PHP frameworks - symfony
Friday, January 20th, 2006I’ve been playing with a few php frameworks - check this list , most of which were pretty cool, but I couldn’t see myself using on an extended basis. However symfony looks really good. After getting past some install errors on ubuntu (blame PEAR), everything worked really smoothly. It reminded me of the first time I played with ruby on rails and was astounded to have a simple website with DB functionality within a couple of minutes.
The features which I think make this framework shine above the rest are its implementation of MVC which is really smooth and its easy template system.
You should check it out. Askeet was build in 24 days as part of a symfony advent - its a good example of how quick it is to get a web app online with symfony.
