Well, years after being recommended it, I'm finally checking out CodeIgniter. With the downturn of the economy, it looks as though fewer departments will be buying vendor-provided solutions, so some in-house PHP coding is in order.
As much as I code PHP, I've always been oh-so-keenly-aware that everything I code is spaghetti when I use PHP. Compared to Python where the quest for elegance is so easily fulfilled, my PHP coding always feels like a massive hack, no matter how much object-oriented code I throw at it.
So after debugging one last fatal error due to my forgetting whether my database query function was called queryDb() or dbQuery(), I decided to start looking for a solid but not overwhelming framework. CodeIgniter seems to fit the bill.
If nothing else, learning it may give me something to blog about!
