Django and Rails, both DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) frameworks, were both written by PHP programmers who decided they needed something better. They needed to escape to a language (Python and Ruby respectively) that supported adequate object semantics natively. I don't see how doing another kludge for PHP, the way Java programmers tried to pull off with Struts (and now other attempted DRY frameworks for Java) is going to help. The Java guys are losing ground and to hardcore DRY systems and the PHP guys seem destined for the same fate.

Templation is a cool PHP "CMS" ... more of a website templating system. I use it on 5 sites totalling thousands of pages. Couldn't live without it anymore for sites this big.<a class="user" href="http://templation.websaviour.com/">http://templation.websaviour.com/</a>

The objecty nature of Ruby is cool. The syntax is bats**t crazy. There's a reason why PHP succeeded over Perl for market share in the web app market, and I have to believe crazy Perl syntax had something to do with it. If in PHP 6 they can nail the object stuff like Ruby does, and facilitate the "DRY" frameworking, while keeping a sane syntax -- now that is something I'd like to see. (I realise my comments are subjective.)

Very nice comparison of frameworks.Great work, especially to decision makers which have to choose from a variety of frameworks out there.I wish some one would summarize the same for J2EE/web frameworks...

When I read "what is framework?" from joshpape, I expected their to be massive flames directed at him "for being a n00b" and "why are you on digg?" and the like. Instead, I read posts that were constructive and informative.Well done, digg! My faith in you has returned! digg

Smarty is awesome for large dev teams that split their production (css/html) staff from their engineering staff. It makes the code editable and accessible by just about anyone and gives noobie production hires the chance to work on a complex site without really having the ability to f**k anything up.

@ subsec.... just for being grammar nazi (kidding) - this comes from non-english native.if it's comfusinf for you, imagine how it is for us who do not speak english as first language.do not get me wrong, but sometimes i get the feeling that people speak better english in some countries that you would never think about or even know about.

Ok tinkered with Symfony last night. I like it a lot, partly because so far it's "just worked" and I haven't touched my httpd.conf or php.ini once (unlike some of the other frameworks) but there seems to be a lot of configuration, and it's clearly not following RoR nice principle of "Convention Over Configuration" which is a shame coz that's what makes RoR so clean and appealing.

I think the php on trax project is offering php on trax hosting. I am not sure, but I also think you can install it in your own localized (e.g. not root) version. ActiveRecord is supposed to become a PEAR library soon.
