Hello: Thank you for letting me intrude on your time and presume on your expertise. I do appreciate your help in answering the following question.
Although I've done quite a bit of website development in the past with ASP and ColdFusion; recently with Drupal. I am new to PHP development and certainly to working with a PHP Framework -- yet, I am committed to learning, even at 60 years old! I'm trying to decide which direction to go re: a Framework; I obviously, at this age, am not heading into a career in PHP programming. I just want to build a tool to help myself and others manage my MySQL database. I was investigating the Zend Framework. It seems a little intimidating, but I'm willing. What attracted me to CakePHP was what I read about it being relatively "easy" to learn and, especially, when I saw that that it's TreeBehavior was using a MPTT / Nested Sets database. I have been working on an extensive hierarchical database (a theological and biblical a curriculum, with the biblical data including Hebrew and Greek fields for individual sentences, clauses). So, my question, do you think the fact that CakePHP supports / uses this MPTT logic is a fairly compelling reason for choosing the CakePHP framework -- along with my being relatively new to PHP programming? Is there another approach you might recommend? I do appreciate your time in answering this: I have been spinning my wheels for weeks trying to decide what framework I should make a commitment to begin with.
