I was a bit surprised to see Zend, as the biggest one, at the end of the list. But if you want to create a web application really fast it is more easy with the others. So you’re right! I do personally prefer Codeigniter and Laravel. Thanks for the nice list with significant key features!

Laravel.
try laravel..
Phalcon
Which one is most Secure ?
Codeigniter has built in Injection, XSS, CSRF. Authentication and Authorization are sort of application specific
Phalcon is best
Awesome list of frameworks! I am confused to choose between Codeigniter and cakePHP. Which is better? Which is easier to learn?
go for Codeigniter
Yep. Cake requires and teaches discipline. it’s secure but really really strict. CodeIgniter will make your coding experience less frustrating.
I am newby to these frameworks, so which one should I choose?
Laravel is awesome, simple to learn and use
which was the best framework to learn?
Yii
Laravel and Symfony2 are not bad either, if you are looking to learn for your personal interest then you can go with anyone in the list but if you are looking to work with frameworks then you can find lots of projects with Laravel or Symfony2.
what will be the best ? And i had complted my BSC Comp science .And I am looking for good futher in php? just any body can guide and help me.
Anand – Both frameworks are very good and if you are looking to learn any framework then Lavavel, Symfony2, YII are best options. Also do not worry on selection because if you’ve learned one framework then getting grip on others will not be a hard thing. These frameworks are best and packed up with lots of components and libraries so after learning any one of these you can learn comparatively smaller frameworks like CodeIgniter very easily. Good luck.
Dear frnd ajaniashish do u know any class for learning this framework ? After dat they can provide me good placement .
Anand – there is no need to join classes to learn this frameworks because classes/institutes most of the times just teach basic concepts and overview which is very different from what skills required to work on live environments. In my view you should find companies where you can get training and then offer you a job. You learned the basics and learning frameworks is not a difficult thing if you know basics of PHP well. So start finding companies from today in you area/city. Good luck.
