Framework or not to Framework?

[NeNe]

Hello all,

 

I have seen the forum board name and think that this community will be great for support and feedback for my uni project.

 

I have been tasked to solve a problem, I want to sort a paper based system. What I mean is to create a paperless environment. And provide an electronic easy to use system and provide customers with access to logon an view certs and print them if needed, a "Request Formal Copy" button is also an idea.

 

I am new to PHP but am a quick learner. I have to create a calendar based system with an FTP .pdf GUI interface to download certs and other docs. Users should be able to do the following;

 

Change House theme / fonts

amend / add / remove - calendar events

FTP GUI download option

Secure HTTPS logon

 

What framework if any, should I base my project on.

 

Oh I have no problem ref resource I will use my dedicated server with WHM or rent with Hostgator.com

 

I hope this post follows forum rules, if it does not I apologize. Any help would be appreciated

 

Regards,

 

Neil

Sounds like a framework is a good choice for you. A good framework will take most of the work out of your project.

 

Check out CodeIgniter, it is pretty beginner friendly and has awesome documentation.
