I have experince in cakephp and a little bit of experince in rails and symfony (php). My experince with rails is that it is quite an elegant soloution and makes the web development a lot easier. The fact that it is done in ruby and everything is an object is nice too. However the downside is not many shared hosting enviorments support ruby/rails and the ones that are do are quite expensive.
Cakephp is almost an exact port of rails in cakephp. There are some praticle diffrence because of the php language does not support all of the features that the ruby language has. I have used it in a couple of projects and it faired quite well. The other one I have used is symfony. To me symfony seams much more aimed at the pro web developer at the quality of the application higher. That being said I havent had much experince with symfony so later on I could be proved wrong. Rails is deffintley the buzz word in web development at the moment Michael On 03/10/2007, Mark Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > At the moment we don't use anything I'd class as a web framework.
