Comments on: CoughPHP 1.3.5 Released http://coughphp.com/blog/2008/12/19/coughphp-135-released/ Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 18 May 2012 19:11:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Anthony Bush http://coughphp.com/blog/2008/12/19/coughphp-135-released/#comment-61 Anthony Bush Fri, 30 Jan 2009 01:12:38 +0000 http://coughphp.com/blog/?p=25#comment-61 Careful in your comparison of CoughPHP, an ORM, to a full framework. pk-framework would be better compared to LightVC (no models), or LightVC+CoughPHP (with models). Some things to note, however, are: - LightVC and CoughPHP follow best practices, use OOP, are PHP5 strict compatible, notice free, etc. pk-framework has some work to do in this regard. - CoughPHP provides the ability to insert an extension class to the two core classes, CoughObject and CoughCollection, providing more customization opportunities than a plugin system. - The current state of pk-framework's trunk does not even work. - pk-framework has already strayed from the objective of being a lightweight framework. There is a lot of fluff, e.g. the assumptions about the data model, the PHP4 compatibility, etc. It may be time to re-evaluate the objectives.

- The current state of pk-framework’s trunk does not even work.

- pk-framework has already strayed from the objective of being a lightweight framework. There is a lot of fluff, e.g. the assumptions about the data model, the PHP4 compatibility, etc. It may be time to re-evaluate the objectives.

Write a plugin system to personalize some of the features of your framework, so the end user developer that use this will no need to modifi your framework.
