Symfony is my go to framework since I create long lifetime projects - many which exceed a decade of us. The long term support afforded by Symfony affords be the latest security patches for years (not months like Laravel) meaning I only need to perform major version upgrades to the framework less frequently saving time and money. When looking into a framework you’ll need to continue to support for many years, framework stability is huge.

Fantastic content-rich and exactly what I was looking for, cheers!

That's really a rare and good thing to remember that in many cases ...we maybe don't actually need a Framework, but we just get used to it. A long way back, when trying to chose between Twig, Smarty &co some guy answered something like: "Why bloating your code with a templating library while PHP already do that natively?". He was not wrong but I was not ready, and busy to the "trendy things" at the moment, just like those that stuffed everybody into Laravel and coding more "Laravel" than actually PHP.

I use CI because that's what the company has been using for past few years.
Good information 👍.
Would look forward to similar content on JS frameworks.

People keep sleeping on Spiral framework, but it's amazing.

Docs are great, performance is top notch, and it's designed for mid-size to large-scale sites and promotes software engineering best practices all along the way.

If working with PHP, i am keep in mind to use it as Backend. Sometimes i am using Slim, since it kind like express in NodeJS, i can setup the folder dir with my own preference.

I've been using fuelphp since 2014, I really like it, it's fast and has a lot of features.

CI is the fastest in terms of execution

[DevDrawer]

Which PHP framework do you use? Why or why not?

[amigaworkbench]

I would only use CI for anything serious that needs to be maintained.
You should have add Trongate.

Hello, what about Nicotine Framework for PHP & MySQL? It is very fast, has support for Admin, API requests, CLI cronjobs and it is modern, works with PHP >= 8.2.0

00:04 - I'm not native, but... Did you say: "framworks you should use in 202030"?

[SultanovAsrorbek]

For me Symfony and it is hard to for beginners. 😅

Laravel is my favorite one, but with any new versions he become more complicated, and this is not good...

I honestly disagree with the suggestion for people who have exposure to MVC to use Laravel over Symfony; Laravel's implementation of MVC is a mess, and their documentation does not help. If your requirements are EXTREMELY simple, or you are already an experienced Laravel user this isn't a problem, but if your trying to implement business logic based on the MVC design patten for the first time, Symfony is a vastly cleaner option (at least at time of writing).
