Using a framework greatly aids in the development process, but tools like the Zend Framework, Ruby on Rails, and Grails require developers to spend a lot of time learning to use them. However, most developers can learn these lightweight PHP frameworks more quickly:
- DooPHP
- Fat-Free
- Kohana
- Limonade
- Recess
- Orinoco
- No-Framework PHP MVC Framework
- Simple PHP Framework
- Yii
- Zend Framework
