NYCPHP Meetup

[Jon Baer]

Well I think the trend in any of the PHP frameworks is to let you  
pick and choose which JavaScript UI library you want to use (and not  
forcefully decide for you & proxy it out w/ your own helpers) ... ie

<?php echo $javascript->link('yui/ext/Widget') ?>

The thing about the YUI classes is that when they are full blown  
widgets it leads to having to reproduce (not DRY) alot of that  
customization code in PHP again when you are probably only going to  
use little of it.  With that in mind CakePHP is very flexible like  
that but does not have a library built in to reproduce the YUI  
widgets but think it would not be hard to create a helper to do (so  
in a nutshell it "supports" all the JS libs).

(+ the conspiracy was just a bad joke ;-)
