steelmanronald06 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Right, I'm building a social type site. Custom error/session handling, ACL system, strong security, backend and frontend system, database driven, etc. So, I know a framework would best help me in building this wide-scale site. Can anyone tell me what framework I should use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 ZF would facilitate all of that. Cake too. Personally I like ZF a lot better, but it's really more a matter of preference. Code Ignitor doesn't have an ACL component, but you can enable it to use ZF components if you feel ZF is 'a bit much'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmanronald06 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 would you suggest using a framework for a project of this size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Zend Framework? Yep. It's perfectly usable already, but they're approaching RC1 too. Current list of components: Authentication & Authorization * Zend_Acl * Zend_Authentication * Zend_Session Core Infrastructure * Zend_Cache, Zend_Config, Zend_Console_Getopt, Zend_Log, Zend_Memory * Zend_Debug, Zend_Environment, Zend_Loader, Zend_Registry, Zend_Version * Zend_Filter, Zend_Validate Databases * Zend_Db * Zend_Db_Table * Zend_Db_Profiler * Zend_Db_Select * Zend_Db_Xml Documentation * Improved correctness, readability, and more examples * Additional coverage by translation teams * Web application development tutorial Internationalization (i18n) & Localization (l10n) * Zend_Date * Zend_Locale * Zend_Measure * Zend_Translate Mail, Formats, & Search * Zend_Json, Zend_Pdf * Zend_Mail, Zend_Mime * Zend_Search_Lucene Model-View-Controller (MVC) * Zend_Controller, Zend_Controller_Action, Zend_Controller_Dispatcher, Zend_Controller_Plugin, Zend_Controller_RewriteRouter, Zend_View * Zend_Http_Request, Zend_Http_Response Web & Web Services * Consuming services: Zend_Feed, Zend_Rest_Client, Zend_Service, Zend_XmlRpc_Client, Zend_Gdata, Zend_Http_Client * Exposing services: Zend_Http_Server, Zend_Rest_Server, Zend_Server_Documentor, Zend_Server_Reflection, Zend_Soap_Server, Zend_XmlRpc_Server * Zend_Uri would you suggest using a framework for a project of this size? Sure. It will save you a lot of time and headaches. Personally I have my own core, which can use component from other frameworks (currently only ZF though).

steelmanronald06 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 hmmm...frameworks are so complex though. I don't understand the first thing about OOP/MVC. i know basic OOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 personally i'd put forward CakePHP at this stage, as it also has support for ACL but the framework in general is fairly easy to use following a bit of patience (and their manual is pretty good too). It's tried and trusted and already reached release. A while back there was a post made here with a link I bookmarked - maybe worth taking a look at: http://www.phpizabi.net/ hope that helps!
