Taking a look at ten different PHP frameworks
(Page 1 out of 4)Introduction
PHP frameworks are the latest hot topic in the PHP community, and new frameworks are being released daily. With over 40 frameworks available it's difficult to decide which framework works best for you, especially as each framework offers different functionality.
In this article we will look at ten popular frameworks, and compare them to each other. First I will give you a general chart which gives you a quick overview of all the frameworks, and after that we'll go through each framework and discuss it in short.
A Quick Overview
Below you can view a chart of the ten frameworks, and what functionality each frameworks offers.

According to the chart I would simply choose Seagull. I might even use it in my next project and wait until Zend’s incredible machine becomes more mature.
March 20th, 2006 at 4:28 pm
Just a heads up: The latest release of CakePHP (0.10 Final) has support for caching and every release has had templates (it is an MVC framework after all).
March 20th, 2006 at 4:30 pm
oh… and ORM too. The model/controller is based on the ActiveRecord pattern.
March 20th, 2006 at 4:47 pm
Very useful (at least for me) once my php got a bit more complicated.
March 20th, 2006 at 4:48 pm
CakePHP has released a final version (0.10) of its framework today!
March 20th, 2006 at 4:51 pm
Your review of Symfony is incorrect, it has a templating system built in as well as modules! Please do your research!
March 20th, 2006 at 4:51 pm
I should note that Symfony also allows for alternate templating systems, like Smarty.

There is a small mistake in the chart: CakePHP has built-in caching in the current version (0.10).
March 20th, 2006 at 5:52 pm
The seagull framework supports ORM for RAD, so it should be marked on your chart.
Other than that, excellent chart.
March 20th, 2006 at 5:59 pm
You did not even mention qcodo. I have tested them all and I believe qcodo is the best. http://qcodo.com Check out the demos. It is the most complete and up to date framework.
March 20th, 2006 at 6:02 pm
Hello,
CakePHP has ActiveRecord. It says so on the first line of the website under “What is CakePHP?”. (http://www.cakephp.org/)
It also has templating. Under “Key Features”, again on the front page, “fast, flexible templating (PHP syntax with helper methods)” (http://www.cakephp.org/)
The latest release has caching - again read their website. (http://cakeforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=73)
Not sure what you mean by modules, but I think components, plugins and helpers are pretty much the same thing.
I think that means Cake ticks all the right boxes - take a look and see if you agree with me.
Regards,
Andrew

I think this is a deceptive chart. I’ve used Symfony and Seagull and they are very different in fundamental ways and comparing them this way is misleading. I think that Symfony is a much better framework, but the chart would make you believe they are on par. (For the record Symfony has templating and modules.) I haven’t tried cakephp, but of the other top contenders Symfony is the best and most forward-thinking product–you can create really powerful web 2.0 apps with it very quickly. I love it!
March 20th, 2006 at 9:15 pm
Nice comparison, but how is ‘popular’ measured?
My only concern here is the apples vs. oranges comparison. There are frameworks in the list that aren’t frameworks but component libraries. If you list ez components and zend framework, you might as well list PEAR, which is no less a framework than some of the others are, but very popular nevertheless.

I am an IT guy, Systems Admin. Looking to work on some serious web projects. If I am somewhat new to programming/web development (besides pure html), which way would you recommend, a PHP Framework, or Ruby on Rails? From the point of view of someone starting from scratch. If a PHP framework, then which one?
Thanks a lot to anyone who answers this.

