I am considering php framework Codeigniter & Cakephp for small site I would be developing but I am open to using pretty much any framework does fullfill the following requirements. requirements are:
-
A simple pre-build user authentication system or login system as a plugin, something long
the lines of php-login-script. -
Allows Easy integration with third-part excel/spreadsheet generation library or
has some plugin. -
Should support
PHP 5.2, hence symfony2 can’t be considered -
Bonus points if the framework
has integration with twitter
bootstrap
Looking for framework which can fullfill all of the above points, so I can save some time. Else, I would prefer framework which does most of the requirements & would write rest myself.
So, based on above requirements; which php framework/script would you suggest?
CakePHP2
There are plenty of different xls export helpers. Just google it and review them I can not recommend any of them because I have not used them. We have our own but we did not open source it.
Overall I would recommend to use CakePHP2 in any case over Codeigniter. I’ve recently had to convert a project from CI to Cake and now I know why… 😉
