Hi Reinier, Thanks for the framework hints. I will take a look about these two.
I am evaluating different frameworks following these criteria: - gpl-compatible license, because Care2x is under gpl - good backbone in the project - there should be more than one or two developers and also well-known company. This ensures the quality and stability. - future of the project - I don't want to use a framework that will die in year or two (or has already died). At the moment the best I could find is Zend Framework. It lacks lots of features yet, but surely it evolves very fast. Yes, you are right that we have to introduce changes one by one. This is why I want first to build an independent prototype, see how it looks like and then find way how to integrate it in Care2x. PHP5 compatibility is definitely the first step. This will open many doors. Then for example we can abandon adodb and build the db access on top of framework classes like Zend_Db, then refactor user input for security (Zend_InputFilter), then session, authorisation, MVC architecture that will open widely the door for Ajax. And at some point in time - extension points. Greetings Kaloyan On Thu, 2006-06-29 at 13:00 +0300, Reinier Battenberg wrote: > Hi, > > Have you been looking at specific frameworks already?
