Is there any PHP web framework that works cleanly with the Firebird database?
By "cleanly", I mean out-of-the-box, no hacks/customization/self-made drivers.
So far, I've checked out frameworks like CodeIgniter & CakePHP, but their support for Firebird is vague or little at most.
The Zend Framework has a Firebird / Interbase DB adapter in incubation, so almost clean out of the box (and I've used it, and it worked like a charm for me). Mind you, there's an experimental PDO adapter for Firebird as well, and with that in place, any framework that use PDO is going to support it.
Zend Framework is working on Firebird-Interbase support. You can check out the progress here.
cake php supports it out of the box, http://mapopa.blogspot.com/2008/08/cakephp-tutorial-for-ubuntu-firebird.html
Zend Framework has support for Firebird and Interbase in the "Extras", you must download the "Full Package" instead of "Minimum Package".
I developed this Adapter, if you need some help, please subscribe and post in fw-db#lists.zend.com.
Instead of finding a framework that supports FireBird why not use a framework you are familiar with and use ADOBD lib for accessing a plethora of RBDMSs out of the box.
With Delphi for Php
or
TurboForPhp (OpenSource)
There is an YII framework out there
it's not completely out-of-the-box, but quite straight forward

I've been searching for a Modern PHP Framework just like this post's title. I've tried Yii, Laravel, Doctrine, they do not support that (I really like Laravel).
I've been using good ol' AdoDb PHP DBAL library for SQL Server in Linux, but combine it with Laravel seems impossible...
Anyway, I'm going to check CodeIgniter, SilverStripe, CakePHP, and Zend Framework (last).
If all fails, then I just go with Laravel and make web-service-interface for SQL Server using NodeJS, but the power of ORM will be gone.
I just need some pointers, suggestion, success stories, or anything...
Thanks
EDIT01
Maybe PHP Framework with some kind of technology like Ruby's ActiveResource where the database model is a RESTful web service?
I am just wondering if I could run CodeIgniter applications on Zend Server Community Edition without any issues.
I don't want to mess everything up by experimenting. Please let me know if you have faced any problems running CI on ZendServer CE.
Thanks
Zend Server isn't really a server. It's just a preconfigured PHP installation for Apache/IIS. When deploying a Zend Framework application, you have to include the Zend Framework libraries along with your application as if you were deploying it on a regular Apache/PHP server.
You can treat it as a stock installation of PHP.
I don't know enough about Zend Server to say for sure (e.g. I've seen someone manage to wedge CI into Joomla before), and while I'm sure it's possible, I imagine it would require a lot of tinkering. What you can do is pick and choose your favorite bits of CI or Zend and reuse the code as libraries. Are you being forced to use Zend but would prefer to use CI? If that's the case, I feel for you, but I'm not sure the best solution is to use two entire frameworks with all the overhead that comes with them...it would probably end up being really unwieldy.
I am searching for DAL or ORM (Only ORM no MVC) Solution in PHP5 that can efficiently access SqlServer.
I am new to SqlServer. and I need to code a part of ASP.net website in PHP5.
I am currently Using QCodo However its codegenerator is making some problem with ASP's own tables (?? the ASP Guys told me that its for ASP's Membership Management. and these tables are handled internally).So I need some alternative solution that can work in this situation too !!
I've wrestled with this for quite a while and there are a few key points that you need to be aware of when it comes to SQL Server and PHP.
The driver of choice is currently the 2.0 release of the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server. You can find more information about that driver here. I installed it using the Microsoft Web PI application.
As of this post, I know of only 1 ORM that supports this driver and that is Propel. That being said, Propel's generator has a dependancy upon Phing, which is best installed via PEAR. After wrestling with trying to get all of this working in Windows Server 2k8, I gave up and I'll just be writing my own wrapper or using the native PDO functions.
Several options, from more to less complex:
Doctrine
Propel
Zend_Db
The three of them support MSSQL through PDO's MSSQL Server extension.
Is it possible to make restful services with kohana 3 , i reviewed the source and found an abstract class Kohana_Controller_REST, how to use it ? If someone can post a snippet with routing as Example code, it will be very appreciated.
Also, the lack of documentation on KO3 is making me crazy, if someone knows a well documented, fast and proven PHP framework to use with an 100% javascript Frontend, just let me know, but i would like to stick with Kohana because of the powerful ORM lib.
Thanks.
This looks like the most promising module for 3.2 (current stable)

I have been very happy using CodeIgniter REST Server, which is an extension to the CodeIgniter framework. One of the nice things about CI is the excellent documentation when compared to Kohana. Then again, Kohana is an "improved" fork of CI; for example, CI does not have an out-of-the-box ORM library.
i am looking for a new php(5) framework it must be lightweight(x<500kb), oop, have orm, active record built in, simple to learn, fast to use, active community and dev.
I need it for small, personal app development.
My php skills are quite low and i have .net background. I have previously used LightVc+cough and codeIgnitor php frameworks.
There are so-many frameworks there and it is quite hard to find the best.
I have checked the other threads here but they are to old to consider sustainable.
Thanks for your time.
I think you dig out the http://www.phpframeworks.com/. It has details about each and every accepted framework.
Code Igniter is very popular and also supports PHP4: http://codeigniter.com/
Unlike .NET and miscellaneous other programming languages, you really don't need a framework to write a PHP application. In fact, I'd advise against it. Learn the language, not a framework.
For someone with low PHP skills I'd say codeigniter although it doesn't have ORM built-in (it has a sort of lightweight active record class), but there are tutorials on how to use Doctrine (a good PHP ORM solution) with it.
However if you want a PHP5 only framework (as in written to take full advantage of PHP5) then I'd suggest looking at Kohana (a PHP5 only fork of codeigniter), Yii or Zend framework.
