PHP Musings

It's been almost a month since my last article. It seems work and other aspects of my life have contrived to keep me plenty busy lately. So to keep some level of activity going here, I thought I'd mention one of the things I've been up to lately.

I've been looking at a few PHP frameworks over the last several months as time permits (i.e.: not often!). The latest one I've tried is CodeIgniter. My initial impression is very positive--this one might be a keeper.

One thing I like about it is that it does not dictate a specific methodology with an iron fist. But what really stands out to me compared to others I've looked at is the quality of its documentation. Take a look for yourself at the online copy of the user manual, and I think you'll see what I mean.

If you're in the market for a PHP framework and have found others to be too inflexible and/or too difficult to learn, take a look at CodeIgniter and see what you think.
