Php Framework Advice
- by gnomixa
I am looking for a lightweight php framework with the following qualifications:
ability to write my own sql queries ( i simply don't trust CakePHP like method where the framework does your sql for you);
ability to integrate Jquery easily;
built-in templating, or relatively easy to introduce Smarty (or another templating engine) into it;
MVC;
fast
Any advice/comparison? i have looked into CodeIgniter, Symfony and CakePHP so far. Symfony is slow, and CakePHP is too inaccessible ...so far my choice would be CodeIgniter. I played with it a bit, but i would like to hear more experiences.
I am looking for a framework that will "enforce" organization of my app in a logical way - MVC seems like a great choice.
