Symfony
Symfony is usually at the top of the PHP framework list, and for good reason. Since its first release in 2005, the framework has proven its value as an effective platform for building robust systems in the business environment. Focusing on the Model-Controller-View-Controller (MVC) system, Symfony allows almost everything in the development process to be customized, which is a significant drawback for developers. Available under the open-source MIT License, Symfony has become a leading and independent party in the business world.
Laravel
One of the most popular PHP frameworks on the market is Laravel. It is known for its robustness and simplicity. Laravel caters to a variety of planning needs and is suitable for various types of projects – from basic writing to large business applications. Laravel is built on some of the components that ensure a reliable framework for thoroughly testing and generating reliable code.
CodeIgniter
CodeIgniter is known as a PHP platform that provides easy and beautiful tools for building fully integrated web applications. CodeIgniter uses the popular MVC control method and is known to be faster than other frameworks. The software development company EllisLab developed the code, but since EllisLab closed in 2017, CodeIgniter is now a project of the British Columbia Institute of Technology.
CakePHP
CakePHP, founded in 2005, is another open-source web framework and is widely used in PHP web development. CakePHP provides a clean and easy way to start projects without the hassle of using a PHP MVC assembly. The framework provides flexible structures for the development, processing, and distribution of applications.
Phalcon
Phalcon is a source of open-source PHP web resources written in C language. There is no need to learn the C language, as the framework is described as PHP classes to use. The benefit of using C is that the framework offers high performance and platform stability, which means it is spreading to Microsoft Windows, GNU / Linux, and Mac OS X. Phalcon is an open license available under the new BSD license. While less than two years in the making, Phalcon provides documentation, community, and development resources in other adult frameworks.
Zend Framework
The Zend Framework is an open-source framework for developing web applications and services using PHP 5.3+, and is part of the Zend Technologies initiative. The Zend Framework is based on the MVC approach to web development. It is also part of the broader ecosystem of ZH PHP tools and technologies, including Zend Server and Zen Studio (a paid IDE that includes features that can be integrated with the Zend framework). In January, Zend Framework’s most recent version, framework 3, was announced in 2016; it provides the next generation of PHP development implemented in PHP 7.
