Was thinking about learning a new framework like zend or symphony. It's basically a crud style application but I'd like to experiment with tieing into some type of payment system like paypal. Any you can recommend that make it easy? Need authentication, templating, database/crud and then payments. I started to use drupal, and there's a good chance I may, since it's more applicable in my day job, but it always feels like such a heavy task to get started on a drupal application. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode, skype, linkedin, identi.ca and twitter From eric at eric.nu Fri Feb 6 16:13:11 2009 From: eric at eric.nu (Eric Junker) Date: Fri Feb 6 16:13:43 2009 Subject: [ciapug] framework that eases e-commerce In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <498CB5F7.30004@eric.nu> Matthew Nuzum wrote: > Hello, I'm pondering an idea for a web application.

Using a payment gateway usually isn't very complicated depending on their API. I've got a custom payment class that uses curl to POST data over HTTPS to the Authorize.net payment gateway. The Kohana framework (PHP5 port of Codeigniter) has a Payments module http://docs.kohanaphp.com/addons/payment Also in my previous research I came across: Pear Payment_Process http://pear.php.net/package/Payment_Process Zend_Service_Payment http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Service_Payment Hope that helps, Eric
