比较php框架-通过其独特功能

Question

I saw many many compares with php frameworks, but they are just rather general - OOP supported, MVC supported... there are really unique features which distinguish them. Symfony has flash variables, Zend has tons of classes for general purposes.

Anybody knows such compairing stuff?

Answer 1

Pick one you hear about, try it, and see what fits. Personally I've fallen for CodeIgniter, and just haven't looked into anything else as I haven't run into a limitation for my purposes.

Its really about picking the best tool for the job.

Answer 2

I'd say look into that table on Wikipedia that danp posted. I'd suggest doing some cursory research just by visiting the Wikipedia entries for a few of the top frameworks and pick one. The goal of a framework is to help the programmer to be more productive. If you have a good grasp of PHP and web programming in general, any of the frameworks will be a help.

If you are coming from a Rails background, I would suggest CakePHP or Lithium, since they share a tone of similarities with Rails. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

The problem with comparing unique features is that the unique features are mostly stuff you don't care about, otherwise it would already be implemented in the framework. I'd recommend you to go to forums, both people criticising it and raise it to the skies, see what their cases are and why their framework is a fit for them.

Don't just look for what a framework does, but what it does right .
