darklight Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I'm looking for a PHP Framework, one that supports AJAX. I will be using it to create my PHP text style game. I'm just looking for something simple, something to help me get it done faster. I was looking at CakePHP, but their are so many frameworks that I don't know what one to go with. Let's make this easy, what one would you choose for making a PHP game? I also need it so I can upload it to my host, so it can't be a local framework.

keeB Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 You really need to explain what you want other than 'get the job done faster' What job? I REQUIRE A RECIPE!!! Asian food? NO IT MUST HAVE SUGAR!!! A pumpkin pie? See how ridiculous that conversation is?

darklight Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 -.- What PHP/AJAX framework would you recommend that's a non-blog type of framework. Something that can make the PHP source file smaller. Like, make a link with $html->link("link here"); I really don't know what to ask.

tippy_102 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 darknight - sounds like you are just trying to be difficult. I suggest you have a closer look at http://modxcms.com/ - If you looked into it, you would know it is not for blogging.

keeB Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 tippy, obviously he wants to do zero work and give us zero insight in to what he wants to do. so, i've decided to give him zero help.

I suggest you have a closer look at http://modxcms.com/ - If you looked into it, you would know it is not for blogging. I did, I've downloaded and installed it. It installed blogging software... I guess I will try to use CakePHP since no one seems to understand what I'm asking...even if it's something simple I'm asking. o_O Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/109320-looking-for-a-php-framework/#findComment-561608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I just started using CakePHP after trying a bunch and I like it. They were making a good point. keeB's analogies were dead on. It's hard to make a specific recommendation based on the requirements you gave. I personally don't think a framework makes your site smaller, it makes it LARGER as you need all their files. I also don't think they make anything faster at first because you have to learn all this new code. But in the long run they can help, and I am enjoying delving into CakePHP.

TravisJRyan Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Give Zend Framework a try, word has it they are partnering with dojo javascript framework, so your ajax app may be really simple with that one.

keeB Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think it would be awesome if you could write a little article on how learning CakePHP is going, jesirose. I think it would give some people good insight on what an experience developer can accomplish.

TravisJRyan Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Cake is pretty sweet. I used to for several simple apps in the past but most recently got into ZF obviously from all the plugs I have been giving it. Promise ill quit. . haha. It really is an easy framework to learn, but cakePHP is just as easy, tab bit slower from what I have read.
