Codigniter vs Smarty vs Joomla

Please tell me what is the difference in
codigniter vs smarty vs joomla

i know codigniter is framework and bla bla bla..

Please give the description.

 

Main diference codigniter is frame work. smarty is template engine ,joomla is cms.

 

The relation is:

Joomla is a content management system.
Smarty is a template engine.
CodeIgniter is a framework that has a php template engine in it, embedded (like smarty). With CodeIgniter you can build a CMS like joomla provided you have the experience to code it.

 

Joomla = CMS
Smarty = PHP Template Engine
CodeIgniter = Framework

Here's a video I talk about this stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnvOY8y_Lr0

 

framework vs CMS
Please differentiate it.. by detail

Thank you

 

Well, you could just Google that but here goes...
A framework provides a developer the foundations upon we will build his web application that may be an eCommerce app, a CMS, or whatever.
A CMS is something (many times built with a framework) you use to create content easily. It's a Content Management System.
Eg. Wordpress is a CMS, Joomla is a CMS, etc.

 

@OP: Can you tell us your requirement?
May be then we can suggest which package you should use.

 

in my own words, here's the try to differentiate framework vs cms
framework is a library (collection) of classes which you can use as you want - NO SPECIFIC SCOPE - no initial application provided with
joomla (the cms) is basically an application, not just the collection of classes and has SPECIFIC (at least initial) SCOPE

 

Joomla is ready made tool that makes u launch a website with some clicks & no programming experience.
CodeIgniter, needs a good programming experience to make ur custom website / web app.
Smarty, you can use it with CodeIgniter or native php programming to manage templates, and it also needs good programming experience.

 

codigniter = good but you need to work from scratch
smarty = bad and you still need to work from scratch (once you are done expect alien codings and this is good for encrypting your code lol)
joomla = ready made Content Management tool but wordpress is much better than this

 

Why do you say that? That's only a matter of encoding the template files correctly.

 

I have developed many projects by using inline php coding. I want to develop projects by using classes and function(OOPs cocept) so that i can differentiate php and html file . Is codeigniter is good or something else?

 

If you want to migrate from inline PHP code to OOP PHP code, any frameworks should be OK. But I recommended CI. It's have good manual, and also goo video tutorial for beginner to understand about MVC concept.

 

Agree, but Cake has better documentation than CI.
Can try that too.

 

Apples and Oranges all three can't be compared because they each serve a different purpose

 

Ok I'll go with CI first. Best Tutorial?

 

CodeIgniter or Zend Framework. I recommend CodeIgniter. Some tutorials you have on codeigniter site, other you can find on google. One good site with tutorials is 2expertsdesign[DOT]com
