I’m in the market for a PHP framework to use for my future projects. Compiling a list is fairly simple using Google, there are quite a few blogs that mention which are best overall or best for certain applications, for example, this one and this one. With all the talk about Ruby on Rails lately I was curious about it but for the most part I don’t see the point in learning a new programming language just to use the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and scaffolding. There are quite a few PHP frameworks that use the same concepts (including one that is being directly copied from Rails). My goal is to find the best for my needs.

Note: While this technique works and is valid you are best to use the proper method which utilizes proper HTML form submission, is standards compliant and accessible.

In the last installment I brought to light the issues involved with using dynamic controls in an ASP.Net page. For the most part it was simply background on the topic so that this second more interesting part would make sense. The final point was that in certain situations you needed to know the result of an event before you could create the dynamic controls which is not possible to do without some sort of hack. The controls must be created, at the latest, in Page_Load but the page events fire after that, dilemma.
