I didnt try Code Igniter but I have recently started to develop with symphony.. .pretty nice, easy to develop with and pretty fast (with caching options enabled etc. etc.). Usable with PEAR which makes future updates pretty easy to handle .It comes with lots of command line tools for code generation so development with it is also pretty fast. However, I dont know how it stands against other PHP frameworks.

Now, I have to disagree with my critiques, because i consider my question to be extremely plain and straightforward and not "vague", and that it can NOT be answered by Google'ing or as it was nicely put to RTFM, because i asked a very specific question "What do YOU think of database abstraction layers". I did not ask what are they, i did not ask why are they good, i did not ask why are they evil, and i did not ask anything else regarding abstraction layers themselves. Also, don't patronize us with all that "i've worked on x projects in my life so consult me", when in the last year and a half you participated in only 7 threads in this group. To put it in lamen terms, i don't know you, and i don't know your technical background, so i won't ask you. Earning our technical respect and having us ask you questions is something earned not asked for. Anyway, some of the input was really helpful. Ammar's latest reply was truly insightful and helped me figure things out. Ala'a and khairi's responses at the beginning were also extremely helpful, zaid's guidelines are worth remembering (on both sides of the equation), and hafez thanx for bringing up code igniter. If I were you, I would avoid Code Igniter. The system abuses some simple design philosophies and its Database layer is horrible, one of the worst I've ever seen. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jordan PHP Users Group" group.
