I'm going to be switching back and forth between Ruby on Rails projects and some as-of-yet undecided PHP MVC framework projects. Which of the PHP MVC frameworks out there (CakePHP, CodeIgniter?, others?) is most similar to Ruby on Rails in that the most conventions, locations, workflows, etc are preserved? I'm looking for the similar...
I've been impressed by the screencasts for Rails that demonstrate the built-in web server and database to allow development and testing to occur on the local machine. How can I get an instance of Apache to execute a project directory as its DocumentRoot, and maybe serve up the files on port 8080 (or something similar)? The reason why I'...

I'm just starting with CI, and am not sure where things such as css, js, images should go. Outside the whole system folder seems ok, but that means everything is seperate. Inside mean s the filepaths are longer and I'm worried that it might mess things up. What's the official line on this? ...
I'm trying to use Microsoft Access as the db for a demo project that I'm thinking of doing in either Code Igniter or CakePHP. Ignoring the possibly folly of using MS Access, I haven't been able to figure out precisely how the connection string corresponds to the frameworks' db settings.

I'd like the search term to show up in the URI: example -- mysite.com/search/KEYWORD I've been on Google for about an hour to no avail -- only articles on how "GET" is basically disabled because of the native URI convention.
