My day job has me hacking in CI but I always wanted to give Kohana a shot. But you have to admit CI has done a good job in creating a PHP framework that is enjoyable (a word any serious programmer would use to not describe PHP) to work with.
PHP 5.3. is exciting stuff yet my worry is that most PHP code monkeys will not give it's feature set a second glance. On a unrelated note I've been working with HaXe to produce PHP apps. So far I'm LOVIN it! Do give it a try.
- midnightmonster 18y agoI thought the straightforward handling of routing in CI and the other basic plumbing was very nice. I really didn't like the way you have to load all the other classes wacky-style to work around PHP 4's deficiencies. So it was as much maddening as helpful for me. Kohana is just like CI, except without the PHP 4 fail. Of course most people won't get into the PHP 5.3 features, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. And HaXe... I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I always end up thinking no. What's the web framework and view/template story there? It doesn't appeal for writing client-side JS b/c there I have jQuery, and I very much doubt HaXe would end up easier to write.
