INFO: Statistically speaking, Yii is without doubt the best framework on the market (at least, at the time of writing). It gives lightning fast page loads and has more features than you could shake a stick at. Yii is a relatively new kid on the block, as far as frameworks go. The main thing that sends Yii straight to the top spot, for me, is the sense that Yii represents the next generation of frameworks. In other words, it’s not just a bit faster than Codeigniter or a bit more feature packed than Zend. With Yii we have a genuine …

INFO: Codeigniter is currently my framework of choice. It’s relatively easy to learn, delivers lightning fast page loads, has tonnes of advanced features and has a very large and active community. As I write there’s currently around 20,000 members of the Codeigniter discussion forum. That’s 20,000 people who potentially know and want to discuss Codeigniter! Feature wise, Codeigniter can stand toe to toe with other powerful frameworks such as Zend and Cake. It also, without question, has the best documentation of all the php frameworks. That was a major selling point for me. Although Codeigniter is built and managed by Ellislab …

INFO: If we were ranking all of the PHP frameworks in terms of which one gives you the best employment opportunities then Zend would be first, hands down. If we were placing a bet on which framework would have the most longevity then Zend would surely be our safest bet. Built by the makers of PHP, Zend is currently the PHP framework of choice for big business. Like CakePHP, it comes packed with tonnes of advanced features, plugins and free optional downloads. Personally speaking, I haven’t spent a great deal of time using Zend. However, I have a close friend …

INFO: Kohana is basically Codeigniter on steroids (I’m sure I’m not the first person who has said that). Codeigniter, which I’ll discuss further on, is a fantastic framework. However, Kohana is modular which means you can quickly “bolt” parts onto your applications. The code is also slicker and more compact than with Codeigniter. On paper it has everything going for it! Personally speaking, I wanted this to be my framework of choice, and I wanted it to be number one on this list, but alas, Kohana has one major drawback which – coming to think of it – is virtually …

A good PHP framework should improve security, make websites easier to upgrade and should also dramatically reduce the time it takes you to build websites and web applications. After all, framework should dramatically decrease time needed for developing web application. A good PHP framework should help you to keep on top of everything that’s new and hip in the world of web development – without having to learn a bunch of brand new technologies. Need a PDF generator? Your framework should be able to handle that. How about an RSS feed? No problem! Or, how about one of those fancy auto complete …
