This is a hypothetical question! I have been following CakePHP as well as Zend Framework since very early stages. At this moment what seems to be going very well for Zend is the workflow processes but it is still missing too many things for me to work with it on a project.
CakePHP on the other hand is already a fairly mature (read as "field tested") framework and it works for me NOW At some time in future every software becomes obsolete - the question you should be asking is "Is the lifetime of the current software worth it for me?" I once was involved with development of phplib - a set of classes which provided amongst other things sessions for php3, all us knew that php4 will have sessions but we had enough users who wanted the development to continue and it did for quite some time even after php4 was released and I am told that a some people still use some parts of the old code (I don't)... So keep growing and keep investing time in learning new things. That said - I don't see any *one* framework becoming an industry standard in PHP world On 12/17/07, Action <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've always used Cake as my primary framework, but the Zend Framework > seems to be shaping up nicely.
