Which framework to choose? And why?

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Jo=E3o_Morais?=]

Hi there guys,

I've been looking for a php framework so I can develop my future
applications with it, already looked at some but need some opinions in
which one to choose.

I'll be only working with PHP5.

Hope you guys can help with some pros and cons.

Thanks in advance

Why stop at a framework? There are plenty of ready-made
skeleton applications waiting to be extended. In many
cases, this approach can yield results much faster than
coding from scratch, even if using a framework.

Also, you seem to be looking for a single solution to all
problems, including those you haven't defined yet. This
is not a good approach...

Cheers,

I'm not interested in extending an existing application. Although it
could produce results much faster.

Thats not right. I'm looking for a good framework solution, at the
moment I already have defined the structure of a new project and what
I want is a php framework that supports MVC, (and has a couple of
other things) so I won't need to implement it from scratch.

Thanks for your answer.

Symphony, CakePHP the first two that come to mind...

Again, good for WHAT? Which database engine(s) do you expect
to work with? Do you need AJAX? What, if any, are you
internationalization needs?

at the moment I already have defined the structure of a new

(and has a couple of other things) so I won't need to implement
it from scratch.

In that case, check out Symfony, CakePHP, and CodeIgniter...

Mostly MySQL but other options are a plus.
Yes, ajax is needed.
Internationalization too.

Already did it, at the moment I think symfony completes my
requirements.

Another good place to start : http://www.therightsoft.com/software.../webframeworks

It gives an idea of framework notoriety, activity and maturity and
links to tutorials and books. But you have to figure by yourself if
the framework features match your needs