Thanks for the heads-up on CakePHP’s caching. I changed the chart. As for the templates; I’m looking for more than just regular views, and there should be a seperate template engine of some sorts that allows tags or something similar. Unless CakePHP also supports this?
App: I took another look, but couldn’t find a real template engine in Symfony, and only found regular PHP-based views. I couldn’t find anything about Smarty integration either. Could you point me to the right docs? Thanks.
Jason Ragsdale: you’re right, and I missed it. My bad, and thanks for letting me know. I’ve changed the chart.
Plezops: I just checked, and you’re right. I’ve fixed the chart, thanks for letting me know.
Andrew: you’re right about the ORM, and I’ve updated the chart. As for the templating, I don’t think Cake qualifies, as I’m looking for more than just PHP-based views. I’m actually looking for a powerful template engine, like Smarty, Savant, etc. Or custom solutions like Prado and ZooP.
Thanks for all the great comments everyone, and if you notice anymore wrong information let me know. Also, I’ll try to keep the chart up-to-date as much as possible.
March 20th, 2006 at 11:32 pm
The chart doesn’t really do something like the Zend Framework justice. It is unique in that you have much more freedom in how you want to arrange your application. It focuses on simplicity of implementation more than the others and lets you use bits and pieces where you want to. The other frameworks lock you in to a relativley rigid application structure and naming convention. The downside to it is that it requires more advanced PHP skills to utilize effectively (an upside, really, for more advanced developers).

CakePHP could have all the checks in the above chart.
Our framework allows you to extend the view, doing this you can use any template system you want in Cake.
I wrote this class a while ago to give people an idea how to extend it, this is the SmartyView.

And we have helpers and components (modules) that ship with the core, many more are found on CakeForge site.

Cake doesn’t tie itself to any one templating system. That is one of its strengths.
You could in theory use any templating system. Here’s how to get CakePHP to use Smarty for example: http://wiki.cakephp.org/tutorials:cake_with_smarty?s=smarty
I get the impression you didn’t realy research any of these products. Did you just go the homepage of each one and check off their list of features against your own requirement list?

#10: Indicates whether the framework has other modules, like an RSS feed parser, PDF module or anything else (useful).
———————————————————————————————–
What do you mean by modules I’m lost, those are frameworks not CMSs you do know that, right ? you do also know that Components/Plugins/vendors are what you call Modules in framework’s terminology ? If that’s what you are refering to, then check CakePHP’s Wiki, you can integrate PDF, Rss, whatever you want..
also seagull uses pear::flexy, that’s an exterior thingy, they didn’t write flexy, now did they ?
Well, as previously mentionned, you can integrate, in theory, whatever templating engine you want in CakePHP.
March 21st, 2006 at 5:13 pm
I didn’t just have a look at the homepage, but actually did some thorough research, and tried to be as accurate as possible. While it’s true that I didn’t test each framework individually, I did:
- download each framework, and installed it
- look through the documentation for its functionality
- look through the source to check for any missing features
- check out the demo’s
- do some Google searches to find any more information.
I made a few mistakes here and there, but in general it’s a fair comparison, and the chart is quite accurate.
Oth: by “other modules” I mean extra functionality that isn’t listed in the chart, like handling PDF’s (Zend), Feed components, web services, Json, etc.

Contrary to the review, Symfony allows “Modules” (in Symfony they are called “Plugins”). There are several early implementations of plugins available for symfony that include image manipulation, graphing and PDF generation.
Symfony also has allows provides instructions to use the Smarty Template system instead of traditional PHP pages as templates.

Also, I don’t see this as a material comparison of these frameworks. Unfortunately, many of them take a radically different approach from one another, so this kind of comparison is Apples to Oranges. You might consider adding http://www.qcodo.com/ as well.
It’s nice to see someone trying!

