Hello:
I know there are a few PHP developers out there, so I wanted to throw
this out in case it's of any use to anyone.
I just recently started on a project with a friend, and I was looking
for PHP libraries or something that would provide for rapid development.
Everything I've either done, or attempted has been straight PHP, with
nothing making this easier. I stumbled into some PHP frameworks, and
started playing with Code Igniter(http://codeigniter.com).
I like this framework for a few reasons. First, it's well structured,
easy to use and the documentation is amazing. The people on their IRC
channel are really helpful. I can not vouch for the forums, but it seems
to be a pretty solid community. Second, it relies heavily on the MVC
pattern(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller).
This means that you can keep your code separated and it's not such a
hastle to modify a currently working site. This is especially useful,
because I always had numerous PHP islands in my HTML where I would have
to use a few lines, sometimes a lot more than I liked to dynamically
load content. I also like the ease of extensibility and the way that the
libraries are laid out; they make it extremely easy to work your code
around.
I know there are other frameworks out there, and I can not honestly say
to much either for or against others. This was the first one I sat down
with, and I was quickly working on a login system that works a lot
better than anything I've written so far. Hopefully this will give
someone some information and help them get going with this, at any rate.
