Which is the best php web application framework to create commercial applications?

Hi,

does any one know any good php web application framework which i can use to create my own web application and can sell it?

Plz advice

 

What are your requirements ? A framework isn't anything that needs to be used because it sounds cool .. if you don't need it, why bother using one ?

 

want to use framework so i can use there existing features like security ,user authentication, signup ,ACL ,there MVC architecture etc.
so i can just extend there code with writing my new modules
i dont want to create these myself as there code will be already tested and optimized
you know what i mean to say

 

My vote goes for Zend Framework ( just the matter of preference ).
PHP Frameworks have a nice list of various frameworks and their capabilities - worth taking a look before going for the most popular one.

 

Zend is probably one of the best out there, as long as you have the php experience to back it up.

 

Personally use a custom framework I've built over the last 8+ years. Not recommended if time is of the essence.

I do have a friend who loves CodeIgnitor, but I'm not sure of their licensing requirements.

Whatever you do choose, make sure to pick one with the right license. BSD-style license is usually what it will be referred to. Many open source scripts/frameworks may have limitations on what you can sell. Also a lot of open source code is sticky, so if you release an app built on a framework with such a license you might be giving everyone else the right to resell/reuse your code!

 

if u have time, then make a custom MVC framework, or else go for codeigniter as its pretty easy to learn the rest like zend, symfony and cakephp are kind of headache for me heh

 

well i know lots of php framework out there i just want to know which one i can use in my commercial application that i can sell
