PHP framework?

Do you guys use any sort of PHP framework or are you kicking it oldschool?
Im working on a project where i connect to MYSQL for registering etc.
But at the moment im using MYSQLI, which is not too bad but sadly when i begun with php i used MYSQL which is easier for me atleast to understand.

All i want with this thread is to get your opinions please dont just write what you use, i would appriciate it if you said why you use the framework or why you dont use any framework.


Im new to this forum category and i've only seen good stuff posted here so i will adjust my releases to be as professional as yours.

Cheers, Elias.

Hey Elias,

Im using my own MVC-Framework cause then I know how to use it and which functions are implemented. All mysql_*-functions will be removed in any upcoming version so you have to use mysqli_*. I guess you if you dont know OOP to learn that because everything wil be much better and easier to code, because you cann reuse all of your classes in any other project too.

Cheers,

Laravel([Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...])!
Best Framework ive ever seen.

Good Documentation + Good Video Tutorials on youtube.com/phpacademy

Use Laravel, it's my absolute favorite.

I can recommend "Laracasts" aswell, there's a whole lot of video tutorials, the basics are free, the advanced stuff is offered by subscription, watch atleast the beginners stuff ;o

Symfony2

I think many of you didn't understand the target of the Threadcreator. He wanted to know, why you use these Frameworks.

I generally don't use Frameworks. But in my last Project i learned a little bit to work with them and i think i will start using some Frameworks in the future.

Hello, i use ZendFramework 2, i like the module architecture, easy to use 3 party modules like symfony, but with symfony i had many problems with custome logins and so on, so i switch to zf2.

I am using the using the SilverStripe CMS that is build onto the sapphire framework. The framework can be downloaded seperate as well though. It takes a little practice to understand it but once you understand it it will be very easy to add new functionalities plus you will be having a CMS.
