How did I just [i]know[/i] you'd have some kind of reply like this. :rolleyes:
However, I do agree that you should learn the language first, then see what frameworks, IDEs, or other tools help [i]you[/i] to be more productive. (There are probably way too many Rails developers out there who don't [i]really[/i] understand Ruby.) On the other hand, if you are planning/hoping/expecting to work as a developer on part of a team, there's a real good chance you're going to be expected to work within the confines of various frameworks, and as far as server-side stuff goes, there's a real high probability it will be a MVC framework, so it's a good idea to work with some and get a basic understanding of their general strengths and limitations.
Personally, I found CodeIgniter easy to learn a few years back and used it to throw together several freelance (team of one) projects efficiently and on schedule. Obviously, other people's mileages will vary. Where I work now, I use an in-house framework modeled on Java Struts -- it has it's good points and bad points, but I have no choice, like it or not. I'm also starting to learn Ruby and Rails, as we have another major project using it and I don't want to become redundant, in spite of the fact that I'm finding I have a rather strong dislike for Ruby itself. ? (Of course, maybe after I have half as much experience with it as I have with PHP, I'll have a totally different opinion, should that ever come to pass.)
Recommendations for framework
Hi,
I’ve recently started on PHP development. I’ve had experiences previously with Java, C#, ASP.NET, although i wouldn’t claim to be an expert in the languages mentioned.
My question is,
What php frameworks would you recommend for me to dive into for a beginner?
I’m considering CodeIgniter, but it seems that they have stopped development on it.
From what I understand, Zend framework is full-blown…so I probably won’t even consider it.

On the whole, this entire practice of 'frameworks' -- be it PHP, HTML, CSS or JavaScript just doesn't make any sense...[/QUOTE]
