Over the last several months I’ve experimented with each of the “big three” PHP frameworks, namely CakePHP, symfony, and the Zend Framework. All three offer unique features and advantages, and are worth a serious look if you’re interested in using a “Rails-like” framework for the PHP language. However, of the three I’ve settled on symfony for current projects, and am experiencing great success using it to create a new e-commerce website I’m soon to deploy.
At any rate, yesterday version 1.0 beta was released! There’s quite a few impressive features and performance gains to be had with the new beta. I highly recommend taking a look at all symfony has to offer if you want to greatly streamline your website development time.
