THE FRAMEWORKS AT A GLANCE Framework Components Helpers CakePHP 7 12 CodeIgniter 25 21 Solar 34 49 Zend Framework 75 22 26 Saturday, May 23, 2009

A CLOSER LOOK INSTALL & DEVELOPMENT 27 Saturday, May 23, 2009

INSTALLATION CAKEPHP • Load & Go • Change conﬁguration options In /app/conﬁg: Database connections, routing, session handling, caching options, access control • No need to make directories, it’s all included • Bootstrap and front controller included 28 Saturday, May 23, 2009

INSTALLATION CODEIGNITER • Dead simple Sets up controller, helper, model, view, etc directories for you • Update conﬁguration for your site • Set up database connection information • Change any autoloads you might want Libraries/components loaded for every connection - useful for things like validation or certain models 29 Saturday, May 23, 2009

INSTALLATION SOLAR • Not quite as “beginner friendly” as CakePHP/CodeIgniter for setup • Requires some manual setup to get the ball rolling has the “Solar System” • Unpack the libraries in one place, make the site in another • Create directories for site/vendor/controllers & related ﬁles /www/htdocs/project/vendor/App /www/htdocs/project/vendor/External /www/htdocs/project/vendor/<Controller Name> 30 Saturday, May 23, 2009

INSTALLATION SOLAR - BOOTSTRAP <?php session_start(); set_include_path('/www/htdocs/Solar:/www/htdocs/project:/www/htdocs/project/ Test:/www/htdocs/project/Test/External'); require_once('Solar.php'); Solar::start('/www/htdocs/Test.config.php'); $front=Solar::factory('Solar_Controller_Front'); $front->display(); Solar::stop(); ?> 31 Saturday, May 23, 2009

INSTALLATION ZEND FRAMEWORK • Similar in setup to Solar • A “Do It Yourself ” Framework • Unpack the framework • Application can be built wherever • Make a boostrap 33 Saturday, May 23, 2009

INSTALLATION ZEND FRAMEWORK - BOOTSTRAP <?php defined('APPLICATION_PATH') or define('APPLICATION_PATH', dirname(__FILE__)); defined('APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT') or define('APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT', 'development'); Zend_Layout::startMvc(APPLICATION_PATH . '/layouts/scripts'); $view = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->getView(); $view->doctype('XHTML1_STRICT'); unset($view); $frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance(); $frontController->setControllerDirectory(APPLICATION_PATH .
