Guys, Which of the two Frameworks do you think is most efficient? i develop in codeigniter and recently argued in it's favor.

I have a preference for Yii. On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 9:08 AM, Felix mwai <flxxmw@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi brian, what would you think are the main advantages of Yii over codeigniter? On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 9:20 AM, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:

Hi Felix, Yii has a genial architecture, PDO based SQL management, security, JQuery, great documentation etc. Code Igniter is pretty basic and good for beginners. Yii is good for PHP developers who have a good understanding of OO and eases development.

That link uses a really old version of CI, 1.5.4 while the current version is 2.0.1. @Felix, I would argue that for a good developer, it doesn't really matter what framework you use, it is the skill with which you use it :-) If you have the time, why don't you try both on the same project and see how it goes?

@peter, yeah my idea is to develop my next project in Yii, then i will have an experience of the two. On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 2:10 PM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:

Codeigniter - if you want more control over your code. If you are working on a huge project, you will sometimes need to get to the bottom of things. CI, as simple as Brian points out that it is, allows to do that better. If you are on yet another project and you are in a hurry to get things done, please use Yii. -- Ndungi Kyalo neno.co.ke ~ Your word O Lord, lights my path.

@Ndungi While I do agree with you, Yii also allows you get real down and dirty :). Just needs a slightly more experienced hand. @All Here is another link with a good write-up comparing CI, Kohana and Yii: http://www.beyondcoding.com/2009/03/02/choosing-a-php-framework-round-2-yii-... The article is a bit outdated (e.g. Yii now does have built-in unit testing), but it is informative. On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 9:56 AM, Ndungi Kyalo <ndungi@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks guys, from the links i almost have a feeling Yii might be better, but i can also see Codeigniter has its own strong points. On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 10:03 AM, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:
