In Your Experience and Opinion What is the Best PHP Framework?

I'm looking for a new framework to call home but I'd like to stay with PHP, for now.

I'll be using it for small web apps that may need to have APIs.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hi Keith,

If your looking for a basic framework that will easily handle routes etc then you could have a look at Slim PHP, its a mature framework which will handle all the basics its easily extended using ORM packages etc.

If your looking for something with all these out of the box then Laravel would be a good option, having used it on several projects, I've found the documentation informative and community friendly and helpful.

Obviously this is just my opinion.

Regards Bob

It looks like Laravel is where I'm headed. I'm liking everything I see.

Thanks again Bob!
