Which is best PHP Framework?

Yii Framework is a high-performance component-based PHP framework best for Web 2.0 development.

 

Don't forget the newcomer "Laravel". It has receive some positive thumbs up. http://laravel.com/

 

Zend Framework 2 is good.

 

I also vote for Symphony.
But why there isn't Smarty framework in the list? I think it is pretty good for the beginning.

 

Yii if you want fast page loads and many inbuilt features, Codeigniter if you want a framework with small blueprint and small learning curve

 

It is difficult to pin point it out. I personally prefer CodeIgniter and Zend Frameworks.

 

Probably because Smarty is just a Template Engine rather than a Framework. I would even say that 90% of the people who use SMARTY could just use PHP Includes.

 

I'm using Codeigniter for years now as a professional programmer (both alone and in a team). Simple out of the box, and easy to extend with for example APIs from social media, or paypal or iDeal (for Dutch users).

 

Have you checked it? What are the pros and cons?

 

Before you can decide on a framework for your project you should first understand its needs, its requirements. Currently I am using CodeIgniter because it’s relatively easy to learn, delivers lightning fast page loads, has tonnes of advanced features and has a very large and active community.

 

cakephp and codeigniter are the popular ones. i agree that its rather a subjective question and depends on individual choice and requirements.

 

My recommendation: Laravel.

 

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]LAMP is the shorter version for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP, this is a very popular web development platform that has been trusted and used by many people all over the world. If you are on the lookout for a good web development platform that is going to make your work faster, more efficient and unique then LAMP website Development is the right choice.[/FONT]

 

Yii framework is good for developing web 2.0...

 

The OP asked for a framework, not for a platform.

 

According to my opinion, Zend is the best PHP Framework.

 

Hi,
ZEND is the best PHP Framework but it is very difficult to learn.You can go for CAKEPHP, its amazing.

 

The framework of our professional choice is Yii (http://www.yiiframework.com/) . Really awesome framework. It`s very quick and has many great features.

Also I may recommend reading several comparison articles on this topic, like

There is no "best" framework but some frameworks are more complex than others. For simplicity and speed, Codeigniter is the one I prefer.
