PHP Frameworks?

[bdude]

Does anyone here use PHP frameworks like CakePHP or CodeIgniter? I've been taking a look at CodeIgniter, it is quite well done. I think it's good to have so many tedious jobs already programmed in, as well as preprogrammed libraries for more complicated things.

I have no experience with such terchnologies - indeed, this is the first time i've heard of them. But from looking at their websites I believe that sduch frameworks are, while good for the rookie programmer, limiting as-soon as you need an feature more advanced that it isn't designed to handle.

Would that be like Ruby on Rails? a framework

You don't install PHP.. you code PHP-based pages.. unless you're using those programs listed above, of course

Personally I haven't tried any PHP frameworks.. you might want to ask Chris (when he gets back) or Bryon about that

Well, to get back on topic..

I never have personally used them, but then again, I haven't really had the need to use one/any of them.

Well, sounds good. This year I've been learning ASP.NET, and it's really really quick to build a website. When coming back to PHP, I noticed that I spent more time writing trivial things. I think that a Framework is needed for PHP. A common framework would be great!

The two main ones are CakePHP and codeigniter, CodeIgniter is easier for the beginner programmer while CakePHP is more for the experienced programmer
