Top 3 PHP Frameworks

There are many free (open source) PHP frameworks available for download to create robust, dynamic websites in php very fast. But first, let's visit the definition.
Code Igniter - trusted PHP framework
A framework is an application which helps to create websites in less time by providing the common activities in a website. Like, a framework usually contains code for validation, minimize security flaws and validate input data

There are many PHP frameworks available, some of them include


  • Seagull
  • CodeIgniter
  • Cake PHP
  • PHP open biz
  • ash.MVC
  • Zend
  • YII
A framework is usually based on MVC (model - View - Controller) Structure. The top 3 php frameworks are as under
  1. YII 
  2. Code Igniter
  3. Zend
YII - PHP framework
If you are a php developer, you must learn one of these frameworks because it already do the basic heavy work load to start a web application in both validation wise and security wise. If you ask me, i would recommend YII - Framework as it's based on code igniter framework and it's better than Zend for many reasons

YII framework is based on MVC structure, it supports multiple database, ORM and DB objects. It has builtin authentication module, ajax module and other development related modules available to just plug and play. However, Ajax module and authentication module is not built-in in Code-Igniter framework. Zend is no doubt a good option, but YII framework is latest so i would recommend either YII or Code-Igniter, but don't forget, you can say that YII framework is an updated and enhanced form of Code Igniter.
