Hi everybody!,
First things first, I would just like to say thanks for such a great piece of software :-)
This is my very first thread and maybe you will not like it because Im looking for advice in a tough decision. In the past week I have been testing several PHP frameworks, and at this point I have three "finalist" but I cant make a decision:
1. Zend Framework
Pros:
- API documentation
- "by Zend Technologies Ltd."
- A lot of components, including "official" stuff from Microsoft, Google and Adobe
- ACL and Auth components by default (important to me)
Cons:
- Learning curve (simple things was like a nightmare)
- Performance (third part opinion)
2. Kohana
Pros:
- Easier than ZF
- Auth component by default
- PHP5
Cons:
- Lack of documentation
- Community driven projects make me nervous (IMHO)
3. Codeigniter
Pros:
- Learning curve (the easiest)
- Community
- "Part of EllisLab, Inc."
- Performance (third part opinion)
- Great documentation
Cons:
- Not ACL or Auth component by default :-(
- PHP4
I appreciate any comments or suggestion,
(BTW, My intention is not "flaming", Im just looking for other points of view)
Thanks,
