OK, sorry in advance for the length of this question! I've spent ages reading about the pros and cons of all the major PHP Frameworks (i.e. Zend, CakePHP, Symfony, CodeIgniter, etc., etc.). I've also read most of the questions and answers already posted in here about PHP Frameworks and I STILL can't make up my mind as to which one I sho...
Hi All, I am deciding on a framework to try out for PHP and have narrowed it down to CakePHP and CodeIgniter. I have a couple questions for any of you who have used or are familiar with both: I like the fact that Cake keeps most of the code outside the webroot by default. Especially since I may end up using a single framework instal...
I'm not looking for the whole ACO-ARO implementation... I just want to use Auth, and check against the user's role....

Hey all.... I am having a little bit of difficulty to make the integration between flex and cakephp to work with authentication... I have an MVC on Flex that comunicates with Users MVC on cakephp. It authenticates and sends me back the logged user, but when I try to access another controller, the value for $this->Auth->user() is allways...
I have a login screen that I force to be ssl, so like this: https://www.foobar.com/login then after they login, they get moved to the homepage: https://www.foobar.com/dashbaord However, I want to move people off of SSL once logged in (to save CPU), so just after checking that they are in fact logged in on https://www.foobar.com/dashbaor...

Since I have the following association in my model: public $hasMany = array('Answer' => array('className' => 'Answer', 'order' =...
I picked CodeIgniter as the first PHP MVC framework to learn. I've used it for a few projects and feel quite comfortable with it. I now have the opportunity to work on a project that uses Cake. My question is, how long do you think it will take to transition to this framework if I have a good grasp on CodeIgnitor? I don't want to be ov...
Hypothetically, if I were to build the same app using a few popular/similar frameworks, say PHP(cakePHP|Zend), Django, and Rails, should the memory consumption of each be roughly the same? Also, I'm sure many have evaluated or used each and would be interested in which you settled on and why? ...

Also, say I am developing a product which I want to sell users. Now suppose a use a framework like Zend, then I am unnecessarily imposing restrictions of using PHP 5 only. A lot...
