    I am considering porting my biggest PHP project to Akelos. My project now uses 3rd party software: i18n, ez_sql and TBS (tinybutstrong). It appears that features in Akelos will make some of this 3rd party stuff obsolete.

    I'm pretty sure that my i18n will not be needed.

    ez_sql is desirable because it caches SQL Selects. I can't tell whether Akelos does or not at this point.

    TBS does many things. It will be a feature by feature checkout to see whether Akelos makes it obsolete. Akelos and TBS both use html templates. I wonder whether they can both be used in the same application if this is deemed necessary. (ez_sql uses TBS.)

    Has anyone ported from the use of these packages to Akelos?

    Hello and welcome to the Akelos forums!

    Akelos has l10n and i18n builtin so you're right - you don't need them as seperate scripts. Akelos uses ADOdb for database connections and it's possible to cache the tables (if my memory serves me righ)... There's been discussion either here or at IRC. forum discussion

    About TBS.. I don't really know what its advantages are. Have you checked out Sintags witch is used by Akelos and is pretty similar to rails's implementation?

    I myself have migrated from Smarty and ez_sql to Akelos =) So it's possible

    My wife/developer is a fan of TBS. As far as another system is concerned, she cites "learning curve". I wrote the database back end to her system and want to see what is involved in porting it to Akelos. We are having some problems upgrading from PHP4 to PHP5, so I want to see what problems Akelos will solve / create.
