Symfony and Zend Framework

We have been working with Symfony for half a year already and would like to share with you some observations. Symfony is ideal for rapid web application development.We have tried working with three main php frameworks Code Igniter, Zend Framework and Symfony. Code Igniter and Symfony are completely different, so let’s compare Symfony with Zend Framework.

Symfony is a framework for web applications while ZF is a set of libraries. Symfony has a certain structure of catalogues and ZF has a recommended structure but it can be easily changed via the configuration. Probably for some software developers it is convenient but for a beginner it can be difficult and can push them away this framework.

During custom Symfony programming, you can set various options in the configuration and redefine them in separate modules. If you would like to do this in Zend Framework, you will have to write in manually. Moreover, in order to get an access to standard configurations from config.ini, you need to write a good construction in the controller and if you want to use your settings in the model, add them to the Zend_Registry. While working with Symfony you save much time on these details.
