PHP appreciation thread
I hate PHP. It's not intuitive and its standard library is a mess.
That's as far as my "appreciation" for PHP will go.

>standard library
But PHP has no standard library.

Stick to php7, use composer and good libs, and PHP is pretty comfy :3

Might as well appreciate AIDS since it's an interspecies disease and you can't get rid of it.

It's gets the job done. It's not the most efficient tool, but it works.
I use node mainly now. But I really only work on micro services.

What about Php frameworks ?
I've always cooked my own little framework with an MVC pattern and some useful functions.
What do you guys use ? Is Symphony any good ? A lot of companies look for Symphony devs.

Frameworks are stupid. They're all so bloated - they might just be a completely different language to learn.
>>55337405
Symfony2 is the industry standard. Check it out. It's geared toward large, scalable enterprise applications. If you need rapid development, I would go with laravel
Well at least it isn't NodeJS, RoR, Python or Meteor
>>55337405
Phalcon, although not having php7 is a big caveat.
>>55337535
This looks good. and Laravel too.
There's not that much things being really deprecated in php 7. With some luck it will run in most of the case. But official support would be nice for phalcon.
>>55337405
Laravel is the best framework IMHO.
>>55337564
Phalcon is a framework in a dll file
It won't work work unless you're at the version the dll is meant to be used with.
>>55337594
Or Lumen, the lightweight version of laravel.
