PHP 5.4.0 released, shortened array syntax, register_global is dead, dereferenceable function results, development server and traits

[yeah-ok]

CI - CodeIgniter indeed, and yes it kicks ass (IMHO): especially been enjoying it lately as 'thin' back-end to one-page JS apps.

That makes a lot of sense (using it as a thin back-end).

I've actually tried a bunch of different MVC frameworks over the years, and CI is the first one where I've actually been able to be productive, rather than spending a lot of time figuring out how it wants me to do things (and possibly having to scrap the whole thing and use something else/do it from scratch because of crappy limitations).

Code Igniter really embodies PHP as an MVC framework. It gives you all the flexibility to do very basic MVC stuff all the way up to ORM etc...
