Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 5,130 PointsPHP Framework for Ecommerce
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some guidance to find a scalable PHP framework for an Ecommerce website. I will also be leveraging bootstrap.
I'm considering CakePHP, Laravel and CodeIgniter.
The Ecommerce will have the usual items:
- Dynamic homepage
- Category pages
- Search
- Prodcut details page
- Datafeed integration
- CMS
- Blog (will be using WordPress)
- Forum (vBulletin)
My goal is to have a PHP framework that can be scaled.

33,856 PointsI should have worded that differently and this was rather new to me as well.
HHVM was designed to replace the Zend Engine used by PHP and HHVM is written in Hack. There's a HHVM and Hack series on SitePoint that provides more details.
