Hi people,
I know that help on choosing a framework is hard, because it depends on developer needs, so I'll try to list all of mine. Thanks in advance.
I want to develop some kind of online gaming site. I'll make freely available clan sites. They will be accessed via subdomain: clan-lol.domain.com. There will be a "general" site with user registration, login, ladders, news, demos, articles, etc.
So I need a framework that can switch site params easily by url parsing or something similar.
Another one is that it must support i18n, for static and dynamic items.
There should be a DAO engine or at least, an SQL helper, so I shouldn't write SQL code.
It should have a good view separation, so i can switch to SOAP, RSS or whatever easily.
And last, it could help that it has some common modules and/or classes to Authenticate, log, cache, form handling, etc.
Tips: I like PEAR DB_DataObject, and FormBuilder. I like Seagull framework because it uses DB_DataObject, but it doesn't support i18n. I like PRADO style Frameworks, but for this site, that should be huge, I don't know if this would fit my needs.
I've tried or at least read some docs from binarycloud, blueshoes, prado, seagull, and a lot more. Please, don't think that I want you to make the dirty work for me. I think that any of you could be using a framework that is perferct for me and finding it could be tedious if not impossible. If not, I'll try to do my own, but my oo knowledge is not appropiate :S.
Thanks a lot, and sorry for my english :/
