hiii web friends... i m gonna work on modeling ajency based website project. major requirements are: user registration with authentication, their uploads, galleries and ofcource a great search options such as age wise, sex wise. plz tell me what will be the best framework (or cms) i should use. according to me some of the preferable options are: cakephp, codeigniter, symphony or yii. Thanx a lot in advance
IMHO, the best one will be the one that you comfortable and familiar to use with. For me for instance my choice will be cakephp. It has its own authentication component, upload plugin, and a whole lot of more great feature. Actually any framework can do that.
there isn't one best option, you have to establish your own criteria and then make the comparison yourself. Do you want speed? good community? Frequent updates? Scalability? The best is to try a few of them.
