How to best select a PHP framework - Laravel, Symfony, Zend, Etc [closed]


We can't tell you what is the best framework for you - only you can decide that. But you've mostly answered your question in your description of your options - it seems like Laravel is what you're leaning towards. Plus, it's an open source project, if the creator were to throw in the towel I'm sure there would be enough momentum for others to pick it up.

One additional point I'd make: 10 years is a long time in web development - none of the frameworks in your list existed 10 years ago. It's good to try and choose something with some longevity, but I wouldn't try and plan too far ahead.


Tons of articles have answered this question already. One written a little over a year ago should give you a decent idea of how to make your decistion:
