The last few days has been a very busy days for us all. Our office is now relocated in Kuala Lumpur, so last week we had to pack everything and say good bye to Phileo Damansara. I going to miss the place even though my stay were just 4 months. Within couple of days, all the necessities in our new office are restored. Now I can continue my research on the web application framework.
I can't remember when was the first time I heard about MVC driven framework. But recently I had opportunity to actualy play around with Rails framework. Since then I fell in love with it. Then I look for PHP based MVC framework on the internet and I astonished by the number of ready made framework.
If you want to ask why PHP, not the Ruby itself? Perhaps for now I'm looking for more PHP projects since it is the most popular programing language out there.
I'm looking for a suitable framework for my future projects. I manage to try out quite a number of frameworks but still I can't recommend any of it for a simple reason. There is no single framework that suit all web application.
But I listed it anyway for my own reference or perhaps you might find it usefull too.

- you must try it first before deciding to build your project
- check the changelog or trac (if available), make sure the development are still on
- look for the documentation, is it suffiecient enough?
- look for the framework community
