Best PHP-Based AJAX Framework
Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2008 11:30 pm
Can anyone recommend a stable, most popular, cross-platform PHP-based AJAX framework for making fancy web controls like treeviews that download childnodes from the web and other kinds of fancy web controls? I've seen some neat frameworks out there, but they seem to be Ruby and Python based and my clients want only PHP solutions.
I'm a PHP/MySQL freelancer (did PHP for 5 years, but in December I went out on my own full-time). Last year I started doing AJAX and advanced Javascript stuff (treeviews and fancy menus that work in *all* browsers), but so far it's been a pain to keep up with all the new browser changes and all this time I spend testing really sucks away from my profit. It's time for me to use a framework. I have learned that JQuery is becoming like the defacto standard, and I intend to use it, but when I have a need for drag and drop, fancy treeviews, and things like that, I may need an AJAX solution.
