I want to know from a technical view if there is any profit of using E-commerce PHP
frameworks instead of hard coding every single detail in the website.
I see everybuddy talk about using those but is there any real profit (not just because it is more easy it should be done no ?) for now i have a project of a commercial site and i have build-ed from scratch the search engine and the navigation system and some other few things any help please (NO VOTE DOwn PLEASE if this is a bad question one comment and it will vanish).
the good things in E-commerce PHP frameworks is that they are well documented, easy to install, full functionality, less to work as updates and upgrades most of the time.
if you want to build one from scrach you should take a note that it could last several months (depends on the size of the project) and you will never know what bugs you have ... as the only person who knows the backend is you.
there is a profit ... since a new one from scrach takes a lot of time and testing ... and time=money ...
Why don't you test, most of them give out demos and there are a lot of them that are open source ...
e-commerce is more of a pain in the ass than you think at first. you have to make a large order form and build validation and sanitation scripts and spend a lot of time making the layout not look like scrap, encryption and SSL integration and then after all that it needs an admin with way too much to account for. i've done this and ... never again.

I've been asked to quickly build a low traffic app with 5 year projections for 700,000 users. I'm banging it out using Azure/CakePHP/MySQL with Zurb for frontend. I'm new to this game and budget is tight until we get funding. This app is to demonstrate and actually be used live initially.
QUESTION: When does CakePHP become clunky/bloated code from a load perspective? Does anyone have stories of largest load CakePHP site?
I'm trying to build in to the business plan of when the rewrite will be required for efficiency. I know there are lots of variables here and I'm probably showing I don't even know enough to know I don't know but I can't find any hints anywhere and I'm 2 weeks into this project. I'm asking here because I land on Stack sites many many times a day to find answers quickly.
Blast away on the newb as long as I learn something from your snark. I don't mind looking stupid as long as it helps me become less stupid even just a little.
Any input unrelated to my exact inquire is highly welcome. It will all mean something. I've been out of the programming world for 12 years. A wee bit has changed in that time. I forgot how much fun it is. I'm back to trying to solve code probs in my sleep.
I run a site in CakePHP with around 2 million users subscribed and handles a few million hits per day. You should be fine:)

I am starting to build an E learning platform, Application will be expected to cater whole amount of user , there would be some automated jobs, and the vast range of learning material to be stored on server. moreover i will also be dealing with APIs & third party Library.
I am a bit confuse in selection of framework, to build, with having two different Options i.e. PHP Laravel & ASP.NET MVC. I also had research on internet regarding the pros and cons of Both but the major Criteria are :
Performance
License. (Open Source or PAID)
flexibility (easily maintainable)
-
Would Laravel make a better choice given the nature of our workflow in the circumstances?
Thanks in Advance
I think that this is not the correct question. PHP and ASP.NET provide good performance and can be flexible. It is depend on you when selecting. Good code can cover any issue. Focus on your programing techniques and developing your code will result in good outcome regardless of the framework you use.

Background:
I am a member of a start-up company, and we are now about to start building the company's website from mock-ups which we've already designed. The original plan was for me to build the front-end of the website, and when it is finished, we would hire a back-end developer to study my code and build and integrate the back-end.
Question:
If I build the front-end myself, would a back-end developer be able to build the back-end and integrate the two? Or would that be too difficult/time-consuming, and the back-end developer would prefer to build the front-end from scratch himself? (rendering my time spent on building the front-end useless)
Thank you
As long as you keep the variables consistent along the way, there should be no issues whatsoever. As long as you trust what the frontend developer has done, you should be good to go. The only situation I can see being an issue is if the frontend dev had some backend components directly modifying the source, but that's rare and bad practice considering how database oriented these systems usually are.
I say do an in-depth analysis before you dive in. If it looks too complicated you might look favorably at designing the frontend yourself. Either way, good luck!

I think I get me in a real trouble, because I am working on a LMS.
Actually I need to develop an LMS, a simple one.
My big problem is the Scorm.
I am developing in PHP, and what I want that if I upload the scorm 1.2 course, to be able to track the course.
Or even simpler I need to get the status(if is passed, or incomplete), score, and time.
Any suggestion, links, resources, examples?
Please, help me.
I don't think there is such a thing as a 'simple' LMS, where SCORM is concerned.
It is hard, but it is possible.
The specification for SCORM 1.2 is here -
http://www.adlnet.gov/resources/SCORM-1-2-Specification?type=technical_documentation
It's big, and detailed, and covers everything you need to provide for SCORM 1.2.
However, if you just want something up and running quickly, have a look at some other LMSs that have already been built. There are loads out there, both free and paid.
For an example of how an LMS works, check out http://cloud.scorm.com/, you can play around with it there, and see how it handles things.

I am working on a news paper website which has epaper facility. I am developing it in php.
Is there any script or something else where I can learn how to make an epaper site.
I want solution like this http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Client.asp?Daily=TOIM&showST=true&login=default&pub=TOI&Enter=true&Skin=TOINEW&AW=1333084145015
Please help me out..
ePaper in your context is a web app developed by Pressmart, and it appears to be proprietary, or at the very least not developer-friendly. So I highly doubt there have been advances in PHP libraries for it.
I'm sure as a partner, they have internal documentation and tech support that you can request more information from. They may even have a web API with PHP examples (I've seen worse companies that knew they had to keep up).
This is all info I've gathered in the last 7 minutes, so there may be more out there. But you should always reach out to the developer support of the product if they don't have easy access to documentation, as this is a sure-sign that there is not a large population of developers in the general community that will know what you're talking about, let along give insight.
