Hi all, In the .NET world a web application can be displayed in a users language by detecting their "Regional and Language Settings" on their Windows OS and then using this to localize the content. Is this possible in a PHP/Javascript application? I couldn't find any way to do this online. Any thoughts? PHP Dev

Thank you Vikela, Can you explain what you mean by 'trick scenario'? Do you mean you think my planned project will be a tricky one? Your recommendation for Kohana is interesting, I think that is a branch of Code Ignitor (or maybe Cake). Is it more advanced and user friendly than Code Ignitor? More comments from the community are most welcome. PHP Dev

I want to write an application with PHP / MySQL I would appreciate your thoughts on any frameworks that might be suitable to fullfill the following requirements: [*]Security is the number one concern. [*]Scalability is important, thousands of users but I would like to allow for larger expansion (optimistic I know! ). [*]The website needs to be 100% localisable. I want to support four languages initially and have the ability to add more later. It would be ideal to get the language set by reading the users regional and language settings. To facilitate localisation I think all text content should be stored in the database. [*]Users will register on the website using a method like PHPFreaks uses. The user enters an email address and a mail is sent to that address with an activation link. [*]The website will use jQuery for the UI. I have some experience in PHP but would not consider myself an expert by any means! I considered Concrete5 but I heard it might be vulnerable to attacks (SQL injestion?). I don't need a CMS as I prefer to update the content manually. I also didn't like the enormous amount of files that Concrete5 generated, my site will only have about 8 pages and I only need to record users data, nothing complicated. Basically I need a framework, not a CMS. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. PHP Dev 101