It’s a bit sad to see that the Yellow Duck Framework is missing from the list. It has the features that are listed in the table:
- PHP4: YES
- PHP5: YES
- MVC: no
- Multiple DB’s: YES (supports MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQLite)
- ORM: YES (YDDatabaseObject)
- DB Objects: YES (YDDatabaseObject)
- Templates: YES (smarty)
- Caching: NO
- Validation: YES
- AJAX: YES
- Auth Module: YES
- Modules: lots, like YDGraph, YDPdf, YDCart, YDFeedCreator, YDInstaller, YDMySQLDump
- Documentation: YES, a 300+ page user guide and full API documentation
More on: http://ydframework.berlios.de
March 23rd, 2006 at 5:40 pm
Let The Record Reflect:
I don’t know how you can say the Zend Framework has “MVC”: First of all, it’s barely a loose collection of components as it is, and for that matter, they don’t even have an “M” yet (note the decided *lack* of ActiveRecord implementation, or even an attempt at it).
Bottom line: Don’t expect much. I guess they don’t realize it yet, but they can’t have it both ways. It’s a shame that Zend has bought this far into their own hype, I can only hope that no one else does.
As for the claims that it’s more efficient for “advanced” developers, I categorically disagree. Having written software for the last 12 years, I can tell you that there’s nothing about it that makes it any more efficient than your run-of-the-mill component library. They make you do all the structure yourself.
Seagull: I don’t know why people keep confusing Seagull for a web development framework. Seagull is *at best* a bloated groupware application with something of an API.
CakePHP: As others have said, CakePHP checks every box on the list and then some. The View tier is completely extensible, and classes have already been written to integrate it with Smartys. Not that the idea that templates can’t use native PHP isn’t patently ridiculous. Not only that, but no modules? Cakeforge.org is an entire site completely devoted to applications and “modules” that extend CakePHP.
Symfony: It’s not a *bad* framework, but neither is it very efficient. Low signal-to-noise ratio.
PHP on Trax: Not too bad. Not as many features as the others, but very lightweight and not a bad place to start if on PHP5.
Prado: Are you kidding me? I might as well use .NET
In summary, I think the review as a whole is far too simplistic, and while I believe the effort in and of itself should be appreciated (and maybe this could be a springboard for a more in-depth review), the fact that the initial publication of the article didn’t even include a check indicating that CakePHP supported ORM, when that is one of the key features (as stated right on the home page), only serves to underscore the lack of research and review time which was put into it.

Hi,
I think your overview is a little incomplete. I would like to see a list of what each of these frameworks needs to work. Besides just PHP and database versions are there any more things they need? I read some use pear, but it would be nice to see how each one handles the functionality it provides.
I do agree that it is mostly personal preference. So far I have been very pleased with CakePHP, mostly cause it is a very simple install and does not require me to update any packages outside of its own.
Thanks.
March 24th, 2006 at 10:29 am
Zend Framework (http://framdwork.zend.com ) is under active development. SolarPHP (http://www.solarphp.com ) which shares same architecture seems to be more mature and ready to use than Zend. These two framework are developed by most talented developers. They should be considered at first
CakePHP and Symphony are interesting too. Good docs, good community.
PHP on Trax, where is its documentation? I think it is dead.
Prado, a product from a Chinese and ASP.net inspired version, I dont care.
Seagull, I can not differentiate it from a its own API-based application.
March 24th, 2006 at 12:11 pm
At least, one thing are missed -> PEAR - required or no?!?
As for me it’s a really first thing I’ve always checking when selecting solution for my projects. I DON’T LIKE PEAR and it’s important for me.
From the proposed list, I like CodeIgniter & still waiting for completing Zend Framework.

2. The active record features have been spun off into their own class, offering much more customizable queries (joins are now supported too). The active record syntax has also been simplified in many cases, and if you’re running PHP 5 you can even do method chaining.
So far I’ve tested all the platforms except MS SQL or ODBC. By the way, I’ve greatly simplified the database adapters so it’s quite easy to add new databases.

