Ok, I'll probably be banished for this, but my $work has decided to officially support PHP (we're primarily M$, so this is a good thing) and our first major app is a total cluster (aren't they all). The client is on board with a rewrite, but I want to use a framework and I've been decidedly out of the PHP seen, so I don't know what to use.
BTW, PHP is a requirement because the $boss wants us to actually _know_ php, not just how to rewrite it to Catalyst, boo hoo. So, no "just use Catalyst" responses, sorry for bubble-bursting. So, I'm thinking there's no better place, than Catalist, to ask about a good PHP framework, that will make sense to a Catalyster. I did the obligatory Googling and I'm liking Symfony w/ Doctrine as ORM, right now, but I'm open to other suggestions. Here are the things I'm looking for: - actively maintained - fairly strong history/production grade - MVC based, or at least MVC-ish - good ORM support (I'm used to DBIC) - MySQL support in ORM - ORM also needs to be flexible so it can be mapped to existing MySQL tables (incremental rewrite) - easiest to setup/install/deploy/maintain (if there is such a thing) - dispatch-based with nice URLs and maybe even "chaining" like Catalyst (not absolutely necessary, but a big plus) - no fancy crap, just good ol' "web glue", like Catalyst Oh, and Catalyst Rocks!(tm) TIA -matt pitts _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
