I've used CakePHP on several small internal apps and am pleased with it. From what I've heard, it forces you into MVC more than some of the other frameworks, but for me that's a plus. I can think more about what I'm trying to accomplish than how to structure the code. Maybe it's just my lack of experience.

I haven't used any of the other frameworks, unless you count Drupal. If what you're doing is reasonably CMS-like, that may be a good fit (as mentioned earlier).

Subject: [CODE4LIB] PHP MVC frameworks

Hi,

I am interested to hear if anyone is using PHP MVC frameworks to help with their code.  From what I have learned, they seem to be a very good idea indeed.

However, there are so many of them (http://www.phpframeworks.com/)

Also, pkp.SFU.ca uses their own one in their PKP (public knowledge project) software.

Who is using them and what for?

David.
