Frameworks

Post by Squegg »

Are there any newer up and coming frame works which we should keep our eyes open for?

Why are you looking for new frameworks? What's wrong with what's out there already?

Symphony2 was released this year, and Zend Framework 2 will be release later this year. Others I'm not interested in, personally.

Okay, I have PHP game website that uses mySQL and a little jQuery and it runs okay, but I’m writing everything from scratch and it taking a long time to do anything. I don’t really think I need a full CMS, but I’m starting to look at various frameworks like CodeIgnitor etc.

What I really need is something to provide user administration, forums, website mail, other plug-in modules etc. so that I can focus on the key elements of the game rather than trying to re-invent the wheel.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,

Steve

Solana_Steve - sounds like you want a full stack framework like Cake or Symfony.

Can you briefly explain what is a "full stack framework"? Which frameworks would be included in that list?

If you code with CodeIngnitor or Kahana, can you easily merge stuff like forums/discussion board, mail etc. right in?

Does Symphony or Cake just provide all those feature from the start? But what do I lose? are Cake and Symphony good ones to start with?


Thanks,

Steve

Full-stack implies that the components of the frameworks are more closely coupled to provide a complete application solution in the style preferred by the framework builders. More loosely coupled frameworks assume you will organize your application in the style you prefer.