[…] Nesenai paskaičiau straipsnį apie 10 PHP framework’ų, tiesa straipsnis nelabai vykęs, bet apskritai paėmus šis straipsnis turi daug tiesos. Viena iš j, kad nėra framework’o kuris būtų optimalus visais glaimais panaudos atvejais. Šiuo metu įmonėj naudojam ZNF, kuris turi ir savo trukūmų. Tačiau buvo pasirinktas šis dėl tikrai vikusios sprendimo minties, tačiau su realizacija kažkiek tai sušlubuota. Viena iš pagrindinių gerų šio fraework’o pusių yra labai griežta modulinė struktūra aprašoma xml failais. Tiesa dar visai nemažai gerų žodžių teko girdėti apie CakePHP. Tiesa savo rankomis neteko čiupinėti, tačiau bandęs kolega neliko nusivylęs, tiesa šiek tiek liūdina kad nera default’inio smarty template’ų palaikymo, nors galima jį pasidaryti pačiam pasiskaičius jų forumus. Štai ką cake developeriai patys sako: […]

PHP on Trax documentation is out of control now. PHP on Trax was for the most part a one man show until recently, so now things are moving along quite nicely. If you go to the PHP on Trax documentation page, then click on the first link there (API), you will see lots of goodies. And yes, to my knowledge, the framework is lighter and more flexible and faster to develop on, than most frameworks out there–please verify.

I’ve used openbiz framework http://www.phpopenbiz.org. It is not so well known, but it completes all framework features. The coolest thing is its metadata-driven nature which allows developers to build applications mostly without coding. Also it has Eclipse plugin tool to help development with wizards.
- PHP4: YES for earlier version
- PHP5: YES
- MVC: YES (its MVC is more like JSF not struts)
- Multiple DB’s: YES (with ADODB)
- ORM: YES (Flexible mapping with metadata, SQL-like language)
- DB Objects: YES (BizDataObj)
- Templates: YES (smarty)
- Caching: YES (with BizDataObj)
- Validation: YES (on both client and server side)
- AJAX: YES (it was built on AJAX from the first version)
- Auth Module: YES (customerizable auth modules)
- Modules: YES (developers can always add more by writing plugin services)

ez Component in its latest version has a Template component.

Cake does have a rich set of features, but the design is screwed up and the documentation in bad shape (not the worst of all the frameworks though … )
A framework has two common point of view: one, scaffold the most likely application execution path all the way from dispatching through controller, model and view. This “all-in-one” approach in Cake etc makes simple apps (which do not challenge the design assumption) relatively easy (80%) , at the expense of other 20% of apps have to jump through hoop.
The better strategy is to scaffold an execution path only from dispatch to the target controller, with options to override default behaviour, and provide the rest of the framework as a toolkit of APIs. This is the approach with Mojavi which I like better, as it allows me to take a non-MVC app (like a CMS) and adapt it without rearchitecting from the ground up.

If you’d like to try out yet another Framework in PHP, you can take a look at PHPWebBuilder. It supports object relational mapping, a component-based MVC, and transparent AJAX support.

[…] Hopefully the PHP community will get behind a framework and make it happen. If you know any PHP developers, encourage them to lend a hand.

PHP Cake supportes multiple *predefined* databases (you need a driver).
For example, you can’t use OCI and Oracle (or can you?).

[…] The web development framework for Ruby is Rails. Sure, there are lots of frameworks out there for PHP and some of them even try to mimic Rails quite a bit. Choice in frameworks sounds great but in practice it can be quite frustrating. With attention divided across competing projects, it’s inevitable that all the frameworks suffer. Instead of being able to focus on making one excellent framework, developers on these competing teams are duplicating efforts far too often. The end result of competing frameworks in the same development platform is normally a good, but not great, collection of frameworks. There is enough competition between the web frameworks across different development platforms to keep innovation moving at a rapid pace. […]

You should have a look to this Ruby on Rails port to PHP.
They have ported most of the original Ruby On Rails to PHP + added i18n. Even RoR API documentation has been ported. I feel that this framework can gain popularity quickly as most RoR tutorials, cheat-sheets, videos and manuals can be easily adapted.
The only concern is that this is a ONE man project!!, but I’m sure that a community will grow quickly around it as the fetaures it already provides are quite impressive and will match those needed by many programmers.
