ASP.NET MVC 2 is comparable to what PHP MVC?

Question

I've been doing a lot with ASP.NET MVC 2 at work and I'd like to utilize my new skills at home... but I have Apache servers, not IIS.

What PHP MVC solutions are the same or at least comparable to ASP.NET MVC 2?

Answer 1

;-) Here's a list another developer has found: http://www.mustap.com/phpzone_post_73_top-10-php-mvc-frameworks .

The #1 solution he recommends is Symfony

Answer 2

Why not use mono? I believe you can directly use your asp.net mvc skills and deploy to your apache servers.

Answer 3

There are a number of PHP MVCs to look at:

• CakePHP
• Expression Engine
• Kohana
• Zend Framework

Kohana is the only one I've done work with and I found it fairly easy to get started. It's open source and specifically created to support PHP 5.2+ so it has a clean, object-oriented codebase.
