I finally! managed, after several annoying phone calls and dozens of emails, to convince the client to switch from ZF1 to another framework after spending several hours setting up Zend_Locale, which, as already predicted, didn't work properly.

I've already written a rant about it.

Project size is approx. 200,000 lines of ZF1 code. ZF3 would be a possibility, but I don't know what the guys from Zend will do with it in the future. The community doesn't seem to be that big either.

What framework would you suggest for PHP at the moment?

undefined

framework

zend

php

suggestion

zf1

zf3

    If it's PHP, then Laravel. It's even easy to hack it if you don't like something. Hell, I don't always do PHP (in fact I try very hard to avoid it), but when I do, it's Laravel or Laravel.

    I'm a little worried about the selection. There is a migration guide for ZF1 to ZF2/3. With Laravel I would have to rewrite the whole source code. On the other hand, Laravel is definitely the better framework.

    Hard decision.

    The best approach would be to look and try the guides to migrate to the newer version first and if its not moving anywhere (limit yourself wasting time to it), then just rewrite it in laravel - which then could take a lot longer still though, depending how fast you can pick it up for example.

    I took a look at Laravel 5.5 (Laracasts) and decided to port the whole application to Laravel. Permission from the client has been granted, and now I'm ready to go. Goodbye, Zend, finally!

    God help me.

    @tracktraps Glad you discovered Laracast, forgot to mention it myself - somebody here recommended me laravel and I was so fucking happy to come across laracast.

    While youre at it, laravel has a great discord community you could check out for random questions you have, good luck on it!
