A Selection Of PHP Frameworks

Posted in Tools | On 7th February 2010 | 15 Comments


PHP can be extremely useful when you are working on web applications or web services, they quickly allow them to be built and keep the app relatively lightweight.

Whether your fluent in PHP or not, PHP frameworks can be huge timesavers for anyone creating apps or softwares and they have a pretty gentle learning curve.

Below are 10 great PHP frameworks that will allow you to hit the ground running, I have included the well know Zend framework as its certainly worth taking a look at.

Akelos

Cake PHP

Code Igniter

Kohana

Prado

Seagull

Symfony

Yii

Zend

Zoop

    Zend is not a framework, the “Zend Framework” is. The correct link is http://framework.zend.com.

    Do you have any opinion on which one you’d recommend, based on either having used it, or comparable feature sets? Are there any better suited to PHP beginners or to experts?

    Hi Steve, I have used The Zend Framework and also Cake.

    I found Cake to be easy to get going with and its really flexible :)
