#What do you need to master about the PHP framework?

The following introduces several mainstream PHP frameworks.

(1) Zend Framework

Zend Framework is a PHP framework developed by Zend Company and can be used to develop Web programs and services. Zend Framework uses the MVC architecture pattern to separate different parts of the application, thereby facilitating program development and maintenance.

(2) CakePHP

CakePHP is a rapid development framework that uses famous design patterns such as ActiveRecord, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC. The main goal of this framework is to enable PHP developers of all levels to develop robust web applications quickly and flexibly.

(3) Yii

Yii is a high-performance component-based PHP framework for developing large-scale Web applications. Yii is written in strict OOP and has complete library references and comprehensive tutorials. Yii provides almost all the functions needed for today's Web2.0 application development. In fact, Yii is also one of the most efficient PHP frameworks.

(4) ThinkPHP

ThinkPHP is a fast, compatible and simple lightweight PHP development framework developed by Chinese people. It was born in early 2006, formerly known as FCS, and officially changed its name to ThinkPHP on New Year's Day in 2007. ThinkPHP is released under the Apache2 open source protocol, transplanted from the Struts structure and made improvements and improvements. It also draws on many excellent foreign frameworks and models. It uses the object-oriented development structure and MVC mode, integrates the ideas of Struts and TagLib (tag library), RoR's ORM mapping and ActiveRecord mode, and encapsulates common operations on the database, single entry mode, etc. It has unique performance in template engine, caching mechanism, authentication mechanism and scalability.

(4) Codelgniter

Codelgniter (CI) is also a relatively old PHP framework. Contrary to ZF, it is very small, with the core class library only about 1MB. It is relatively simple to use, and the code framework follows the common MVC structure. However, the encapsulation of the CI class library is not refined enough, and the design of some framework levels feels too cumbersome; in addition, the documentation of CI is not very good, especially the lack of good Chinese documentation, which greatly hinders the popularity of the CI framework in China.
