Hi everyone. I have been experimenting with a couple larger frameworks but haven't found anything that makes my requirement easier so far. I have heard a lot of good things about cakePHP and would love know if it will help ease my website creation.
I greatly appreciate any feedback. - Authenticate against Windows Active Directory. When log in, I will use php-ldap to do simple bind. Upon success, user ldap search to get memberOf attribute and do a little comparison to determine the user's group. That's pretty much all the active directory stuff I need. Everything else will be stored in MySQL. Here's my first concern. Some of the frameworks I tried forced me to have a password column for the user in SQL tables too. Will cakePHP force me to do so? I want to leave the password entirely to the active directory, users are not even allowed to change it through the website. - Log in, log out, cookies. - Upload and file operation. I need to be able to control exactly where the upload files are going, and what it will be named. Also, I need to exec command line to call other programs to do conversion/compression on those files. Will cakePHP be able to assist me with such task? - JSON/XML generator. My website will use small little AJAX all over the place. Is cakePHP good with generating bits and pieces of JSON/XML?
