Which is A Best One?

So many open source projects MVC pattern in PHP, you can see the complete list of the projects at http://www.phpwact.org/php/mvc_frameworks. I just can say wow! then wondering which one i should be use? Some provide the basic framework, another provide more than MVC. Some projects are ported from another projects such as Struts, Ruby on Rail and so on, another brings their own concept for implementing the MVC pattern. I have no idea, which is a best one. Zend also participated on this “race”.

I spent several times to dig many projects, then searching for the numbers of users for each projects. Then I found Mojavi, Phrame, CAKE and WACT are most popular projects. How about concept? Which is a best one? AFAIK Mojavi has own impresive concept and implementation, but it’s too complicated for newbie but easy to learn. Phrame is a Struts port for PHP, simple and powerfull. CAKE and WACT, sorry it’s not easy to learn it.

I still wondering which one MVC framework projects I should be uses? Or I must be waiting for Zend Framework.

  • I recomment the Seagull Framework at http://seagull.phpkitchen.com/ ?
    A big advantage of Seagull over other projects is the nice documentation at their wiki. They have in-depth tutorials about any topic like architecture, installation, writing own modules and so on. This is the main reason that kept me away from other projects which may do a better job but are just too difficult to get into.

  • And, of course, Solar at http://solarphp.com. As lurker wrote, plenty to choose from.

  • Yes, may choices. Also evaluate http://www.achievo.org/atk
    We are not so well known yet but our users are generally positive. And we’re not new, we’ve developed the framework inhouse for over 5 years now.

  • That should read ‘many choices’. Wireless keyboard battery’s running out :-)

  • hmm.. currently i’m digging PRADO, since i worked with .Net before, i’m more familiar with this one than the others :)

    I haven’t used it yet but after accidently coming across Prado from the first comment here I must say this looks awesome. I was in the midst of creating a simple way of tying templates to php classes (beans). Then I started to look at MVC type architectures and almost had a coronary at the complexity of them. That is when I came across this website while looking for the best MVC. Prado looks the bomb!

    Will give it a run tomorrow.
