So I should use a framework..ok..i’ll choose codeigniter.
I should also use an ide..ok..i’ll choose netbeans.
I need a blog and other stuff so I need a CMS..ok..i’ll choose wordpress.

My question is how on earth do you get all these tools to work together in harmony? Is it possible? Does any combination of ide,framework, and cms play nice together? For example, will I get code completion and debugging for codeigniter in netbeans? Then can I get codeigniter in wordpress without hacking away at core files?
 
I've never used netbeans before, my IDE of choice is phpDesigner. It has code completion, debugging, and all of that. If you choose Codeignitor as your framework, the code completion isn't the completion of code ignitor code but of php code in general. So, any IDE with code completion will work with codeignitor.

As for wordpress + codeignitor, they perform different tasks, so you choose one or the other, or, you have them on different parts of your site. You don't need a framework unless you are creating applications for your site anyways. And you don't need wordpress unless you are writing a blog for your site. If you don't need a blog then only use codeignitor, if you aren't going to write applications then only use wordpress.

So, if you want both, then your link bar will have links that go to applications being served by code ignitor, and the blog link will go to wordpress. You don't have to try to get them to work together because they don't need to.
