Hi all. I'm still pretty new to AJAX, and everytime I delve into it, I spend most of my time pulling my hair out trying to get my project to work in the popular browsers. I understand CakePHP is great for anyone who knows PHP and is planning to develop any size web applications, as it uses the model-view-controller architecture, php models, controllers, and a nice feature called scaffolding. I am wondering if anyone here has managed to develop any web applications with it? Cake PHP cakephp.org/ Cake is a rapid development framework for PHP which uses commonly known design patterns like ActiveRecord, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC. Thanks in advance for my newbie question
Sounds a lot like Code Igniter, which is what I've just discovered this week and am liking a lot. It's not a program but integrating it into my own scripts is instantaneous. http://codeigniter.com I'm currently using it to create a simple linkdump site, I've only used it last night and I'm almost halfway done! It's saving me so much custom coding and I have less to worry about in regards to errors and parsing database results and such.
Hi, If you want use AJAX, I say you check out the SAJAX toolkit. http://www.modernmethod.com/sajax/ It makes AJAX development very easy. Thomas
RoR conceptions are inside? As for me every company has own framework, which is good for them... ...btw we have some framework conceptions in our project, and building framework on them.
I've had a bit of a play with cakephp, it's good but not as mature as the more established newbie-friendly MVC2 frameworks like ruby on rails. While it's fine for building personal and small web applications, probably not something you'd want to use in a demanding production environment.
I think you can definately use cake in a production environment. But the only way I can decide if I want to use it is if I code a simple app. I prefer cake and seagull as they are easy to use and are PHP 4 compatible. Some frameworks only use PHP 5 which is great but many hosts require additional configuration to use PHP5 and some don't even support it. So if you planning to distribute an app, for now at least, PHP 4 enabled frameworks are your best bet.
I've toyed about with it for a while but I'm really waiting on the Zend Framework to progress and I'll adopt it. Unless it never progresses beyond it's current form.
I implement cake framework for 10 websites in last six months. It quickly, easily and save time for me a lot.
I have developed a few applications with it, and now its my primary framework to use in most of the projects. Also, check my blog for more details on my experience.. Link included here: http://www.gigapromoters.com/blog/2...th-their-solutions-before-you-start-using-it/
