback I can on it. You can download it at www.elegantmvcorg. On that page, along with the download, you will find a set of videos that should help you get started with the framework, I hope to get a video on models up soon (by this weekend at the latest). If you can, please download and try out the framework and give me any feedback you can (was it too hard to setup, a missing feature you think should be there, a bug you found, etc...). Please send feedback to feedback@elegantmvc.com. I will be updating this post as I make changes to the framework or upload new videos.

Hah, oh dear.
And not an internet company? What's the .NET framework all about then?
Um, the .NET framework has nothing specifically to do with the internet or networking programming (even tho you can do both with it), it is just the name of there newest general platform framework.

The way I look at it is that would you say that a image I create in Photoshop a secured piece of work? Techincally when I release my framework, I am not releasing the php software in binary or source form, I am just releasing the source php runs.
-
I guess i will wait to hear back from the php group. I guess I will in the meantime try to figure out another good name
-
I am getting ready to release my first publicly available alpha version of my framework and have a question about naming. I know in the PHP license it states:
"Products derived from this software may not be called "PHP", nor may "PHP" appear in their name, without prior written permission from group@php.net"
This only refers to products that actually use the PHP source in source or binary form, correct? That framework does not include the PHP,it only uses PHP to work which means I could not have to get permission from group@php.net to include PHP in the name of my framework? I know there are a number frameworks that use PHP in their name like CakePHP but not sure if there did get permission. Just asking what people know about the license, not asking for real lawyer advice.
I did send an email to group@php.net but really want to get this first alpha out A.S.A.P.

No, Apache takes care of the processes under windows.
Still, I wouldn't be using Windows as a server environment if I had the choice.
Well neither would I but I have to use Windows for the server for another program (that can't be run under a VM).
-
It must run on Windows. Windows uses a multi threading architecture as opposed to the multi process architecture of Linux. This means that many php extensions (which where originally developed with Linux in mind) are not safe to run on IIS's native ISAPI. This means PHP should be installed and ran as a CGI (and now FastCGI) extension.
Does this mean I would suffer the same issue if running Apache and PHP under Windows?
-
One disadvantage to IIS is that you're running it on Windows. Bad-um-tish!
Nice one.
I am just trying to find some good reasons to use apache with php (on windows). I have more experience with apache and don't really feel like learn another server, I also hear that mod rewrites are a pain in the ass with IIS.
-
What are the advantages and disadvantages of running PHP on Apache vs IIS?
-
Now I know I can use the © and ™ marks without having to register anything with the government, the only symbol I can't use is ®, but is it really worth while to spend the money of registering a name for open source software. I am building a PHP framework and set of jQuery plugins and I am currently housing them under the same project name. Just wondering what I really gain by registering the trademark.

Is there a list somewhere of all the functions that are going to be removed in PHP 6? I know it is listed in each function page on the PHP website but is there a list of all of them on one page?
I know PHP 6 is probably at least a year or year and a have away but I want to make sure My PHP framework, which is only works on PHP 5.3+, is going to be as compatible with PHP 6 as possible.

Does anyone know of any good hosting companies that allow you to host PHP 5.3? At list point in time I would much rather not go the route of a VPS because 1. They tend to be a bit more expensive and 2. Shared hosting would work for use right now but IF i have to do VPS to get PHP 5.3 I guess I will.

Well if you are getting the benefits that google offers and don't expect to be working harder that most than you are crazy. They basically provide with wil almost everything you need, the goal being you can work better (and more) for them. It is no the working environment for everyone.
As far as getting into the gaming industry, the best way I think is to try to break in on your own (or with some friends). Getting into a big established company is pretty hard (Like Blizzard or EA) and chances are you will be doing a lot of the crappy work for quite some time. Go alone or a small group of people allows you do do things your way and you wont be doing only grunt work.

well fantomel said he (or she) understood the thoery behind how the MVC pattern works. If that is true then I recommend building your own (and you should know a bit about OOP too). If not then yes, you will not be able to build a good MVC framework.
-
As has been mentioned however, learning and using a good framework will give you a much clearer picture in the long run.
I would have to disagree with this statement. I think that 95% of the time you are going to learn a lot more form building something on your own that using an existing framework, library, whatever. If someone wants to truly learn about the MVC pattern and how it is implemented, I would always recommend building a MVC framework from scratch. That is want I did and so happy I did it that way. By coding it yourself you are not only going to learn what works but also what doesn't and I think that is even more important. You are also going to learn different way of doing things where f you using a implemented framework, you are going to learn how 1 project did it.
Now don't except that your first attempt (or first few attempts) are going to work great because chances are they won't but if you keep at it you should be able to build a small MVC framework. Also, the core code for a MVC framework it also not that bigger so don't look at something like the Zend framework and think you have to create that amount of code for a MVC framework, a lot of it it just bells and whistle that are optional.

Depend on what I am doing. Generally yes I do but if i am working on a very hard problem, I might turn it off to think a little better.

One way around this, and it is not full proof, if to make sure you are sending the request as POST and to pass a specific variable with it. So with the ajax call, you make sure that specific variable is include but if it is not (like a user trying to access that page directly), just kill the script, give a message, redirect, whatever you want. Even if they find out the variable that needs to be passed (and looking at the javascript, they can), they still can't easily simulate a POST request from the browser (and with the number of firefox plug-ins, maybe there is).
Just an idea if you really want to try to prevent this.

When I played SC1 and D2 battlenet was free... Is this not the case anymore?
I am sure it is still true. But that does not mean that D3 will be free to play online...I mean I bet they will make it a subscription service.
If they make Diablo 3 a online subscription service, then I will not be playing Diablo 3 online. I highly doubt they will do this unless Diablo 3 was an MMO (which it is not). Battle.net has always been free and I hope Dablo 3 with be onl battle.net and also free to play online like Diablo 2.
This goes the same for starcraft 2, I hope.

For the most part, quirks mode will only be activated if you do not specify a DOCTYPE or specify an invalid one. If you always give a valid one then you don't have to worry (except if you for peculiar reasons would like to use HTML 3.2).
The second question is, is there a way to force IE7 to always veiw my pages in standard block?
I suppose you mean the box model. It's not really possible because it's simply IE that's doing it wrong though. Using a reset stylesheet, and perhaps using ie7-js, helps a lot though.
Sorry I actually meant for IE7 into standards mode vs Quirks mode but you answered that question.
-
I am build a Web application and I don't plan on supporting IE6 at all (I dill development and test in IE7/8 and then when I am done I will look to se how much work to get it to work in IE 6) however I have a question about how IE 7 Quirks mode works. One thing I am using the IE7 supports and IE6 does not is the :first-child css selector. However this only works in IE7 Standard mode not is IE7 Quirks modes. My first question is what forces IE7 into quirks mode? The second question is, is there a way to force IE7 to always veiw my pages in standard block?

if you think that is bad, you should see some of the old tabled based html markup code I used to work with.
Which Framework would you choose and why?

I have been looking through through PHP frameworks and these are probably my top 6 based on both popularity and my personal preferences. I am going to be going through all of them building a blog to see which one I like best but I figure I would ask this question. If you had to choose 1 of these 6 frameworks to work with, which one would it be? Also if you want, tell me why you choose the one you did or why you didn't pick a particular framework.
