Cause noobs can't figure out htaccess... if I give most people a script that requires editing an htaccess file they can't figure it out. Much less httpd.conf, if they even have access to it. I would also love to do play with the PEAR junk but that's not very migratable either.

What are you having problems with specifically? It should work out of the box.

Worked right out of the box on my Shared Hosting server, but required a little bit of configuration on my Apache server I am running on my PC. Not a real big deal... it was pretty simple. So far, I am REALLY liking cakephp.

I think they also did a really good job, and really enjoyed working with that framework. My only real concern is that the views are technically views, considering their views were the actual template files and required your logic (such as escaping) to be put into the html itself.

Robert Plank - from what I just read on their site, you can turn off mod_rewrite... so dude... hop on the band wagon if you want to. I just eliminated your reasoning for not using it.

I was installing it anyway. I have it running. Except if I go http://www.example.com/cake it tells me the app can't be found... if I add a trailing slash at the end it works. (???)

Try codeigniter.org.

Much easier to work with and much more suitable for smaller to medium projects then cakephp. Oh, and it kicks ass too.

The demo movie from codeigniter looks pretty cool. Looks almost like playing with lego, putting something together with a few blocks in almost no time.

I watched those movies too, pretty cool, I'm not too crazy about being able to put PHP code in the view, or having a billion folders, but the other frameworks do that so I can definitely live with it. I like CI better than Cake.

CI uses 'loose MVC', meaning you're not bound to use View unless you want to.

Isn't this the Apache behaviour by default?

Is it? How do you get it to work without a trailing slash then?

mine is actually really easy to work with, fast, good but it's proprietary. i hear that cake is awesome but it's not as fast.

make sure to check out Code Igniter :D
