Can anyone recommend a good PHP framework? I've used Zend and Yii - they are okay, but I'd like to try something new. So, other than these two, which ones are good?
Many of Laravel's components can also be stripped out and used as microframeworks. Their database ORM is particularly nice, and I use it alongside Slim on a few projects.
From my experience using it, Laravel also feels a lot "lighter" than the other big frameworks of the past. It's a bit less opinionated, and it's much easier to get set up and running.
