snype Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hey Guys Looking for some help in structuring the architecture for a new online PHP project that I’m planning/documenting. I have just landed a project management position and though that someone might have some ideas on how to tackle this. Using PHP 5 and mysql. Basically I’m asking is what the best method is for creating a large complicated system as far as cutting work loads down. IE it will need a user system, hence it would make sense to use an open source user system rather than build one from scratch. I have had significant experience in developing large scale php project. In a perfect would I would plan it from scratch but I need a more intelligent solution. A basic outline of the system. It is quite unique and I can’t point to a site that would be similar. - Have 3 levels of users. 2 of which required subscription. Using pay pals subscription service - User will be able to submit listing. IE classified adds style. - User can also have a shop that list their listing and have a shopping cart interface. - Needs to be an interface for a user to configure their shop. - Needs to be a global admin interface. In any case much of it will need to be custom built. Hence I would like to use a model separating the interface and programming logic. Also some sort of database management system rather than just using mysql calls as well as a user management system. What is the best method? Is there a preexisting system that is set up ready for large scale project. IE with a user system, db manager and some form of architecture? Is it worth using pear or something similar? Or design from scratch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I would look into Zend or Kohana as both support DB abstraction and provice ACL management. Finding a PayPal component for Zend (or Kohana) won't be hard either but as it's not part of the official Zend distro I would suggest writing your own or at least ask sufficient advise concerning the subject as this is your main source of income and should be near error-free. The project looks easy enough IMO with these components in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
