theweb20dev.com — Gone are the days of coding entire PHP apps from scratch. These are the 5 forerunners for the next generation of PHP frameworks. Each one of these frameworks has some foreword thinking quality that sets them apart from the PHP frameworks of yesterday. Many of these are a response to the recent Ruby on Rails, rapid application development hype.

Smarty is conceptually flawed. PHP IS a templating system.No need to add the extra step of parsing to do something PHP does naturally.

Interesting timing - the latest Pro::PHP podcast is a chat from last week's php|tek conference with some of the leads behind these frameworks (as well as PEAR and Easy Components).<a class="user" href="http://podcast.phparch.com/podcast/audio/20060428.mp3">http://podcast.phparch.com/podcast/audio/20060428.mp3</a>

Did Etomite was also called a framework? ;)

Trax is, by and large, the closest thing to rails, and if I were stuck using php, I'd probably use trax. However, the syntax feels extremely hacky. That and there's not much documentation.Rails, however, feels clean, looks clean, and while there are not that many books on the language, there are 3 good books out for the framework.

Using Smarty with your PHP is like mixing Duplo bricks in with your Legos.

Frameworks are great. Until you need to do something the framework doesn't support. Then it *really* hurts...

"Gone are the days of coding entire PHP apps from scratch."only for those of you who don't have time or experience to create your own frameworks! =)

Dead Serious: Skip PHP and Learn Ruby on Rails. You'll be a better programmer, and you can always pick up PHP afterwards.
