I use used symfony 1.1 as my second framework but it was aweful! Well I hope yii gets a bigger community and gets famous like symfony and the other frameworks
But besides any speed difference, I will for sure try Symfony 2. It seems much more “enterprise” than Yii or any other framework, but on the other hand it does less magic and needs more configuration. Though I choosed Yii as my first framework because everything is so easy, I’m very interested in more advanced stuff. For those enterprise application types like eg banking websites or big community sites, I have the feeling Yii is no real choice.
Also qiang mentioned Yii 2 somewhere in this forum already. My guess is, we will see Symfony 2 on the “more professional” side and Yii 2 on the other in some years. But still I think today, judging from other framework documentations, Yii is already one of the best web-frameworks for either beginners or advanced users. By the way Yii made it to #1here
What are your thoughts about the future of Yii or php frameworks in general?
I’m not sure if you notice buddy, but you just replied to a 6-month old thread.
We have now 1.1.6, does the statistic remain the same? any improvements?
And yes I’m interested too with a “REAL PROJECT” benchmark. But I have a feeling that I’m too attached to Yii that it’s gonna have my vote no matter what.
That is not very optimistic that Yii team recommend Symfony 2 as a framework with “best practices” and “design patterns”… maybe you should also go this direction? if you let people to participate in developing parts of Yii and include their code wisely I am pretty sure Yii can be also “enterprise” framework with “best practices and design patterns”.
Either you love Yii, or not Symfony is good, but Yii is better. Did you expect this answer? For me it is the truth. Yesterday I’ve included Symfony’s YAML parser in my project and it works just fine, because Symfony is so nice “reusable set of standalone, decoupled, and cohesive PHP components that solve common web development problems”
As for Symfony2 is faster then Yii, then from my experience of using them both, I would say that it’s a very moot point. All this synthetic tests are rather PR than the research. I agree that sf2 can be faster then yii under some circumstances, but this “50% faster than Yii” is worth nothing, it only means that on this certain synthetic test sf2 is faster. Let’s make performance testing with doctrine and some other common bundles/features of sf2 and then compare it to the same yii application
Both frameworks are great but for most of my projects (not all) I still prefer Yii because it’s simple, feature rich and development process is really fast with yii. And for long-term and big projects with several developers involved I think sf2 is better suited
I meant that Symfony2 is the one full of “best practices” and “design patterns” (personally I think it’s a bit overdesigned). Yii have these too but we’re not marketing Yii like “enterprise” type of framework.
