PHP frameworks

Currently I am only looking at Cake. There is a book. http://it-ebooks.info/book/2489/ Of course, it was written for Cake 2 and Cake 3 was released a week ago. That's how it goes with computer books.

There are about a zillion other PHP frameworks. But I started here. Today.

Cake.php

I grabbed the source by cloning from Git. https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp.git Then I read the docs page and realized all I need to get started is Composer. Composer is a dependency manager.

# Required for Cake. Can't be installed by Composer.
sudo apt-get install php5-intl

cd /var/www/testing
# Get composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer
# Create a new project called "firewall".
php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app firewall

Now I wonder if it works... http://testing.wildsong.biz/firewall/
