PHP framework with good user login/admin

Question

I am looking for a good PHP framework with a good user login & admin. I have looked at Codeigniter, but the user admins I have found seem dated. I have been looking at at Kohana, but have not been able to find a viable login / admin pannel? I basically need:

• User login
• User verification of new user
• User p/w reset
• Admin add/edit/del user
• Admin user grouping

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Both of those are frameworks that give you the tools to build it yourself by giving you access to models of your database object, controllers and views for your application logic and html templates.

If you want a ready made one, Symfony can get you started with its scaffolding that creates simple CRUD (Create Retrieve Update Delete) html forms for the models defined in it, but you will need to modify it to adapt to your own needs.

I wonder if you wouldn't be better served with a full fledged CMS, such as Drupal which has a full admin panel, user management etc out of the box.

BackEndPro for CodeIgniter.

Includes:

• User Authentication with registration & account activation
• User Permissions by using ACL (Access Control Lists)
• Admin GUI backend for editing Site-wide Preferences
• Built on Matchbox (for Modular development)
• Asset Library (optimize, cache and load JS & CSS)
• ReCAPTCHA
• Status messages (info/success/warning/error messages for the user)
