I had another go at Php frameworks and i chose CodeIgniter because it is much faster and allows loose coupling of components.
Some features of CodeIgniter:
- Model-View-Controller Based System
- PHP 4 Compatible
- Extremely Light Weight
- Full Featured database classes with support for several platforms.
- Active Record Database Support
- Form and Data Validation
- Security and XSS Filtering
- Session Management
- Email Sending Class. Supports Attachments, HTML/Text email, multiple protocols (sendmail, SMTP, and Mail) and more.
- Image Manipulation Library (cropping, resizing, rotating, etc.). Supports GD, ImageMagick, and NetPBM
- File Uploading Class
- FTP Class
- Localization
- Pagination
- Data Encryption
- Benchmarking
- Full Page Caching
- Error Logging
- Application Profiling
- Scaffolding
- Calendaring Class
- User Agent Class
- Zip Encoding Class
- Template Engine Class
- Trackback Class
- XML-RPC Library
- Unit Testing Class
- Search-engine Friendly URLs
- Flexible URI Routing
- Support for Hooks, Class Extensions, and Plugins
- Large library of “helper” functions
Because i intend to built a web2.0 site with advanced front end interactions like drag drop, overlays, image crop, and others i think CodeIgniter would work for me in terms of it being faster and i being new to Php.
lets see.
