Comparing Frameworks

Default installation as per instructions on the official website of the framework Except using SQLite as opposed to MySQL as the

database engineBasic website as per the tutorial/getting

started document for the frameworkLogin/Authentication functionality added if

not available in the default tutorialPerformance testing for one static page, a

large dynamic page and a login page

Functionality Compared

Zend Framework

Open source (New BSD License)Object OrientedM-V-C ArchitectureRequires PHP 5.2.4 or later

Optionally PHPUnit 3.0Database agnostic

Zend Framework

Provides a console tool (zf) for Rapid Development

Automagically generates models, controllers, layouts and views

Does not automagically generate SQLDoes not automagically create CRUD

functionsPoor documentationDefault tutorials don’t provide Authentication

or Security related examples

CodeIgniter

Is not completely open source (CodeIgniter license) Requires developers to indemnify the company

Object OrientedM-V-C ArchitectureRequires PHP 5.1.6Database agnostic

Does not support SQLite3 natively

CodeIgniter

No console toolNo automagic generation for any functionalityExtremely small download (2.2MB)Does not provide a text tutorial on the site (only

video tutorials)Tutorials on the site use older versions of

CodeIgniter class xyz extends Controller (v 1.x) class xyz extends CI_Controller (v 2.x)

Default tutorials don’t provide Authentication or Security related examples

Symfony (1.4)

Open source (MIT license)Object OrientedM-V-C ArchitectureRequires PHP 5.2.4

Symfony2 will require PHP 5.3.2Database agnostic

Uses doctrine or propel for the Object Relational Mapping (ORM) layter

Symfony (1.4)

Extremely powerful console tool (symfony)Automagically generates all elements including

sql queries (from YAML source)Provides extremely detailed tutorials for all

functionalityTutorials work as documentedThe basic tutorial includes admin functionality

as well as authentication and security information

Plugins are extremely easy to install using console tools.

CakePHP

Open source (MIT license)Object OrientedM-V-C ArchitectureWorks with PHP4 (4.3.2)Database agnostic

Does not natively support SQLite3

CakePHP

Console tool (cake)cake bake generates code if a database is

defined including models, views and controllers for the tables in the database

cake schema is used for database backup/restore functionality

Separate tutorials for a weblog and ACL controlled applications.

Tutorials work as documented

Yii Framework

Stands for Yes It Is!Open source (BSD license)Object OrientedM-V-C ArchitectureRequires PHP 5.3Database agnostic

Yii Framework

Powerful console tool (yiic)Does not generate SQLUses Gii (web based code generator) for

CRUD operationsDefault yii application as generated by yiic

includes authentication functionality and three basic pages

Tutorials are regularly updated

Kohana

Open Source (BSD license)Originally based on CodeIgniter, but no

longerObject OrientedM-V-C ArchitectureRequires PHP 5.1.6Database agnostic

Does not support SQLite3 natively

Kohana

No console toolNo automagic generation for any

functionalityExtremely small download (1.1MB) even

smaller than CodeIgniterDocumentation is poor. Most basic

information like database connectivity is not available on the user guide for version 3.1.

Tutorials are extremely limited (no tutorials for v3.1)

Ruby on Rails

User Friendly (27 June 2008) by J.D. “Illiad” Frazer

Ruby on Rails

Open source (MIT license)Object OrientedM-V-C ArchitectureProvides its own server but using Apache

with Passenger may uninstall PHP5 on Ubuntu

Database agnostic

Ruby on Rails

Multiple console tools (rails and rake)Databases can be managed via console tools

with YAML configuration filesAutomagically generated code includes

CRUD functionality however the Rails Guide notes that experienced Ruby developers rarely use it

Default tutorials use plain http authentication rather than database driven authentication

xkcd.com/353

Django

Open source (BSD license)Object OrientedModel-Template-View design (same as MVC)Provides its own server but can integrate

with Apache or any other serverDatabase agnostic

Django

Uses python manage.py as a console toolAutomagically generates sql and admin

functionalityCan use console tools to manipulate dataTutorial is basic but well written. There is a

“coming soon” at the end of the tutorialAdmin functions are behind login pages, but

the tutorial does not show how to create login pages for the public site
