Advise needed - which Rapid Application Development Framework using PHP and MVC meets this specific need?

we are a parents initiative who runs a small kindergarden / child nursery and we set out to build a basic web based documentation and reporting application for our nursery.

After spending a week doing research on the various PHP MVC frameworks, I have a few questions that I could not answer myself - even after having a closer look (installed on local machine) at CakePHP, Symfony, CodeIgniter, YII and Joomla.

The goal is to build a web application where site managers, staff and parents (roles) can log in to do simple tasks, depending on their role (hence I need a RBAC). Site managers will for example be able to add staff to the database, staff will be able to add children and do some documenation on children (select a child and enter details on special needs etc.). Parents should be able to update information about who is picking up the child, or inform the staff if a child will not come in at a certain date.

Now, since this is all basic CRUD with only a few tables underneath, tables connected via some foreign key constraints, I would like the framework to generate CRUD skeletons for me.

And since I need to manage roles and limit access to certain pages, I would like a basic user management out of the box.

Plus, PHP and MySQL and MVC are set - otherwise I would have used Oracle Apex as I have some experience with that.

So, I looked at a vast amount of PHP frameworks and found the following to be promisi开发者_如何转开发ng:

• CodeIgniter (with Bonfire plugin)
• Symfony2
• YII framework with GII
• CakePHP
• Joomla

BUT none of the frameworks I looked at seemed to fit my need:

1. creating CRUD skeleton pages based on my ERD with foreign keys (MySQL InnoDB) / Scaffolding
2. offering a basic user management out of the box with up to date security measures in place (passwords stored using phpass or salted hashes & md5, user registration, defining roles and limiting tasks to roles/users).

If somebody could suggest a PHP Framework that comes with those two requirements build in, I would be very happy to hear about it. THANK YOU very much in advance!!

(I really liked CodeIgniter because it was simple to set up and lightweight, I liked the Bonfire user management plugin but was disappointed when I found out they sacked scaffolding in the lasted release And I liked Joomla for its user management, but found it quite hard to get started on component development, plus no scaffolding).

You should check FuelPHP and its ORM, Oil and Auth packages. It's really great. If you liked CodeIgniter, you'll probably love Fuel.
