PHP development is not very well organized, like for instance in the Java world where several vendors can provide their own implementations of the same specification. This makes possible to use the same framework API from whatever vendor you prefer. In the PHP world all frameworks are incompatible, even when they attempt to implement similar feature sets. Anyway, you may want to read this more in depth reflection of the state of the PHP framework world and recommendations on how to pick what suits best for you: http://www.phpclasses.org/blog/post/52-Recommended-PHP-frameworks.html
Sorry to intrude with my usual obnoxious behaviour, but this is starting to affect my self-esteem (what's left of it). Am I the only one who has a really hard time reading the blog posts in phpclasses.org? Everytime a reference to this blog is posted I lose track of the discussion, because I can't really grasp what Lemos is talking about. I'd like to make some some constructive criticism, not just to Lemos but to the community in general, since I think many of us need to improve our writing skills: 1 - Don't make loooong boooring posts. 2 - Get to the point. Introduction are great when they are not two pages long. 3 - Stick to the topic. Or use appropiate titles. 4 - If the topic is inherently long, use distinguishable headers and subheaders. It's a pain in the ass to read a 5 pages long article that looks the same everywhere, with no easy way to know what is the subtopic of what are you reading now. 5 - Don't talk so much about your life! You can always make another blog for that... Unless your personal experience can bring an unique insight of the point you're trying to make. That's all folks. --
