Knowing nothing about your app or experience level with Drupal, I'm going to assume 3 things:
- Your app is in a production environment and in use by your users
- You are the only person supporting this app
- Drupal is new to you.
Very good assumptions. The last one is only "partly true". I have managed Drupal sites for years, but I have never written a module or a theme. I don't know Drupal's internals.
If those three things are all true, I would probably lean away from porting to Drupal, it probably wouldn't make good business sense. You may find yourself spending significant amounts of time just learning Drupal before you even begin to think about your app in a Drupal environment.
On the other hand, if you are looking to build more apps going forward and want to learn a robust framework to build those on, the time spent now will be a valuable investment, especially, if this particular app is one that has a small user base and will not significantly suffer for being a learning environment (aka: guinea pig)
Thanks. Again, that's very useful. I have a couple hundred users and they are paying customers, so I can't experiment on them very much. I'll look for generic PHP framework.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers, Daniel.
