CodeIgniter, Yii, Symfony, Zend, Laravel and CakePHP are some of the best PHP frameworks in 2013. Each framework has its own features and developers should choose a framework based on the needs of their application, considering factors like the size of the application, database support, community support and documentation. While some frameworks are better for smaller applications, others are more suitable for large enterprises.
Best PHP Frameworks 2013
- 1. Best PHP Frameworks in 2013 PHP Frameworks provides architecture (MVC) to create applications. It helps to speed up application development process. After reading the views of many programmers, I made a conclusion that none of the PHP Frameworks satisfies all the programmers/applications needs. Each Framework has its own features and it should be chosen as per the needs. Like some are good for small application while some are best suited for large. You should check their database support, community support and documentation while choosing one. When people get used to a particular Framework, and then they hardly think of other. They believe that the one they are using is the best. But I think it’s good to have knowledge of more than one Framework. Here is the best PHP Frameworks trending in 2013 (not in any order). 1. CodeIgniter It is the easiest to learn and it’s a lot of programmers’ favorites. It’s very flexible and works well for small and medium-sized applications. It has large community support and documentation. http://ellislab.com/codeigniter

- 4. 6. CakePHP It’s not quite easy to learn and should follow strict naming convention.
