CodeIgnitor is very similar to Cake in many aspects. However, if you think your project will require complex data relationships, stick it out with Cake. It handles this sort of thing much much better. Documentation is CI's strongest aspect. Its not quite as complex as Cake, so it is easier to cover its functionality concisely. If you need details beyond the Cake manual, there is always the API doc itself. Maybe that's not a good answer for an average person, but I usually read the API more than the manual when I am coding anyhow.
Cake's community seems better to me. Just a gut feeling, but its a good one. Hope this helps. On Aug 2, 11:23 am, walterbyrd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm framework shopping.
