Can you name some popular PHP frameworks and their primary features?

Hi everyone!

I’m exploring PHP frameworks to enhance my web development skills. Could you share your experiences with popular PHP frameworks and their standout features?

Have you thought about asking ChatGPT? Or at least do a google search for “php frameworks” and right at the top of the search results it lists several and then in the following results shows websites that talk about their features and differences.

Here are the top 3 php framework.

  1. Laravel
  • it’s syntax is clean and easy to understand
  • it is powerful ORM that you can interact with databases in an object-oriented way
  • it simplifies working with views and layouts
  • The command-line interface helps with automation tasks
  • it features tools like Laravel Forge, Envoyer, Horizon and Nova
  1. Symfony
  • it allows you to use its components in standalone projects & making it super flexible
  • highly customizable for building large-scale applications
  • widely used for developing RESTful APIs
  1. CodeIgniter
  • It’s a simple & lightweight framework
  • don’t need a complex setup to get started, beginner-friendly
  • The Model-View-Controller structure is easy to follow for new developers

Good Luck.

Pick up a framework when you’ve attained a good understanding of how to use PHP by itself. To do so beforehand is just trying to crutch up a resume by saying you’ve used X Y or Z.
