Laravel the top PHP framework?

[Bawse]

Do you think Laravel is the best framework available for PHP programmers? What other frameworks do you like?

I've only ever used CodeIgniter, and Laravel. I started with CodeIgniter in school, and eventually transitioned over to Laravel.

Absolutely! Laravel's elegant syntax, robust ecosystem, and built-in tools like Eloquent ORM, Artisan, and Blade templating make it the go-to framework for modern PHP development. The community support and regular updates only strengthen its position as the top PHP framework. Whether you're building small apps or large enterprise solutions, Laravel handles it all with ease.

Laravel is definitely one of the best frameworks for PHP, offering a lot of features and flexibility.
I also appreciate Symfony for its robustness and scalability in larger projects.
CodeIgniter is great for simpler applications, especially when you need something lightweight and fast to develop.

Laravel does much of the heavy lifting for you, so you can build something robust quite quickly.

But I can hamper your growth as a developer if you are always using its inbuilt tool and tools from the ecosystem without understanding how and why they work the way they do.

This is why it is always best for people new to Laravel to start with PHP basics and at least learn some OOP before touching Laravel. Doing this will also save you a lot of time in the future as a beginner.
