wasifkhan007 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hi, I am new to PHP & MYSQL, but have been developing for over 18 years. Cobol then VB and than Lotus Domino. I have downloaded Netbeans IDE and have been playing around with PHP and MYSQL. Pretty standard.. no issues and have been successful in developing code. My question and guide I need in is: 1. Best Practices (Developing Reusable Code/Classes 2. What frameworks are available to develop UI (I am hoping that, old days of hard code HTML is replaced with frameworks) 3. Netbean is good IDE, but do not have WYSYWIG UI development... I am just starting to duplicate an application that I wrote in Lotus Notes/Domino and have started to find out the simple things that were native in that environment require hard coding... I am sure that there are options. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/217991-new-to-php-seeking-help-with-frameworksui/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 1) You should be able to apply the same principles as any other language. 2) UI has nothing to do with php. 3) WYSIWYG doesn't work with web development. Not well anyway. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/217991-new-to-php-seeking-help-with-frameworksui/#findComment-1131354 Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilinc Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 regarding frameworks, if you want to code the hard way, try the MVC framework namely, CakePHP, if you want it a little simpler, again try the MVC framework namely, Code Igniter. i prefer MVC because it doesnt clutter ur code into one file making it hard to read.....mVC stands for Model View Controller, where models are files for database interaction, controller files are where you write the logic of your application, and views are the files where you just bother about how to present those data that you have to the user.....a designer can handle views too....

ignace Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Using MVC for the reason "it doesnt clutter ur code" will turn around and haunt you. You use an approach because it best suits the project and CakePHP and CodeIgniter are PHP4 which "died" a few years ago. Suggested frameworks would be: Symfony, Zend framework, or Kohana but I prefer the former 2.
