"sounds cool."
(there is no silver bullet)
not entirely.
No frontend components.... but:
● Zend Framework MVC
● PHP views + view helpers
● Simple elements:
○ text, image, textarea, link
● loops, re-usable blocks
Example: Template - "Editables"
<div class="logo">
<?= $this->image("logoImage") ?>
<div>
<div class="content">
<?= $this->textarea("contentText") ?>
<div>
UI / Objects / Database designer● Define forms easy like "Access"
● "PhpMyAdmin on steroids"
● Auto-generated ORM PHP code
● Weird structure "object_12"
● De-normalized, missing indexes
● Filesystem dependencies
#FAIL
Filesystem-driven
=> collaborative development is hard
Sequence-ID vs. GUID
=> content migration pain
DB structure, strongly de-normalized
=> performance penalties
