I think Zend looks great, but for many people (including me) it is overly complex and cumbersome. It is a very professional and standardised class library, but has no "glue" to put it all together for you. Also, it takes OOP to the extreme (for PHP anyway). Everything has abstract classes, interfaces and the like. CI is good from a lightweight, gives you something to build on perspective. I however prefer CakePHP. Its been around for a while, it can automatically build an app from just a well designed database and doesn't require configuration files in XML, YAML or what have you. The documentation is OK and could be much better. It really depends on what you want out of the framework. I would suggest going through the CakePHP and CI tutorials and seeing which one seems like a good fit for you. -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
