Hi, First time posting the message at here. Hope everything turns to be good.

Now a days in the world of PHP (especially version 5 more OOPed), many developers are running towards php frameworks. A lot of talk is going on between the developers on php frameworks. This is why, i also digg myself in php frameworks. Found many interesting frameworks platforms for php. Out of these many frameworks, cakephp [cakephp.org] and symfony [symfony-project.com] is looking very promising. So, i have decided to use one of these frameworks in my future projects.

But few questions arises in my mind :confused:.
Is this trend of using framework is positive? I mean why should we use frameworks? PHP is known to be the best performing web scripting language as compared to ASP.NET and JAVA. The reason i think is may be PHP simple structural programming. If we use frameworks in PHP, does that means slowing ur server performance?
If you have used the cakephp/symfony framework then what is ur feedback about that particular framework in terms of "easibility in coding vs performance of scripts"? (:rolleyes: wow gr8 topic easybility vs performance )

Everyone is welcomed to share information about what they think about using php frameworks.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, webmechanic.

I wouldn't say that a framework would necessarily slow performance. It all depends on how well it is written. Don't forget two other very popular frameworks are PEAR and Zend.


[...] many developers are running towards php frameworks.

Many run away from them too ;)
