Choosing PHP Framework?

Discussion in 'PHP' started by Mr. Pimp, Apr 18, 2010.

    Hello
    Just out of curiosity, i would really like to know which is the best PHP framework for developing very high end products.
    As far as i have researched, symphony is the best one out there.. however symphony 2.0 seems like a dream come true but it will be coming in late 2010.
    I heard phpbb 4 will be using symphony framework.. and there will be no manual code edits in core php files while installing modules etc..
    anyway i was wondering what framework vBulletin may have used? or none?
    of course in my experience raw php code gives best performance over any framework out there... but is it really?
    i would really like to know these things..
    for e.g. if i have to design a community builder script which will have admin panel, self installer etc.. is it feasible to go for framework or what? or is there any other better things in world for designing such high end products??
    1 of my friend who is really good coder, told me frameworks are for woosies.... but i believe there is no reason to re-invent entire wheel while designing any high end php products...

    @mods, sorry if i'm posting in wrong section.. kindly move topic

    zend can handle that ....
    symfony is much strict...and more stricter brings power somewhere but it adds complexcity as well....
    atleast that is what i have felt using those both frameworks....

    Most people will probably just stick to what they know and say that the one the learnt first is the best. I use Zend Framework myself, it's made my life as a developer a lot easier and means I can make applications a lot quicker, which is the point of a framework after all. I guess the fact that it's made by the same company who manage PHP it's self counts for something too.

    vBulletin 4 uses a custom built MVC framework although it uses most classes from previous classes used in vBulletin 3.

    In my honest oponion, Zend is the best framework out there. After all, it's backed by the company that made PHP.
